The Amazing Spider-Man A J.J. Abrams Spider-Man?

[Reikowolf]

I think J.J. could make a kickass Spidey movie, I would love to see what he would do with it, I have a feeling he also wouldn't include all the corniness of Raimi which would definitely be preferable.

I'm not so sure. Star Trek had plenty of Corny lines in it.

The whole scene with the Vulcan kids using logic to bully was pretty corny.

Not only that, but Trek was pretty paint-by-numbers. Kirk had all the cliche' badboy traits, stealing a car as a kid, being a wise-ass, barroom fights, the motorcycle..

There was little depth. Abrams made no attempt to explain or explore why passioante Earth women fell in love with Vulcans, or why Vulcans wanted to be with them. No relationship between Kirk and his mom, even though their shared tragedy of Kirk's dad's death would have had an impact (Good or bad) on their relationship.

And the handling of Spock's being unfit to lead was clunky and silly.

And turn the film into the adentures of James Tiberius and his mother or intergalictic species romance? I don't think so. This film is Star Trek. Why waste time explaining stuff that doesn't need to be explained. Who cares if Uhuru and Spock are together or if Spock's dad got with a human? It's not essential. It's natural, standard and expected stuff in scifi shows, books and films. As for corny lines, um, the dialogue was much better than what's been written in the spider-man movies imo and Kirk's character had enough depth to him. He may have had cliche badboy traits but he had an intelligence and cunning way of thinking that differentiates his character from other badboy cliches. Aaaaaand I think the whole young spock/logic fight may have gone over ya head there, mate.

Oh I see...

We were only supposed to care about ships flying around in space blowing things up, The Cowboy saving the day and Riggs & Murtaugh being best buds by the final reel. Musta missed that memo. Thanks for clarifying.

And you're right. There's never been a film where the badboy hero displays a unique intelligence that has him overcome the villain in the end... Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr. certainly didn't build careers off of that premise.

JJ Abrams is probably the most overrated "talent" in hollywood now.

I hope to god he comes nowhere near the Spider-Man franchise. He doesn't have an original bone in his body.

Yeah creating a show about people being stranded on an island, with incredible depth of story isn't original at all. OR a huge monster attacking new york, seen through a civilians camera. He knows how to make things work. He takes general ideas of things, and makes them crazy interesting and good.

Really? Because in my head, a better way to play out that scene would have been to have Spock struggle in class with lower marks and have the other kids just deduce that he is unable to keep up due to his human side, very matter of factly as if its nothing to be ashamed of just a handicap, Spock then loses his temper and tries to fight them. His father, would in turn, give him advice that would make him a star pupil and by vulcan logic "overcome his handicap"

That would have been much better than, "Hey we're Vulcan's, a species that's above emotional problems, but not above bullying because we're racist" Seems pretty silly logic if you ask me.

Also, please don't feed me all this about this film being "Star Trek" until you've seen this link.

PS. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, I actually liked it. I'm just making some observations that I felt were obvious.

Incredible depth?

OR a huge monster attacking new york, seen through a civilians camera.

Woo hoo, motion sickness.

 

[McVenom]

Darren Aronofsky or Paul Thomas Anderson
just throwin it out there

 

[spidermilk]

I still would like to see Cameron take the helm. JJ's good but I don't think he would do it the justice someone like Jim could.

Second that... Although I do think Lost is overrated. Clover filed was cool but was easily taken from concepts such as Godzilla98 and the recent influx of handheld reality type feeling formats.
