The Amazing Spider-Man Lower Your Expectations Now

[NinjaCarm]

If history has taught me anything, especially with movies, we should all lower our expectations now. I came to spidermanhype.com (before it was superherohype) to see anything new on Spider-Man.

What happened? I looked at too much, watched too much, and then came, for me, Sam Raimi's "all about a girl" Spider-Man vision, which did not meet my expectations at all. I admit, I enjoy his films, but they never felt like Spider-Man to me. The list could go on why, but that's not important.

What is important is we all should know better. This comes out 2012? Two years?

I'm expecting so much, from pitch perfect casting, different costume, better direction, better newer effects.... you name it. And I think it's all gonna happen after this debacle? The way this all went down?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the reboot. But you have to admit, under the circumstances, conditions, timeframe, and events that have transpired, it seems Sony will be like chickens with their heads off, scrambling to make what? Something that could just turn out plain disastrous.

So, I still want a reboot, but people lower them expectations now cause until I get something like a "we just hired James Cameron" positive vibe, I'm pretty leary.

I lowered my expectations after 20 minutes into the first Raimi's Spiderman.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

wow, more *****ing about Raimi, and now even the reboot you want so much!

 

[NinjaCarm]

I'm just saying what's in the back of everyone's head here. Everyone is leary.

James Cameron would make me not want to see it did you read the treatment he had for SM?

Not everyone Kemosabe.....

In my mind it would a breath of fresh air in this whole wierdness. But I understand. Perhaps something would give you, say your perfect Peter Parker being cast, a great sigh of relief.

Skeptical is probably the better word.

No matter how hard anyone tries they can't please everybody.

How far down should we lower our expectations?

 

[eledoremassis02]

I think some of the people on here who are "having problems" should make their own film.

 

[LightningFlash]

Lower your expectations?

Did we have to lower expectations with Nolan's version of Batman?

 

[LightningFlash]

Doubt post.

the director will be a studio pawn... you know that, i know that, everone knows that... if they wanted to go with the directors instincts... I don't know, they most likely would have kept the man who made 3 of the highest grossing movies of all time...

Spiderman is a brand... so, whatever they put out will make 100 mil, opening weekend, and gross over 250 mil in the US...

I'm just hoping they have a good script... because the director they get will most likely just go with that...

This to me smells like X-Men Origins: Wolverine all over again.

 

[spider-neil]

the most important things are the director and PP. so I'm going to keep an open mind until I see who they are.

Well everyone had high hopes for Gavin Hood because he was critically acclaimed.

Sony has made it clear what their tactics are.

If they wanted to go with the directors instincts... I don't know, they most likely wouldn't have forced Venom into SM3 (directed byu the guy who made 3 of the highest grossing movies of all time).

I doubt my expectations could get any lower. Right now, I'm with chase. Sony is becoming FOX, and this is Wolverine all over again. Everyone loves Vanderbilt. Just like everyone did Benioff. We may get the director of 500 Days of Summer, which people liked. People also liked the Gavin Hood pick based on his filmography. But, he was a small timer FOX could control. Sony looks to be doing the same.

We're getting the next Wolverine in all likelihood. I've seen this movie before, and the ending sucked. Unfortunate I feel this way, but it is the way I feel.

 

[spider-neil]

it doesn't matter how muh the new movies suck I'll always have SM2

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I never liked Raimi's vision so I'm thrilled at the prospect of new possibilities.

I will adjust my expectations after they announce the actors and director, then again when they release the trailer.

Worked for Iron Man.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

This could be the next X3 or the next Iron Man. It simply depends on the script and the talent of the director. Both are unknowns at this point so there's no reason to be overly pessimistic. Why not be cautiously optimistic?

Gavin Hood comparison is a great one Gavin hood was critically acclaimed he won A Foreign Language Film Oscar for his 2005 film Tsotsi

and we know how that turned out lol

Because Sony ain't Marvel. Marvel has a vision of what they want to do, sure. But, they have given their directors the freedom to explore the characters their way also. Plus, Marvel knows these characters very well, since they are THEIR characters. Here, Sony is dictating MAJOR plot points and charater additions, like FOX. Not just Avengers cameos and such in an attempt to create a large universe.

Sony wouldn't give creative freedom to a man that made them BILLIONS! Why would they for someone else? I don't expect them to. I expect this to be more like a point and shoot filmed movie, and we'll see the next ADD/FOX style comic book film with the Spider-Man name.

I'll withhold my expectation until they've announce the name of the director and the actors who will play Parker/Spider-man, but right now I have a hard time believing that this reboot will make the 2012 release date.
