The Amazing Spider-Man Marc Webb to return?

[chaseter]

it depends the director....

They now need to go for an established director. If it's another newb or someone awful like Tarsem or McG then I will beat it down until they reboot again or lose the rights.

I agree with the first part. Get a guy who's worked with it before if you're going to replace Webb. I'd prefer they didn't but if you must, give me someone with some juice behind his name

For getting rid of caricatures and cheese as the main ingredient of a spider-movie. Plots left for sequles is a pretty old idea that virtually every superhero movie directopr uses.

JJJ is a caricature first off in the comics. If you want to see him as a truly evil and vitriolic newsman then go watch Fox News or MSNBC and leave Spider-Man to others.

Cheese huh. This movie had no cheese?

Plots left for sequels isn't new but dropping the main plots like parents and main characters disappearing 60 minutes into the movie is bad filmmaking.

Bravo Marc Webb huh?

Lol I'm still saying Brad Bird but who knows. That's my vote which I'm sure means jack and s*** to them lol

I am, indeed, talking about the first comics where JJJ has a reason to hate Spider-man other than being the caricature of a grumpy editor.

"Truly evil and vitriolic" would be another caricature.

I seem to remember I said "cheese as the MAIN ingredient."

Yes, I did.

It's the same thing with a different name so - this only time - it looks bad.

Bravo Marc Webb huh?

Bravo indeed.

Hell no! It's like how people treat Rocksteady. Just because they were successful with one superhero franchise (both being Batman) doesn't mean they'll automatically be as successful with another. Plus, Spider-Man doesn't seem to be something Nolan would want to direct. He probably agreed to go with Batman because he could pull out the fantasy and super natural elements, while in Spider-Man you can't.

There were more of those elements originally. You can tell by just looking at the trailers. But I bet Sony edited them out because of the length of the movie. It was already one of the longest Spider-Man movies (behind only SM3.). Plus, Marc Webb is a director who focuses more on character development and interaction, so it probably was mainly "talking scenes" they cut out, so the movie could get to the action faster.

I think Marc Webb did a fantastic job with this movie but, if he doesn't returns, I would go for the Brad Bird route AbsractPo3tic said earlier. That guy is just amazing.

Word..he clearly understands the genre, has a love for superheroes and can do character and action. I think he'd be a great choice. Of course with Orci and Kurtzman being the writers and exec producers, there's always the chance they could convince Abrams to do it

 

[Smegger56]

I hope it's not true about Webb.

And on Raimi, I love his Evil Dead films. I think he is a talented film maker. BUT, IMO, his spidey films are just, overall, average. With great bits in them.

I'd love to know who came up with the idea for sandman killing Ben? Who's idea was it of Ock to have tentacles that talked to him? Who's idea was it for that 'dance' scene in SM-3? Or the 'rain drops' scene? Who's idea was it for Gwen and MJ to be basically one characeter (and a poor one too IMO) and then bring in a poorly done cameo of someone who looks like Gwen? Who's idea was it to have spidey ALWAYS rescue MJ at the end of every film? Who's idea was it for to have some of the most boring scenes between Pete and MJ?

TASM may not have been perfect. Anyone can see it does have issues. BUT, in terms of tone, how they dealt with the characters, the emotion that it had, for me, it more than validated Webbs return to the chair

Neither

Chris Nolan's stories tend to lean more toward pretend realism, Batman worked for him in a bit of a convincing way, and it was better how most of the villains he chose could be worked with cutting down obvious fantasy elements like Lazarus Pit with Ra's AlGhul, removing the vat of acid from Joker's story, and the venom with Bane.
Spider-Man wouldn't do as good, cause the more realistic villains won't do as good against a guy as strong as he is

As for Whedon, he should work more with Marvel studios, I think he'd work more charm in that universe than he would on a Sony movie

Not on the scale of Raimi's films, IMO.

That's the point I was trying to make earlier but you did it better than I did. If you want to blame anyone for spider-man 3, blame both parties involved. This civil war of who's fault it was is silly at this point, especially since it's 2012

What about David Yates? He directed the last Harry Potter movies, so he knows how to do action and can also get performances out of characters. Harry Potter And The Half Blood Price was primarily a character driven movie, and it received acclaim. The last one was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of last year. He could also create the same tone, since the last HP movies balanced darkness and upbeat moments.

I don't think Whedon wants to for real. He came out at comic con and said that he loves the characters but he can't see himself doing too many projects that aren't his original projects. A lot of guys just prefer to work on their own original ideas

Yates or Alfonso Cauron would be dope choices.

Better call up Stan Lee and tell him he got JJJ wrong. Stan even states JJJ is a caricature.

"Truly evil and vitriolic" would be another caricature.

What's Ratha in this movie but a caricature? What about Norman? Both caricatures with no development what so ever...boiled down to the most generic form of a character.

I seem to remember I said "cheese as the MAIN ingredient."

What Spider-Man comics were you reading? That's like someone calling for a serious and grounded movie.

It's the same thing with a different name so - this only time - it looks bad.

Oh ok so making his parents his entire motivation for every thing he did in the first half of the movie and then not mentioning them the rest of the movie is great sequel bait! Ratha, the antagonist that drives the villain's motivations disappears in the first act! Sequel bait! The most powerful scene in the movie where Peter rejects Gwen after her father died in his arms and made him promise to leave her is undone 5 minutes later with an awful and corny scene meant to illicit a positive response to end the movie. Sequel bait right!?

Bravo indeed.

Indeed. Bravo for the D effort according to critics and apparently the studio.

 

[spider-neil]

That is a crying shame. I love the slow pace of the movie and the somber tone. We've HAD light and fluffy. This could be a disaster.

 

[Marvel Spider]

This isn't even confirmed yet.

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

That is a crying shame. I love the so pace of the movie and the somber tone. We've HAD light and fluffy. This could be a disaster.

I don't know if they'll go light and fluffy. Changing tones like that so quickly is silly. You've already set the world up in one way and that wasn't something it seems critics had an issue with, at least not overall. I think they want a guy with a better grip on action really, but that's my guess
