The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume - Part 1

Especially when it really wasn't even Raimi but Arad that trainwrecked the franchise. Just like how the one producer at Fox destroyed X-Men because she preferred Jean to be with Wolverine.

Wasn't that only the third film though? I think when Chaseter mentions the people hating on Raimi, it's the people who hated his overall vision. Basically just about everything in his films, not just the third film.

Yeah, I don't visit this board enough to know that split of Raimi love vs hate. Probably based on my love for the first two and loathe of the third I assumed that was a consensus view here. Are there a lot of people on here that hate Raimi across the whole series?

 

[craigdbfan]

Yeah, many.

 

[The Batman]

.....I kinda wish they just used an accurate version of the black symbiote outfit...there was a time he wore that design and it was just spandex.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Well I hate Raimi for what he did to Peter P/Spider Man's character and power, MJ, and for that stupid movie called Spider-Emo movie ( How could he let that happened...If I were him, I would DO something with it!). Thats all, rest of the whole series is pretty good. Love action scenes like train and final swing... always craved for more of them. So on.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Right now I am kinda scared for this movie. IDK why, just have a bad feeling like spider sense...

 

[Hole Shot]

Well I hate Raimi for what he did to Peter P/Spider Man's character and power, MJ, and for that stupid movie called Spider-Emo movie

I might get shot here for this, but I actually was kind ok with the "Emo" sequence for as much as I wasn't a fan of the film overall. And here's why, and probably has a lot to do with my some hate Raimi's take on the series in the general. The whole series has a silly never really taking itself too seriously tone to it. And that emo sequence was them basically parodying the Rain Drops sequence from 2. Now the rest of the time Peter was dark and angry was pretty lame.

You are implying (intentionally or not) that Raimi paints with very simplistic strokes when it comes to his character development (or lack therefore of). His characters come off as very simplistic almost as caricatures of themselves. They lack depth or "greys" if you will, they are simply black or white.

Raimi goes overboard to the point of HITTING you over the head with his direction. Instead of showing us a complex Peter that (yes is a nerd or dorky at TIMES) he goes overboard and Peter is NOTHING but a clutz. Or IN LOVE with ONE girl to the point of codependency, etc. OR, his "Dark Peter" comes off as Emo pathetic Parker, as opposed to truely dark.

Raimi's approach is as subtle as a sledgehammer in character development (pity the JJ caricature) to his use of cheesy moments (at critical times). :

It is refreshing to see a better Director in Webb have a turn at giving us Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

And yes, if he blows it, I will be just as critical if NOT more. But here's hoping and praying he does not... "blow it".

 

[Marvin]

no wonder they prepared a well lite mask-less photo of the costume just showing the chest early...if some of these reebok spidey spy pics got loose it would have been bad news and that's undeniable.

I hope webb really shows the character in this film, that's one thing that puts spiderman 2 miles ahead of the dark knight.

Well said. And well written,.... while we're on the subject. I have high hopes.

they shouldve gone with bigger and rounder eyes methinks. to me thats what the biggest fault of theis costume is. they eyes just look stupid. make them almost round and embiggen them twice the size and youve got a perfect costume!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Are there a lot of people on here that hate Raimi across the whole series?

Yes, and it's quite sad because some of them used to praise Raimi to no end before S-M3.

Well said. I don't understand how some people accept Raimi's cheese and cookie cutter characters, especially Peter Parker. Barf.

Again, well said.

 

[shinlyle]

More than likely ALL of them were praising Raimi before Spider-Man 3, and more than likely ALL of them undoubtedly have all three DVDs sitting on there shelves.

I just find it hilarious, as I have since SM3 came out, that people who used to praise parts 1 and especially part 2 (which was borderline perfect Spidey), ha racanted saying that they really weren't aware of how horrible the first two films were until the internet told them.


That being said, I truthfully am hoping for a good film. If I were judging the movie based off of the costume, I'd be hating on it as hard as "Batman & Robin". Honestly, this costume is two nipples shy of being that bad. However, a great cast and a solid sript could make me not care. I though the "Dark Knight" costume was too much, as well, but the movie made me forget about the "Bat-Armor" and move on. They still can't make me forget about the over-doing it with the bat-growl, though....

Exactly. It's all part of a stupid bandwagon. It's funy how whenever we say this, they never respond.

Not everybody critisizing Raimi's movies were praising them before SM3. I never liked the first one and, as good as SM2 is (amongst my favourites of the genre), I can say one or two things against it.

Thing is I never cared about coming here just to vent and I always focused more in liking what I liked instead of disliking what I didn't. I spent 2 weeks in the SM3 forums though, complaining about it. Then I left and didn't come here too often.

It wasn't until the reboot news that I started coming here regularly.

To me, the biggest fault of this suit are the gloves. Some might think it's a small detail, but I hate those dumb gloves with the blue fingers. I keep being drawn to those and can't stand them.

Anyone else bothered by them?

Well said. While I certainly like alot of things in the old Spidey movies, there are also alot that I absolutely hate in them and I hope that Webb & Sony have learned what to do and what not to do in this reboot.

 

[Ken-Kaniff]

tried to make the suit look more like it could look in the film

It is a cool picture. I guess we'll have to jerk off on this one until we get some official pics...it will do for now.

I love the previous movies(yes even 3, albeit alot less than S2), but I agree with everything you just said. Thing is, Raimi got the perfect suit and look spot on for Spidey, Doc Ock and even Sandman, but he screwed up on the characters. Though I enjoyed the fresh take he gave to each one, the fact is, id that he completely ignored the aspects of the characters that made them so popular and liked in the comics and turned each one into a sympathetic *****bag, "I need to do this", "I have nothing left" etc. etc.

This time around, I'm hoping that we get the villains just as we knew them from the comics onto the Big Screen.

Oh yeah?!?! Well....I...

Sorry. I was looking at your avatar pic, which is awesome.

Anyways, yeah, there were a FEW that I can say actually hated all along, but I don't see many of the more vehement ones around. I do see a lot of people who were all about some Raimi now hatng on him. It's just annoying how quickly public opinion completely flips...and the internet is like a flap-jack in that respect. It flips almost hourly.

A good amount. Some of which are people who used to like his films, but jumped on the hate bandwagon in anticipation for this version. You know how it is with certain fanboys, they love something and will drop it like an old toy for the new thing.

 

[shinlyle]

Well said. While I certainly like alot of things in the old Spidey movies, there are also alot that I absolutely hate in them and I hope that Webb & Sony have learned what to do and what not to do in this reboot.

I think one of main main fears reflected by this costume is simply this: Sony HAD TO make a new Spidey movie, or the rights would have reverted back to Marvel/Disney. Raimi wouldn't budge on the Vulture issue, which led to them parting ways....whatever. So, they rush together a movie and hope for the best? I hope this is not the case.

The costume looks really rushed. I personally would have loved to just see the classic suit (Raimi version), but maybe with some tweaks here and there. Maybe more black than blue (like in SM2), and maybe have the belt drop down at a sharper angle, some bigger eyes, and then the more slender Peter Parker would have made the costume look even more different.

I'm just worried that, in the rush to get a movie out to keep the rights to characters, that the movie studios (I'm really looking at Fox in regards to X-Men as well) are rushing out anything they can.
