Thought I'd chime in as I haven't often posted about Spider-Man, I don't like the new costume as much as the old one but it's grown on me, I particularly like how the spider and the weblines flow into each other. Very cool detail. I do also feel it offers Peter a bit more protection.

The dance scene is cheesy. I already said it whent on for too long, what part of that don't you understand?
Good boy, I wanted you to say that it was cheesy, you're not that hard to potty train after all. It didn't go on for too long, it shouldn't have been in the film at all. A smart director would have known this.

LOL, you're actually comparing Batman & Robin to ifilms? You have every right to think that, but I can't tell you how many people disagree with you. Spider-Man get extrmely positive reviews, Spider-Man 2 got critical acclaim, and Spider-Man 3 got mixed reviews. Now, if you still don't get this, then clearly you're just being your usual self. Raimi threw some of his humour in there, what's wrong with that? He was acclaimed for Spider-Man 2 for knowing how to tell a great story while throwing in new ideas. Hell, he didn't even bring a lot of his usual attributues to the SPider-Man films in order to tell a good story.
I'm not comparing it to Batman & Robin, just pointing out that a director who doesn't know how to control his cheese (knowing when seriousness/humor begins and ends within the context of the film) is the main reason we have so many mediocre comic book films today. Reviews and movie critics, really? I guess we are a society that doesn't think for ourselves. I choose to draw my own conclusions. I saw way too much of Raimi's attributes in these films. Creatively, it's what killed them for me.

So, you don't want there to be any mild jokes at all? You want a dark and serious over tone with blood and people shivering. PICK UP A DAMN COMIC BOOK. JJJ struts out of his office rambling on and on in the old comics. That can come off as cheesy, but it works. Thanks for proving my point once more. You're a typical bandwagon fan who thinks he knows what he's talking about, when he truly doesn't. You have the right to hate his movies, but to act like YOU know what's best for a Spider-Man movie when you've clearly proven you don't, you shouldn't comment. Why? Because people won't take you serious.
JJJ shouldn't be joking when he's about to put Green Goblin in the newspaper for the first time, right after Green Goblin just finished murdering several people in cold blood. That's a serious moment, that shouldn't be met by childish antics and fart jokes. Which you and Sam Raimi just don't seem to comprehend.

Btw, Evil Dead has a massive following and has influenced people. Once again, I doubt you know this.
Yet, it's still goofy and cheesy for a so-called horror movie, cult following and all, my point still stands.

I didn't see any Spider-Mobile in the movie. Why? Because that would have come off as corny. The crew knew better than to add that in the movie and if if they were approached about it, do you actually think they would do that?
Yet they didn't know better to NOT put a scene where Peter is dancing like a moron in heat.

I bet you're also saying the Green Goblin's costume should have been different. First off, they couldn't do it due to budget issues and second, you do understand that Stan Lee INTENDED for the Green Goblin to look goofy, right? That's who that era of comics were. That's what sam Raimi's Spider-man films were somewhat based off of and they were praised.
No, I'd say Green Goblin as a character should have been handled better on screen. Very weak and hammy performance. As Spider-Man's #1 A List villain, he should have been written a hell of a lot better. Even the way he killed those Oscorp members came off corny as hell (From Men 2 Cartoon Bones) ahh...the drama. We deserve better quality for Spider-Man's villains and stories. Well, at least he didn't turn good like Doctor Octopus.

Now, yeah, you don't have to include these things, but if that's what the director wants to do, then so be it.

and you speak of Sam Raimi as if you know how to be a director. You're just another internet fanboy that claims to know the movie buisness. You know no more than I do a about the movie buisness. Pick up a camera, learn how to direct, get involved with a movie buisness and then actually say something. Throwing your words out like they are fact about the movie buisness while typing in your own home is funny and pathetic.
But isn't that what the movie critics do (whom seem to like) because they praise these mediocre movies. So I guess their words are not fact that the movies are great. Since you care so much about the words they write, because it's to your liking. Yet, they have never picked up a camera to direct a film either. Why should I?

And how do you know the humour was meant for children? Let me guess, you think Peter hurting his back was cheesy, right? There are PLENTY of moments in the comics these days that come off as cheesy. There's a reason the film was critically acclaimed. There's a reason John Romtia Sr, John Romita Jr, and plenty of other artists and writers loved the first 2 movies. Why? Because they stayed faithful with some things while doing a new twist on it. It's called interpretation of the character. Doesn't mean you have to like it, but you shouldn't throw your words around like they are fact and think that you know this or that. You don't.
Come on, kids saying cute things like "Okay Mr. Spider-Man" and talking about eating your "Green Vegetables," it's written for kids--open your eyes. And are you really that naive, you're talking about Marvel hired guns, what are they going to say about the movie, "yeah the movie sucked." Why would I care about what Marvel employees think about Marvel movies. Geez, I wonder if Warner Bros. employees liked the crap movie Green Lantern.

So what if Sam Raimi wanted it to be as light as the comics? What's the big deal? isn't that what fanboys want? And yeah, you could go mature, but why not stick to the comics? The film felt mature enough. And once again, if it bothers you, so be it, but stop being hypocritical.
Again, you're not listening, the movie shouldn't be light as the comics where serious subject matters are concerned. Green Goblin killing people is serious, unless you don't think cold-blooded murderers are something a newspaper should take seriously.

My ovrall point is this, yes, you can say that you don't need evertyhing from the comics, but the stuff that was adapted fit into that world that Sam created. it's just that simple. Now, whether you liked it or not is all you and I can't change that and I have no right to try.
Okay, overall I don't like the world Sam created for Spider-Man. It's simplistic, juvenile, inconsistent, corny, cheesy, watered down and overly happy-go-lucky where it need not be.

So says the guy who gets banned from a search engine.

I'm done here, man. Seriously, it's a waist of time. Tell me how you would do a Spider-Man film though. I'm actually very curious and not in a mean way.
Wait a minute, you just said I'm not a film maker, so I'm afraid I cannot share my thoughts on how to make a Spider-Man film.

You wanted me to say it, yet, I still enjoyed it. It's cheesy, and maybe it whent on a little too long, but it was enjoyable. Potty train? oh man, you truly are crazy. Stop being self absorbed, ever consider that? Guess what? I still thought SPider-Man 3 was good regardless of the dance scene.

I'm not comparing it to Batman & Robin, just pointing out that a director who doesn't know how to control his cheese (knowing when seriousness/humor begins and ends within the context of the film) is the main reason we have so many mediocre comic book films today.

Creatively, it's what killed them for me.
Wait, stop right there. How do you know raimi used all of his techniques? He didn't and that's another reason I don't think you've seen his other films. for example, his camera techniques weren't liek in Eivl Dead and neither were the weird querky moments like in Evil Dead. You're blowing so many things out of proportion. Why? because you hate Sam Raimi. There was only a little comedy in his films over all, especially the first 2. And the comedy worked for most people! JJJ, Peter beign over confident in S-M2, etc. What part of that do you ont understand? There's a reason comic book films are what's IN now. And Spider-man is what pushed it foward whether you want to admit that or not.

Doesn't think to ourselves? Oh please, I'm just as against people using critics opinions for there own as the next person. However, The FACT is that the majority of people who have reviewd the first 2 films have called them fantastic. Majority = more than people who dislike them

JJJ shouldn't be joking when he's about to put Green Goblin in the newspaper for the first time, right after Green Goblin just finished murdering several people in cold blood. That's a serious moment, that shouldn't be met by childish antics and fart jokes. Which you and Sam Raimi just don't seem to comprehend.
Which all the more proves you don't know the JJJ character. In the early days, he'd want it on the fornt page immediately. He was a fast talker! Childish antics and fart jokes? Oh you have no idea how much you are in the minority with how you feel about Sam Raimi. You'd get eaten alive by the horror community if you bashed Raimi in front of them. Hell, I'm part of the community.

Yet, it's still goofy and cheesy for a so-called horror movie, cult following and all, my point still stands.
What point? It's a dark comedy horror film. Stephen King loved it. Wes Craven loved it. All the gods of horror loved it, so tell me again how Evil Dead is stupid?

Yet they didn't know better to NOT put a scene where Peter is dancing like a moron in heat.
It was meant to show what the symbiote has done to him. As far as I'm concerned, we were suppsoed to dislike him strutting because that's not who he is. Yes, it was a bit over the top but it did not ruin the movie. Why? Because I'm willing to embrace SOME change

No, I'd say Green Goblin as a character should have been handled better on screen. Very weak and hammy performance. As Spider-Man's #1 A List villain, he should have been written a hell of a lot better. Even the way he killed those Oscorp members came off corny as hell (From Men 2 Cartoon Bones) ahh...the drama. We deserve better quality for Spider-Man's villains and stories. Well, at least he didn't turn good like Doctor Octopus.
It's a comic book movie. Get used to it. Sure, Goblin murdered people differnetly in the comics, but then again, Raimi stated his Spider-Man is in a comic book/fantasy world. Also, how was the performance bad? Willem Dafoe is a very talented actor who chose the role for a damn good reason. What about blowing up that trolly thing or whatever? or blowing up the general and those test pilots?

Doc Ock had a sympathetic side but it was molded with his menacing attitude from the comic books, just so you know. THAT is how you make a comic book film your own. And that's why so many people praise molina's character as well. I think you're in denial.


But isn't that what the movie critics do (whom seem to like) because they praise these mediocre movies. So I guess their words are not fact that the movies are great. Since you care so much about the words they write, because it's to your liking. Yet, they have never picked up a camera to direct a film either. Why should I?
It's their opinion. They state it as there opinion. You, on the other hand, state yours as though it's fact. Simple as that.

Come on, kids saying cute things like "Okay Mr. Spider-Man" and talking about eating your "Green Vegetables," it's written for kids--open your eyes. And are you really that naive, you're talking about Marvel hired guns, what are they going to say about the movie, "yeah the movie sucked." Why would I care about what Marvel employees think about Marvel movies. Geez, I wonder if Warner Bros. employees liked the crap movie Green Lantern.
It fit the tone of the Spider-Man character himself. People look up to him, men women, and children. it's been expressed in the comics, my friend. The Boy Who Collected Spider-Man is a perfect example if you read comic books. Or, is that too cheesy for you as well?

John Romita jr. said he wasn't 100% pleased with Spider-Man 3, so there goes your point about them being forced to say something.

Again, you're not listening, the movie shouldn't be light as the comics where serious subject matters are concerned. Green Goblin killing people is serious, unless you don't think cold-blooded murderers are something a newspaper should take seriously.
But it should if you want to stay true to the comics, which is what so many people on here seem to b**** about. And from what I remember, they did take it seriously. So what, they didn't focus on the deaths for 45 minutes, but it was acknowledged in the paper Osborn read when talking in the mirror. It was acknowledged.

Okay, overall I don't like the world Sam created for Spider-Man. It's simplistic, juvenile, inconsistent, corny, cheesy, watered down and overly happy-go-lucky where it need not be.
Then I guess overall, you don't like certain aspects of the original Spider-Man that Stan Lee created. Yes, there were changes in the movies, but the were more similarities than people want to acknowledge. There's a reason people praised Raimi from 2002-2007. I was here, I saw it.

Like I said, nobody is saying you have to like it. I think TDk is overrated, but I know I'm in the minority.

Wait a minute, you just said I'm not a film maker, so I'm afraid I cannot share my thoughts on how to make a Spider-Man film
Your digging yourself a hole even deeper.


I really don't feel like argueing anymore. You can have your opinion , and rant all you want. Just don't expect everybody to agree with what you're saying.

Yes it is, according to the guys who own his copyrights on the suit, MARVEL. They love changing Spider-Man's suit in the comics and giving the thumbs up for doing so in the movies, amongst other interpretations.

I've never seen the suit reinterpreted in the books. It's only just changed for this film. The director probably thinks he can do better.

The audience will always accept a new suit if you deliver a film that they like/love. You could change Batman's suit in the third film and no one would give a sh-- if it delivers the goods.

What is the audience going to do in your mind, I'm curious to know, are they going protest the movie because the suit is 15% changed from the original? Sorry, but the general audience simply don't care like we do, especially if that upcoming trailer is great. And fanboys are showing up regardless, so I don't even count them.

It's really weird how you continue to use the Bat suit as the precedence in your argument when it really has no relevance here. I've already explained the reasoning behind why the batsuit was more easily accepted by the general public. There is literally no correlation between the altering of costumes between that franchise and the current Spider-man one. As it stands, the new spider suit will just put it into ppl's heads that this is just some cheap knock off spider-man film, lol. Bear in mind, they may still like the film, just not the suit.
 
It's fine to dislike the previous movies. That's someone's opinion. But, what I don't get are these same people packing up their entire house and moving it Marc Webb's backyard to set up an altar. Bashing Sam Raimi for awful directing but donating all their worldly possessions to make a fanboy pilgrimage to see where Marc Webb made his only movie he has ever made. What are these people going to do if they don't like this movie?

The fact of the matter is, without Sam Raimi, we wouldn't even be getting this film. Sam Raimi did more for this character than any of could have ever dreamed of. At least be thankful for that. If all the critics and the fans felt the same way some of you do, no one would give a **** about Spider-Man and he would remain in cartoons and comics.

People saw the webshooters and got fanatical...forgetting that when the pics came out for Raimi's first one we had a webshooter shot
 
And you seem to be forgetting that there were no webshooters in Raimi's first film...
 
And you seem to be forgetting that there were no webshooters in Raimi's first film...

um originally there were mechanical webshooters....early pics had Peter working on mechanical webshooters
 
um they didn't show up in the movie...


People are fanatical about these webshooters because they're actually in the film.

Very very very well said. :up:
 
What are you guys not getting about the fact that web shooters were not in the film? I'm missing the disconnect here.
 
All we're saying is that the web-shooters were there early on, but were taken out. That's it.
 
There WAS web-shooters in a early trailer for the movie.


go to 50 seconds in the trailer I put up. When he is shooting his webs in his room he clearly has two web shooters on his wrists. Unless you believe he wears two watches.


[YT]FN3YaybNJ2s[/YT]

in fact look at the desk and you'll see he has bracelet type things on it

Just because you see something in the early pics of the movie doesnt mean its gonna end up in the final product
 
You guys are not getting my argument. Roach made a comment about how people were so crazy and gaga about the webshooters for this film but were "forgetting that when the pics came out for Raimi's first one we had a webshooter shot". My point is, people are happy about webshooters actually being in this film. Believe it or not, Raimi doesn't deserve credit for every single thing that happens in this film.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the original plan was to have Peter create a mechanical device to streamline his organic webbing. But I can't remeber where I read it or if it's entirely true.

I wasnt giving Raimi credit for anything in this film...i dont know how you came to that conclusion.

Let me work it out for you

You are praising the new movie for having the webshooters

I mention thats not a given since the Raimi movie had webshooters in the trailers.
 
Just because you see something in the early pics of the movie doesnt mean its gonna end up in the final product

Are you simply making a point or suggesting that Peter may not use webshooters in TAS-M?
