I definately what to get the score

 

[Eggyman]

Stay excited lol. Glad to see the enthusiasm. The movement in this one even the web swinging like u mentioned, has a weight to it that I didn't think the last spidey had at all. One and two had moments but three sort of missed the boat. I said it before but this seems to b a very visceral movie at certain points just from a physical standpoint

I want to go to bed so tomorrow morning will come. But I won't. Be able. To sleep.

 

[Donut]

So the trailer score is good eh ? I will keep an eye out for it if I like it tomorrow

I want to go to bed so tomorrow morning will come. But I won't. Be able. To sleep.

I'm on four hours of sleep but as soon as I get home and get some food in my stomach I'll b wired and probably b up all night. The trailer really has me amped. That's a rare feeling now at least for me

I've done 5K of a new project today--I was amped to begin with. Now this. All that coffee was a mistake. I might give up sleep and work through the night until the trailer hits.

Anyone watch Eric Stiffler on Youtube?

Saw him on line today and felt star struck for some reason lmfao.

One part that was revealed by Josh Wilding on Twitter



So, yes, sounds like Van Atter (excuse me, Dr. Rafta) is not the Lizard's best friend.

I see. Perhaps he has something to do with COnnors' past?

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

I see. Perhaps he has something to do with COnnors' past?

My theory and it's just a theory since they didn't show anything to prove it, is that he works at oscorp and he and Connors may have had a few business run ins on funding or something similar and as the lizard he comes after him. From what I saw Connors is having trouble putting his formula together to create the serum so maybe he isn't performing the way the company wants him to

 

[Troy_Parker]

lol sounds like the MTV animated series version of the Lizard storyline, which I quite liked.

I actually thought of spec spidey in the way Osborn constantly berated Octavius and toomes, guys who worked for him and in his mind, weren't up to par

Back to formula?!

 

[Web face]

Can you see the Lizard's claws in the trailer?

Sounds plausible!

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

Can you see the Lizard's claws in the trailer?

Yup. They're huge. He rips trough cars, gashes Peter and grabs Peter with his tail

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

Back to formula?!

If I wasn't on my phone and could use a spoiler tag I'd tell u who helps complete the formula but you'll find out at 3am

 

[Web face]

Nice! Another question, does Spider-mans mask move when he quips?

 

[socool]

Nice! Another question, does Spider-mans mask move when he quips?

I can answer this!!

Yes.

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

Nice! Another question, does Spider-mans mask move when he quips?

Yeah you can definitely tell his mouth is moving and Andrew has great body movement to let u know he's clearly having fun

 

[Eggyman]

If I wasn't on my phone and could use a spoiler tag I'd tell u who helps complete the formula but you'll find out at 3am

I've heard lol.

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

I've heard lol.

Good you're ahead of the curve then. I like that addition personally and it makes sense character wise on several levels

 

[Eggyman]

Yeah, I was very pleased with that detail. If you're gonna connect the dots with any confidence, use a pen, not a blunt pencil. Makes it much clearer.

 

[AbsractPo3tic]

I agree. Don't be afraid just do it instead of hinting at it. Give the characters good motivations so that the end results hold more weight and it goes perfectly with the theme of the movie

We did get a cool shirt at the end, the one with the untold story poster

Footage Description:

http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/121/1218080p1.html

- Spidey, seemingly handcuffed, sits on the street while surrounded by SWAT officers. He's in his costume but unmasked, and suddenly lurches up with his spider-speed and takes out the cops in a feat of acrobatic aggression.

- Spider-Man, in a continuation of the scene we've seen before, has webbed a would-be car thief to a wall. But here, a cop (or someone?) is now present and attempts to fire his gun at the wallcrawler at point-blank range, with Spidey able to simply step out of the way of the bullets.

- Much of the action in the trailer and sizzle reel seemed to take place on a bridge, which any Spider-Man fan will tell you brings a very specific Gwen Stacy storyline to mind.

- The Lizard was definitely on display, but largely in fleeting glimpses. We see Dr. Connors (Ifans) as he injects himself with his genetic whatchamacallit shot, which results in a new arm growing right before his (and our) eyes. I didn't catch any footage of the huge reptile in his lab coat, but his tail definitely comes into play -- it's seen choking Spidey at one point, and also lurking behind our hero in another shot. There were also bits of the wallcrawler and the Lizard wrestling with one another as they plummeted underwater.

- The actor Irrfan Khan, who plays "Dr. Ratha" as far as we know, has been little seen up until now. But in the sizzle reel he's trapped in a car on that aforementioned bridge, with the Lizard trying to claw his way in to the vehicle to get him. (Why is the Lizard specifically interested in this guy, who was rumored to be the Proto-Goblin at one point? Hmmmm.)

- Also spotted on that bridge were some unfinished effects of a bunch of cars hanging from the structure thanks to Peter's webs. Generally, though shots like these were largely incomplete today, one gets the impression that this film could have a larger scope than the Sam Raimi movies, despite rumors to the contrary.

- Speaking of webs, Spider-Man's artificial web-shooters are very cool. They're high-tech, they glow briefly when he fires them, and the webs themselves look much more "realistic," if you will, than Raimi's plastic lines. I can't wait for the prop replicas of these web-spinners.

- Gwen Stacy appears to come to know who Peter really is during the course of this film, as during one intimate scene between them she talks about how her father would leave the house every morning and strap his gun and badge on. The implication would seem to be that Peter is kind of doing the same thing now as Spidey.

- A tense dinner conversation between Captain Stacy and Peter shows that the police see Spider-Man as a masked menace, with Peter retorting that maybe Spidey is just trying to do what the cops can't do. Captain Stacy does not care for this remark, to say the least.

- Spider-Man winds up with a fair amount of bruises and wounds at some point (thanks Lizard!), as does Peter (thanks Flash!).

- Does Spider-Man leave a graffiti "spider tag" around town? So it would seem.

- It may be that Dr. Connors blames Peter for his own failures in life. He tells Peter that he and Peter's dad were going to "change the world" with their scientific work, but somehow Peter brought an end to that. Did the elder Parker choose his family over his science? Is this why the Lizard and Spider-Man come to blows? Also, Peter helps Connors develop the formula that eventually turns him into the Lizard.

- Some of that battle will take place atop high-rise antenna/tower type structures, one of which Spider-Man brings tumbling down… almost on himself, in fact, as it falls directly towards the viewer in 3D. (Though generally speaking, the 3D sequences screened today were not that memorable.)

There were plenty other bits and pieces flying at us throughout this presentation, but that's the gist of it. The bottom line is this movie is looking better and better the closer we get to it. Like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, this is a new (cinematic at least) take on an old favorite. And it just might wind up being the superhero movie to beat this summer. Sorry, Avengers.

We did get a cool shirt at the end, the one with the untold story poster

Yeah and of course the shirt is too big for me which means it'll b a pajama shirt basically. Good experience tho. Lots of fun
