Holy mother of freaking god. New footage. In french, but that's okay.

[YT]rVSts3SV7Gw[/YT]

Not that much though. 2 seconds.

 

[SpeterMan3]

Pretty cool, though.

 

[Perry9]

I need a picture a Spider-man doing that backflip.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

I hope the trailer music the use is actually in the film. I love that first song.

 

[JOE]

TeeKay loved the film even without the score. It's going to send us on a feels trip to Feelington.

WHO????

Spoiler

New thread....lets keep his name out of it. At least in regards to the movie.

Spiderman 2 had a great score. I loved the classical music in it. ASM's score wasn't that great so I'm hoping all the stuff we've heard is Hans Zimmer and Pharrell.

 

[SM71]

Is it weird that I'm already excited for TASM3?

nope

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I was more excited for the sequels than I was for TASM 1.

 

[FN Spider-man]

I hope they do a tasm director's cut

 

[JOE]

I hope it leaves the same feeling SM2 left with us. Dying to find out what happens next.

 

[SpideyK]

Wow. The swing at 0:16.

Now that's some Bagley ****, right of the page. Freakin' awesome.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I hope they do a tasm director's cut

According to Webb, he made the cuts that resulted in the final product, so...technically we have a director's cut already.

It's possible we'd get an extended or alternate version like an ASM 1.1, but I doubt it.

 

[Morbius]

I was more excited for the sequels than I was for TASM 1.

I was far more excited for TASM than SM2 etc, as I just had no idea what we were in for. This was one of the first pictures id seen for the reboot, when I bought an issue of Total Film. I love everything about this picture - the expression, the form, the practicality of the scene

 

[UltimateWebhead]

My anticipation for ASM2 is off the charts. I'm not watching any more new footage being released so I don't know if that's making it better or worse, lol. I can't imagine being more excited for this movie than I already am.

 

[FN Spider-man]

Man can may just come already march feels too far away

aww man just three weeks away from april awwww

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

SM2 had a great theme because Elfman was doing it. Elfman does themes better than Zimmer honestly. Zimmer's good but Elfman's Batman theme & BTAS theme > Nolan series.

 

[FN Spider-man]

I didnt care for elfman's spidey theme but his batman theme takes the cake

That french tv-spot further up on the page. My god, it looks so damn good. And the FX-work! You just can't/shouldn't complain. I KNOW that namely SM2 & 3 pushed the barrier for FX for its time. But it's clear to me that this one takes it even further. It really looks incredible! And Raimis SM2 and 3 never had Spidey move or even look as graceful as in this here TASM2. Spideys acrobatics in this very sequel is without a question the best ever to grace the silver screen. And visually it looks absolutely gorgeous.

And once again, I feel the need to stress this here fact: I still to this day like Raimis original Spiderman film. The best word I can choose to describe it is actually with the word "cute". That's seriously how I feel about it. Raimis SM2 is still pretty great. It's the only spiderman film to date that I think hits marks of some epic proportions. It's a good film, with a nice balanced story. One that felt pretty superior to its predecessor in almost every way. I won't comment on the third film.

That being said. I (now) strongly believe that Webbs TASM2 could, well, pretty damn easily come in from above and squash Raimis Spider-Man 2. Seriously, it wouldn't be that hard. In todays world of superhero films, more is expected, and I ain't talking about action. We want more complex films. We want more complex characters, more exciting and not too predictable stories being told. I think that TASM2 will give us this. And I simply believe that this film will have more brains than "the holy grail", being SM2. I'm not locking anything down here. But the more I see of this film and the more that I hear, the more I believe that this film will be rich on character-developement, and rich in story and complexity. And the whole team behind this whole flick is just so_damn_strong!! - I'm excited.

 

[TheLastBlade]

Speaking of the Raimi series.... Still didn't watch 2.... Too busy with life Watched enough of the first one. Even as a kid, I thought it was meh. I did encounter 2 once, but I didn't take it seriously enough to form an opinion.

Wow. That's just funny. Cause for me, I think Zimmer kills Elfman in practically every way possible.

That's just another way of saying that opinions definitely vary. I know you're not alone in digging Elfman, and that's cool. But I've never been too fond of him my self. I always thought his music was best described as being sorta like a coca-cola gone flat. I do think his batman theme IS memorable though, and I also kinda think that one is a better fit for a batman theme, yes. But all in all, I'm really not a fan of his. And namely his spiderman theme felt so not spiderman to me. It all felt so underwhelming.

Just simply Zimmers thoughts & observations about how he wants Spiderman to be "playful" (cause he is a playful superhero in nature), and how Zimmer thought long and hard about what kind of music a teenage-superhero like Peter would actually listen to, is brilliant. And I'll be honest, I never my self thought about that stuff - and obviously, neither did Elfman back in the days.

I think Zimmer will deliver the absolute best soundtrack to a spiderman film to date, and I feel so blessed that he decided to do TASM2! He is, in my mind & ears, the best damn composer since John Williams.
