I love the swinging in that scene, but I roll my eyes every time I see the crane dad in the crane, so stupid that they put him in there, and the weird dramatic shot of the other crane operator. cut those two bits out and it'd be a thousand times better.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I love the shot of the crane operator. Just the look in his eyes, with him at a complete loss for words. It's probably the first time they see Spider-Man swing like that.

Cool, but why does Spidey need them then, if he can swing regardless? I like the concept behind it -the dad's gratefulness, that's very poignant- but the execution was lacking a bit in the logic department, at least in my eyes. But I guess the people who like it really like it... and I do love moments like that in other films myself, so it's not like I want them to refrain from sappy stuff.

Well, he just fought a giant lizard, got tazed, swung into a building at like 30 mp/h, and fell on to a fire escape.

He was obviously pretty destroyed by the time he got on top of the final building.

Also, Webb really inteded for physics to apply to the first movie's universe, so even if he wasn't hurt, he would still need the cranes to swing. Swinging with the webs attatched to buildings on your side, simply doesn't work in the real world (which Webb was going for).

Luckily Webb changed it up for TASM2. That real world stuff was boring.

I still want physics.

Daredevil anyone?

I am really glad it went more like the comic books in tone.

The colors and camera shots in this film look so amazing and like a comic book. I loved TASM though. I'm just glad we're getting a more comic book tone.

It was (in my opinion) the right thing to do. I mean.. look at this shot:

It looks like something straight out of a comic book page. ( I know it's been replaced by the newer manhole shot but my point is it's the perfect tone and look for Spider-man)

I get the feeling that we wouldn't have shots like this with the realistic tone.

 

[SpideyK]

I'm happy he got rid of the realistic physics, as well. I could definitely appreciate them, but I didn't exactly love them.

The swinging in ASM2 is the swinging both Spidey and his fans deserves.

 

[Nemeres]

The colors and camera shots in this film look so amazing and like a comic book.

I love the visual style of the film. You've got Spidey's reds and blues, the city's and GG's greens, Electro's light blues and purples... not to mention a continuously clear sky. It looks very lively, like a fun world to belong to. Very fitting for the Spider-Man character. I would have killed to see the same vibe applied to Superman. Sigh.

I wonder if TASM 3, if it takes place under the glumness caused by [BLACKOUT]Gwen's death[/BLACKOUT], will tone that down a bit, à la TDKR (probably not so intensely).

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

What real world physics are you guys referring too?

This swinging in ASM was mostly great, especially the final swing.



I really liked the change of tone. It makes sense for him to be Spider-Man mostly at night since he's at school during the day and it differentiated from the daylight scenes we had for three movies in a row.

As much as I'm looking forward to this movie it doesn't feel like a sequel to ASM since the tone is different and the suit is different. It would be like Man of steel 2 featuring the Reeve costume and Reeve tone

I wanna see battle damage to the suit like this.

@CyclopsWasRight

Well, mostly the fact that Spidey needed cranes to properly swing in the first movie.

And most of the stuff he does in the final swing, really isn't too far fetched if one takes his strength into consideration.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

With the crane scene I figure that he was wounded and it would take more energy and time to get to Oscorp tower, with the cranes he had a straight line with the least amount of swinging required.

I loved how in the final swing he flipped about on the walls, same with the ceiling in the school, it made him looks so flexible. I hope we see more of that for this movie

 

[AF3619]

if the rumor is right of the manhole scene beeing the last scene,too bad we aren´t getting a final swing with TASM2

Well, yeah. He did get shot, so he definitely needed a little push.

Still, though, I recall Webb saying that Spidey couldn't swing like in the Raimi films, simply because it's impossible - he'd just slam into the building where he attatched his web.

Anyway, the final swing is indeed pretty damn cool.

I liked the style and colors of the first film. But thank god we got a new cinematographer for the sequel. Otherwise all the colors you're talking about might not have been so stunning.


As for your question, I wouldn't mind some gloom applied. But I want it to be a gloom that fits with the style they established in TASM2.

 

[TheSpectacular]

I wonder when we will get our first real review

 

[WebSlingerXLI]

edit

I feel like this should be spoiler tagged.

EDIT: I feel like the realistic physics definitely exist in TASM2, they're just a bit more exaggerated. Nothing like the terrible weightless feeling, and lack of velocity that we've gotten in the past.

Weightless animation is the worst.

 

[AF3619]

sorry, please edit it too

 

[Green Goblin]

I thought it was just because he was injured?

He was swinging fine in the first person montage from skyscrappers.

 

[WebSlingerXLI]

Nothing against you! Just for the posters who might not want to see it, I've actually speculated that too.

I'm tired of those anyway. Thought they should've ended that at TASM.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Which manhole shot are we getting? I'm hoping it's the one with the webs attached.

I don't mind a lack of a final swing. Ending it with a Rhino battle is fantastic.

 

[Alt-Josh]

There are better ways to end the movie then with a final swing. It's become too repetitive, and the final shot of a movie should hold a little more meaning.

 

[Picard Sisko]

It's funny how SM3 was lacking a final swing, but TASM1 had one.

The night time thing didn't bother me because it made sense that he couldn't go out during school time. Now that he's graduated it makes sense that he can go fight crime during the day.

 

[WebSlingerXLI]

Yup, and it's different too. I know it's was somewhat traditional, but The Incredibles did something similar, and to me that's one of the best superhero films ever.

Also, thanks for the Email, very creepy and eerie indeed! I wonder how he'll sound when speaking.

"You are Spiderman and i love that but i love Peter Parker more" and then next scene is Peter looking to a grave on winter LOL.
