The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 3

[Spider-ManHero12]

Alberta trailer classification. It's never been wrong. Ever.

And that's a good thing.

 

[Troy_Parker]

yeah, that's what's most important. Who cares if it's a good movie, we just want it to make more money so we can look down on the other, lesser nerds.

people seriously need to stop trying to turn this crap into a competition.

TDKR will be a great movie.

TASM will also be a great movie.

That's it. This "TDKR WILL PWN TASM" crap got old weeks ago.

 

[paced]

Just being realistic, sunshine. Even the best films have flaws.

that could be subjective, or it depends on what you mean by flawed.

some films, if by imperfect then i agree. but if it makes mistakes with loopholes in the storyline, logic, etc, then come on let's not jinx that.

 

[AF3619]

TDKR will be a great movie.

TASM will also be a great movie.

That's it. This "TDKR WILL PWN TASM" crap got old weeks ago.

True, both will be good movies but the hype for TDKR is bigger because they know what to expect , with TASM anyone but the people who saw the Comic Con footage knowst:

TDKR will be a great movie.

TASM will also be a great movie.

It seems to be mostly TDKR vs The Avengers.

TASM is on the sidelines.

What are you doing here

 

[Anno_Domini]

It's certainly true that TDKR may suck. But what have you seen that would indicate TDKR as a bad movie? Nothing. TDKR's anticipation is due to the fact that Begins and TDK were so hugely successful. TASM does not have the same kind of reference. TDKR is the most anticipated movie for next summer based on the fact that it is the end of a trilogy that so far has pointed to being another great addition. There's nothing to prove otherwise.

I am a Spider-man fan at heart and honestly I don't find Batman nearly as interesting. However, Bats has had great success with Nolan's films and it is not fanboyism to say that the next movie will be epic.

Agreed 10x

It's not me being a fanboy, it's me being a fan of Christopher Nolan since Following. He's an amazing writer plus an absolutely amazing director. And...his take on Batman is of an intellectual and original take.

So what ! That movie might suck for all you know. You havent seen a thing from Spiderman except pics and a teaser, and TDKR had two trailers. Its just the fanboys that are hyping this up to be the god amoung movies. You honestly have no idea whats going to happen until the movie comes out. I remember we said Raimi could do no wrong and that Spiderman 3 will be the greatest superhero film of all time. Looked what happened. We dont know if TDKR will be epic we just have to wait and see.

We don't know how TDKR will be, but what we've heard and seen, besides the moaning and complaining of people wanting Bane to look different and people still bashing on the suit, it looks to be a major and epic story. Heck, Nolan got the influence from A Tale of Two Cities for crying out loud. I can't see how it cannot be in an epic proportion when Nolan is influenced by something OUTSIDE of Batman lore to give it another fresh take. And the fact that it borrows elements from The Dark Knight Returns t:

And also....I never said Raimi could do no wrong and that Spider-Man 3 was the best. The first trailer I enjoyed, but everything after started to put a bad taste in my mouth. Sam Raimi is definitely no Christopher Nolan. Raimi has had some hits-and-misses on his record, and that is what I am aware of mostly. It matters what a writer/director has done in the past, and Nolan has that leverage.

yeah even TDK had its flaws

*leaves thread hastily*

No, this is true, and as a Batman and Nolan fan, I can admit this. I wish there were some more explanation about the deaths Harvey committed. That to me, is a rather flaw that I wish was concluded better.

Agreed. Though I do feel that TDKR is at great risk of seeming like a structural rehash of TDK.

Prologue introducing the villain? I mean come on. Plus, I personally think the TDK was better because the Joker wasn't revealed as being one of the thugs until the end.

You think it has a risk of being a structural rehash because the villain was shown in the prologue again? Lol. That's grasping straws.

i have seriously got bored of spiderman they should use some other heroes

Really?

I've seen more TASM vs TDKR comments than The Avengers vs TDKR comments.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

TDKR will be a great movie.

Hopefully

TASM will also be a great movie.

Hopefully

It got old since it started

Hazzah!


As for the Spider-Man 2 comparisons, I honestly think this might be better. Spider-Man 2 has not aged well for me. I mean, when it came out I thought it was the best comic book movie ever made, but watching now I can see the signs that point to what Spider-Man 3 became. I still love that Doc Ock hospital scene, though. So damn good.

That scene was good but it kinda cliche.

I know, seeing dozens of movies with killer arms attacking chainsaw packing doctors gets old.

VFX Supervisor, Jerome Chen, describes working on The Amazing Spider-Man with our team: “The creation of the Spider-Man film experience is an inherent part of Imageworks’ artistic pedigree, so it's an incredible advantage to tap into the passion and experience of all the artists' here as we undertake Marc Webb's new telling of Peter Parker's story.”

 

[Troy_Parker]

The second I see RIM's posted in the news thread, I get my ass in here like a flash of lightening.

And cool, thanks for that.

My problem with Imageworks is that they're stuck at a level it's not able to crack that glass ceiling where ILM and WETA hang out.

Even with the lesser CGI companies, if it doesn't look photorealistc that's fine as long as the animation has real weight and physics to them.

But Sony Imageworks fails on both levels; Green Lantern's CGI was generally awful or just average. They're stuck in the early 2000's. I hope that Webb is able to push them in the right direction.

Digital Domain & Double Negative while being smaller are a lot better for example. I've actually liked Imageworks stuff on the Spidey films definitely one of their better endeavors but they really are lagging behind ILM and WETA.

 

[chaseter]

Don't we all

 

[Kane52630]

The big three that can work at maximum speed and produce great effects are Digital Domain, ILM, and of course WETA. Imageworks can do amazing CG if they are given the right amount of time.

 

[craigdbfan]

Still not up to snuff to the others in terms of consistency even when given a good deal of time.
