The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 4

[Spider-ManHero12]

You bet, lol.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Point against realism

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

huh, lol?

 

[Eggyman]

Aziz?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Glowing eyes


But who expects realism in a movie about a guy who turns to a giant man-lizard through a serum to heal to hold realism? Get real seekers of realism

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Aziz?

Yes?

 

[SpideyFan866]

Glowing eyes in not realistic. THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!

 

[spider-neil]

glowing eyes is a little to subtle in my humble opinion.

also the general audience will think his eyes actually DO glow rather than obvious the metaphore of wavy lines

 

[SpideyFan866]

^^^^^^and that was my impersonation of a TASM troll.

(Not you Aziz, you're cool).

 

[Eggyman]

I was wondering about the realism comment.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Agreed. I think Raimi had it right in the first film when time would slow down for like a split second and there was a high pitched sound effect.

Yup.

are you serious? so you can't express an opinion without being labelled a troll. I would suggest a troll is someone who insults a poster for no reason. if you disagree with my opinion then give a counter arguement and pack in the insults, I can insult people I disagree with as well but that pretty childish.

I think he was talking about his comment directly above yours, saying "Glowing eyes in not realistic. THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!"

Some people demand realism from this movie, and I think some said Webb aims at realism, and that was my thought of the subject

whoops! sorry SpideyFan866

I think that's true when it comes to the world and the people surrounding these fantastical creatures. He's gonna make it feel real. Of course he'll go full sci-fi/fantasy when it comes to Spider-Man and his enemies.

It's misunderstood all the time. The fantastical characters should stay fantastical. And then they're even more fantastical when operating within a grounded reality. It's dead simple and people who don't see that are either stupid, ignorant, or both.

MKL route: "Grim realism with a hint of mysticism"
Mysticism was too heavy for a hint

I just don't want to hear people going "AAAH, REALISM IS LACKING"

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I don't want to hear people going "WTF why is Rocket Racer in this?!?"

I see it like this, movies are an illiusion the longer you can keep that illusion going the more you are going to be wrapped up in that illusion.
anything that breaks that illusion thereby 'taking you out of the movie' is bad.

the more something looks and feels 'real' the more you buy it the more you are engaged. therefore making something feel 'real' will see the illusion.

an example if you make a superman movie and superman picks up a car, obviously no human do that so you can either CG the car or use hydrolics to lift a real car. the latter will definately sell the illusion more and the audience wont be taken out of the movie by thinking it looks fake. that way nolan's movies are so effective because virtually everything is practicle.

look at the spidey trailer, not even the most ardent raimi fan can say spidey leaping around for REAL doesn't look better than a CG spidey leaping around. there is a weight to it you just can't recreate in a computer.

no one is going to tell me superman done 30 years ago didn't look better than superman returns done in the last decade. realism also extends to sets rather than green screens, etc.

make it real and you will instantly sell the idea of your movie even if you are doing the fantastic.

People get more out of the spectacle when they really see it happening. Think of that first scene in raiders of the lost ark and how it would be if the boulder, the spears, the darts and everything else was, including harrison ford, was CGI

 

[ITheSymbioteI]

Best part in the trailer IMO: Spidey trashing the crap out of the SWAT team.

I just LOVE the ridiculous speed with which he moves. Beats the over-usage of slo mo ANYDAY. Really good decision making in going for speed rather than "cool slo mo". In fact, I would prefer them not use slow motion at all in the movie. Even if they do, I hope they dont use it on action scenes, but rather in the more emotional ones (like MJ and the kids falling on each side of the bridge).
