The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 5

Wait a second, is this poster real???

Yes sir.

 

[El Payaso]

I asked about who don't find any of the Raimi trilogy good, not those who like the movies, or the first two

I guess there are people here who disliked the second one. I have seen everything so far.

Yes sir.

So they make all those changes to the suit (none of which really necessary) to distance this movie from the previous one, and then they just make the exact same poster as SM1?

Not to mention that both posters fail to show Spider-man crawling a wall but make obvious that the actor is lying on the floor.

Is Spider-Man....dancing...? (Middle row, far right)

Looks like it, lol.

 

[Anno_Domini]

We're talking about Raimi's trilogy? Lol. Mediocre, great, disappointment. There.

Hahahaha

Asinine as it gets. Not to mention the quality of that art itself is atrocious.

Quick little comparison:

Talk about a massive regression in quality.

 

[Immortalfire]

That is just bad.

 

[Marvel Spider]

I'm sure that if the ASM one was a poster, then it would look up to par to the SM1 picture posted above. But, it's not. It's for merchandising. AKA, it's for toy boxes.





So, it's not a fair comparison.

Exactly.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Wow... that is some bad artwork.

 

[Infinity9999x]

It looks fine for merchandizing art.

 

[SpaceWay2009]

I'd like to know, people who hope to have this as their first good Spider-Man movie; how are the previous movies ranked? From Average to bad

Simply put, they were good, great, sub-par.

 

[Infinity9999x]

I think the first two were both good, and the third was mediocre. It really wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be. The problem was, the anticipation for SM3 was so ridiculously high that many reacted harsher then the might have otherwise.

The biggest thing for me when I rate the films though, is SM2. I have a bit of a weird view. I was never crazy about the film as a Spider-man movie. I think it's a very good movie. In fact, you could call it a great Superhero movie. But I thought it was a sub-par Spider-man movie. It missed a lot of the things I think are essential to the character.

Ironically, my low view of SM2 is why I never hated SM3 as much as some do.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

For me... apart from Doc Ock and maybe the costume, everything from Raimi's Spider-man trilogy can be improved upon.

Villainous Doc Ock was perfect. But I wasn't a fan of the "I'm good on the inside" Doc Ock. You could tell they originally intended for The Lizard to be in SM2, because they basically melded Doc Ock and Connors.

 

[BrollySupersj]

The new wall crawling poster wouldn't be so bad if it didn't look like someone spilled paint all over it.

Good God, Sony.

Can you honestly still say that the promo art for TASM hasn't been awful? X-Men: First Class had that same problem and I can admit that despite my complete love for that movie. Again the promo art isn't indicative of the film itself but when specifically talking about the quality of the artwork itself the stuff Sony has been releasing is just terrible.

The Avengers merchandising art:

The Dark Knight Rises merchandising art:

TASM merchandising art:

[Marvel Spider]

I don't find these bad.

 

[craigdbfan]

Those are much better.

Awesome pic. Is that calendar available yet?

Umm, honestly, I hold TASM merch art just as quality as the other pics. I really don't get what people are freaking out about. It looks fine for the kind of art it is.

Looks like he's dodging the swat of the Lizard's tail to me.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed. Definitely cooler, IMO.
