Like I said, man, you didn't get me down. I'm just not putting much effort in here because I've dealt with people like you before who came out from under a rock as soon as S-M4 was cancelled. you're simply being an ass. I knew it from the moment I met you on here. You like to cause trouble, get people worked up, and make sarcastic remarks, so Let's face it, man. You're an ass. Stop trying to rationalize what you were "trying" to do.

To think Spider-Man murdered that guy is an idiotic. I can see if we were talking about the Daredevil film, but did you honestly think Peter knew the guy was going to fall out the window?

Careful now. Calling people names can be a reason for probation or banning.

As I said, I was simply "trying" to give you a chance to expound on your opinion for a change, as opposed to your simply piling on others as usual. Sadly, you did NOT disappoint.

Peter did NOT even try to save the thief, which it turns out, DID NOT kill his uncle. Case closed.

Well, I'll be honest, man. I think you ARE trying to get me on probation or banned. You were egging me on.

Anybody notice how the people who aren't 100% with Raimi's films have no avatars, LOL?

Not in this debate, but that's a pretty funny observation there.

Anyway, let's get back to the reboot.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Seriously, though, I want to get back on topic. I'm excited for this new film, and I just wish we could all agree to disagree about the past films.

No, I have NEVER reported any one, and never will.

 

[SpeterMan3]

So yeah, Box Office.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

So yeah, Box Office.

Night and Day difference. And the Goblin should invoke fear.. not laughter. :

What...the color? It's basically the same design....just a different color. I don't like either. The Goblin costume was the major fault of the first SM movie and the Batman costume hasn't been good yet. Iron Man is the hero that wears armor. You would think Batman fans wouldn't want him to copy another hero.

I could/would agree with your principle if I felt the Batman costume was a disaster. Which I do not? Curious just "what" you would want to see in a Batman costume???

For once, I would love to see a Batman movie that wasn't ashamed of the costume. They take the coward's way out. (See X-Men) Is there a more garish costume than Spider-Man? Yet....we got the Spidey costume from the comic...right there onscreen...and it works. So it can be done.

Yes, very different where the one from the comics sounds simple, where the movie one is MUCH more realistic, and one I would MUCH MORE prefer.

You would rather Batman looked like Robocop in the comic? I hope no one at DC agrees with you.

What is the difference between Batman in Nolan's films and Green Goblin in Raimi's films? Both wearing military grade armor battle suits that they altered to fit their own persona.

You see how that is hypocrisy? Just say you like the TDK Batman suit and you don't like the SM1 Goblin suit. Don't bring in all this BS about realism and comic accuracy.

Body armor is realism, and it is not a full Irion Suit like Iron Man.

Again, not a Bat's fan so I do not know what the "real" costume is in your opinion, so it's hard to comment. But I like the realism this one affords. Now granted, you have to overlook the fact that he could not move very much in this suit. One of the problems I had in BB. The fight scenes looked clumsy, especially as they shot the action to hide this drawback.

Sorry.. THAT is NOT Robocop.

I have never said the Goblin should of came from the comics, so I don't know WHY you KEEP repeating the SAME ole Stuff over and over. You need some new material.

I "Have" said the Goblin should of been more gothic/scary than the Power Ranger Kid Friendly crap version we got. Look at some of the art designs they had leading up to the movie. MANY of them would of been a drastic improvement over what we got.

Goblin didn't need to proclaim anything. This is exactly why we get childish and remedial storylines with half assed execution because people like you need things spelled out to you. Good movies dont need to spoon feed everything to the audience, especially when its pretty damn obvious. Once Norman killed off the competition and his board members, what did you expect him to do, walk off holding Harry and Bernerd's hands into the sunset??? The guy was a maniac, just because he didn't monologue some deep, grand master plan for "upsetting the establishment" doesn't mean he wasn't going to engage in such extra curricular activities. I know Raimi dumbed things down in his movies but in this instance he gave audiences the benefit of the doubt and now you're proving he may have overestimated the audience's cognitive capacity to understand what was supposed to be pretty obvious.

the goblin's actions were so erratic that he did nothing more than come off as unstable... he puts spider-man to sleep in a simple little move... and can pretty much kill him and get it over with... but wants to team up... if it was so simple to get him incapacitated... then it seemed silly to go a roundabout way to eliminate him latter on...

he did nothing outside of his encounters with spider-man and killing board members to indicate that he had a grand plan... just a madman out to remove what he thought was an obstacal... all in all, he was terrible and the dialouge between him and spider-man was bad, really bad...

are you really comparing some kevlar armored plates to ironman's suit? ironman's suit stops tank shells (the simple physics of which is bafeling, as the forces impluse would turn stark's brain to mush but that is not here nor there) without scratching the paint job... batman's suit gets cut by dog...

is it so unreasonable to assume that a person would want more than cotton/polyester blend as his protection against thugs?

 

[Ajendo]

and the dialouge between him and spider-man was bad, really bad...

That goes without saying. The dialogue in general in these movies were horrendous.

Depending on how the film looks and how well they sell it, it could make Iron Man 1's numbers opening weekend. Or in the $90 mil range.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ It might make more. Remember, it is Spider-Man.

Not sure why "realism" is important in a super hero movie. A "realistic" Batman story would last about 2 days before he was wiped out by the mob. The entire story is unrealistic...but the costume can't be?

One of those looks very very cool. One is robo-Bats.

"Realism" ruins movies. Especially super hero movies. Batman may just be the least realistic super hero (some actually believe he can beat up Superman), but he works. A real life Batman gets killed right away. So if you're going to do it....do it with style! (Doc Brown would understand)

 

[chaseter]

HAHA that Batman would go down as quick as Kick Ass did.

The sad thing is Batman CAN beat up Supes in the comics because of his prep-time. "I always have kryptonite on me...just incase"

Correction, one looks like he's wearing PJs.. while the other actually looks like a "Dark Knight".

no one thinks he can beat superman... batman's world contains elements that can translate into a more grounded interpertation... and as for lasting 2 days... bruce is maticulous and with the resources he has, as well as training he recieved...lasts much longer... but as TDK showed... it will wear him down... a lot.

 

[Ajendo]

Resources or no resources, any punk on the street with a firearm and who's a decent shot can make minced meat of batman in all reality. That being said, him surviving 2 days is being generous imo. You're right though, his world translates better for a grounded interpretation, which is mor relevant here than the reality of what were to happen if bats was a real life person.
