The Amazing Spider-Man The Official ASM THEATRICAL TRAILER Thread!

[spider-neil]

I'm tired of watching action movies and being bored out of my mind because I don't care for the characters because they haven't been developed.

 

[Juicy J]

I think most of The Avengers characters were handled pretty well in their movies, but I think that's going to be compromised in The Avengers.

Why? Do you not have faith in Whedon?

 

[Spiderman6592]

I don't have faith in the project. I don't think any director could handle it appropriately, it's not his fault.

 

[SpeterMan3]

Haha...plus he said both and then named three things.

Sometimes FUN also simply is FUN.

I recently rewatched the Indiana Jones TRILOGY (there is no 4th film; LOL) and I had so much FUN. Those movies are GREAT and stand the test of time. They are mainly FUN; great action, witty dialogue, great pacing, cool characters, etc. There's minimal real character developement and they are not 'deep' by any means. But they are still classics!

I don't think Raiders or Last Crusade are shallow. They do have the theme of evil men trying to pervert Holy relics but are destroyed by righteousness.

Star Wars has a little depth too with the force being a possible spiritual balance between good and evil that requires faith understand and control. LOTR has the power corrupts theme. The Matrix suggest society is a controlling mechanism for energy we must resist. Jurassic Park suggest man's effort to toy with nature will end tragically.

Many great movies have important themes and subtext. It engroses the viewer even more making them invested mentally and emotionally. Then you have the fun and thrilling scenes that makes the overall experience memorable but the underlying message is what you passdown to your children. Dumb movies have little use other than cheap, forgettable thrills.

Having a prevailing theme and thus a little depth does not equal deep. A movie with real depth spends lots of time exploring many aspects of that theme. This would include movies like American History X, Crash, etc.

Movies like the IJ trilogy, SW, JP, etc., are not like that and they are not deep by any means.

People didn't walk away from JP thinking about the ramifications of meddling with nature; they were in awe of the amazing dinosaur effects and exhilarating action sequences.

Apple Trailers runs INCREDIBLY SMOOTH now on my laptop for some reason. None of the choppiness I had before is present. PERFECT TIMING!!!!!

On the surface all everyone cared about were the SFX for Jurassic Park but most people could appreciate that there was a cautionary tale about science.

The better blockbusters offer moral subtext or some basic allegory so the movie resonates beyond a superficial level.

But I'd argue that the endings to Raiders and Last Crusade were just as deep as anything in Crash. The Nazis trying to pervert religious relic only to be destroyed in the process by God's power is more powerful than Crash which isn't really deep but actually sappy melodrama.

The ending to Schindler's List is deep with all the Jews Schindler saved crowds around him as he weeps and says he should've done more. The Jews try to console him. That's extremely powerful. Not as powerful but still deep is Darth Vader redeems himself by stopping the emperor from corrupting his son like Vader was corrupted decades before thereby bringing balance to the galaxy.

Crash doesn't have much weight. It's a soap opera with racist activity.

Some sort of footage will be shown at a Russian Movie Expo on the 6th, 7th, and 8th. The new trailer will possibly be shown there. We'll be getting it online at an unknown date this month.

Apple Trailers run at 30fps right? Curious.

I'm not sure.

 

[AnneFan]

I recently bought an iMac 27'' computer, so bring on the Spidey and TDKR trailers.

 

[Marvel Spider]

I'm just so glad that I can watch them in HD with no interruptions now.

 

[mackblack01]

When does the trailer's supposed to hit the web(no pun intended)?

 

[Marvel Spider]

Sometime this month. I'd say somewhere close to the 21st (two Sony movies released on the same day). But we might be getting a trailer description this week.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I thought only clips were being released this week at the expo, not a trailer?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed.

I hope the next trailer does something for me, becuase the first teaser was pretty underwhelming.

 

[craigdbfan]

I liked the last trailer but in terms of getting me excited for Spider-Man it did very little.

The overt focus on Peter Parker was good as we can somewhat rest easy that they seem to have gotten that part down well but we still have no idea on how Spider-Man has been handled at all.

I'm also really hoping the entire first person point of view was only for the teaser. If we get to many of those shots in the actual film it'll feel like a complete cop out.

Plus the the first person view in TAS didn't look nearly as good as the one from the Raimi series who used an actual camera to film those scenes instead of making it all CGI.

I mean, the teaser didn't give me chills like the 2002 film teaser did. I just hope the next trailer is good.

There were no first person sequences is the Raimi films..


And Webb has already stated that it will be used very sparingly for very specific scenes.

I disagree completely. The first person view in Raimi's film wasn't used anywhere near as extensively as it was in TASM. It was just a camera moving up and down for a few seconds... with TASM, it shook as he jumped, landed. You could make out glints of his shadow as he ran around and whatnot. I loved all of those little details.

I still think that people are saying "it looks too CGI" because they know that it is actually CGI.

What looks so fake about this?
