The Spider-Man 3 First Look Thread [Merged]

[November Rain]

she's of british decent from only going back a few generations if not that, I've always been under the impression that she was indeed british but migrated with her father for due to work.

didn't lee base her on his wife at the time which was a blonde brit. I made a thread about this and also the links that give this impression in the ultimate books while counter arguments would say that because she doesn't say anything 'brit-like' gives reason to the contrary.

but in this day, neither does the juggernaut or psylocke.

her nationality is actually unknown so there is no real answer, although i would tend to lean towards the influences of the creator myself.

I know the reason I watch Spidey films more than once in the theatre is because, some of the scenes from the movie just have an "Awe Factor." I also am a VFX kind a person, so just watching the animators, the camera men/women, and Sam's awesome directing, it makes me I don't know...excited. Things you here about from a friend who saw something you didn't or what not. I'm not patient enough to wait 6 months to see a movie I really like again.

Whether she is British or American, she is HOT

 

[The Joker]

People have a belief that Gwen should have an accent and that Ock is german?

Yeesh.

The 90's cartoon had a scary amount of influence on people.

Wasn't Ock Russian in the cartoon? Perhaps that's what's confussing people.

No, that was Electro. He was a Russian Policeman or something. He wasn't even called Max Dillon. And his father was the Red Skull and the Chameleon was his brother

Ock had a german accent in the cartoon.

mez, this is a slight overreaction..

there is nothing wrong with teasing people with action, but in this day and age, the footage they are using to sell films is simply far too much...

whole battles are being used to advertise films, i mean the last stand used over 14 minutes of footage in its attempt to draw in crowds, 14 minutes is a lot.

What is the point of releasing over 10% of film footage in order to sell the material when no more than about 3 would suffice if done correctly.

Besides, it's spiderman 3, they really don't need anything more than a name and a gimmick to sell this film. and the new costume provides more than that, Plus venom and you have crowds hooked.

Pirate's manages to bring in crowds without flooding people with released footage, why do superhero films think they need to do the same, expecially the larger budget ones...

I mean look at ghost rider, that isn't showing virtually any battles in detail and it gets its trailers across perfectly, so does 300 and also transformers...

I think you are taking the lazy approach like most people in advertising that thinking that alluring people in with lots of footage (especially battle stuff) is a good thing because it just leaves people feeling anti-climatic about the film since they have already seen it all (just like iceman's icing up and battle with pyro which i thought was simply highlighted in adverts but was actually shown in full with hindsight leaving me feeling disappointed with my viewing).

it's not good and most likely won't lead to repeat viewings where real money is made

no one is saying spidey is at this stage yet but i fear with so much time to go that it may reach around this point.

you only have to compare it to spidey 2 which only had one villain and there were very limited scenes with ock in any of the adverts and hardly any of them fighting at all, if only two clips repeated over and over...

with this you can pretty much tell whats going to happen in the story, scene for scene and there are plenty of clips of sandy and pete's fight as well as pete against harry with only the big brawl at the end being left completely unseen.

you're looking at things from the wrong point of view. you're a spider-man fan, for you and i, the Spider-Man 3 title and release date in a 5 second trailer is enough to get me into seats May 4th.

for the general public however, who aren't familiar with the character or movies, in order to get them to fill those seats, they need shots showing the intense drama, like MJ crying, and the insane action, like sandman smashing spidey into the truck.

that doesn't ruin the movie for me in the least bit. because you get NOTHING out of it just seeing a 1 sec shot BUT excitement to see how the characters got to that exact moment and what happened after that moment.

who knows how much less spider-man 1 and spider-man 2 would've made if they didn't show all those scenes in the trailers/clips?

Yes. Gwen was definitely based on Stan's wife Joanie, who is indeed British. But then Spidey is kind of based on Stan, and he isn't Jewish. Gwen has always been written as American. The only thing linking her to Britain is that her Uncle Arthur and his wife (I forget her name) lived there, which could easily be the opposite of what you mentioned- that they might have moved there for Arthur's career as a security consultant. After all, if Gwen had a British accent, Stan would've made that clear in the wirting, and likely would've had Peter make note of her heritage when they spoke.

Anyway, I dig Bryce as Gwen and would love to tickle her until she did the hi-pitched squeal like when she's introducing Spidey. Hoo-hah!

That is so frickin' round-about that I got dizzy.

And this is taking into consideration that Kraven was in the series? I suppose the Skull was Italian like in the 1991 Captain america movie?

That would never work, not with these fanboys always asking for MORE, it would never be enough for them. And if they did release the entire film in trailers, we'd all watch everyone of them. We're a bunch greedy babies and we must be fed.

Look at the guy above ^ asking to see more VENOM, when people already have him as their AVATAR.

one word....ANTICIPATION. that is what is causing all this. It has always been that way and the thing that is causing the anticipation is the action we have seen in the trailers, there is no denying it.

that is what the oint of it is.......the bigger things you show the more peoples (including myself) eyes pop out of their head with excitement. non-spoiler people don't like to see anything which lowers their knowing about the film so that everything is a suprise and thats mainly for average movie-goers.

No, the Skull was a Nazi, just like in the comic books. They just made him have a son who he transformed into Electro. He was supposed to be a doomsday weapon. A living being that can generate unlimited amounts of power.

The Chameleon was the Skull's adopted son. He had no ties to Kraven in the show.

SMH12, my mouth just dropped at the shear poetry that just came from you. Awesome post.

thank you.

 

[webhead731]

Eddie is cracking me up. Another thing that just made me laugh again is "Give a guy a break" then Peter shoves him into a wall. That was kind of funny.

 

[YodatheHobbit]

Technically, he did give him a break. A break in the glass of his framed artical!!! Hahaha! t:

Yeah, I know I'm not funny.

[Vaportrail]

I know people really want to see Venom in the next trailer but I hope we don't. It'll be awesome to see Venom for the first time on the big screen. At least that's my opinion. Anyone else agree?

Yes... I agree.

 

[Spade]

If we do see something, I would prefer it to be just a quick snippet to placate everyone. I don't need a full scene at the end, and it's not really for my own viewing pleasure so much as to finally end all of this 'white emblem' nonsense.
