Well, we've heard the music three different times.
I have taken notice of this... They need to show way more of what he does as spiderman (and not in a montage) to earn his reputation. Its like the fact hes a superhero was just a subplot to connect the terribly boring dialogue to the villain confrontation/maryjane's rescue at the end. JJ voice: I WANT SPIDER-MAN!!
The best action scene I believe, is the one in the first movie where he stops the armoured car robbery and takes pictures as he bounces from one guy to the other... sitting on their shoulders and such. Thats just how I imagine spiderman fighting. But in the other fight scene where he stops the group of thugs from raping mary jane (with his mask off... sigh) his fighting is far from superhuman... the only time he gets both feet of the ground is when he does that weak-ass sloppy 'roll' over the guys back... quite obviously with the guys assistance.
Wow, you sound like a 12 year old who is an action junky and cares nothing for the core of a story. It's not about the action at all. My least favorite parts in the filml are action especially in TDK as great as they are. It's the writing that makes you want to get back to the characters.
.
Well, c'mon...a comic-book adaptation should have a lot of action. TDK did have its action and it did have its story, but TDK's story was suspenseful thoughout the entire movie, which is why it kept me on the edge of my seat. And that's the only way I am okay with a movie that deals out drama; it has to be tense, in which Spidey can fail with it. It can get boring, which it did even in the first, imo.
But the fight in the rain was one of my favorite scenes...when there's a hero needing to save a damsel in distress, it always becomes a classic just because of the virture in it(nice guy saving girl from *****ebags).
I'm not a big fan of Twilight, but the scene with him saving that one girl(Bela?) and then wanting to rip the heads off of those guys, that scene was awesome. Because it dealt with the same thing.
\Let me tell you, he didn't have time to put the whole damn thing on. Mj was about to get raped and god knows what else so he jumped down. And hey, it was NIGHT and it was RAINING, and MJ was in the DISTANCE, when he took care of them. He escaped before she could see him.
It wasn't like she didn't see his face. And she didn't.
Twilight was whack... what a waste. Ive actually had a few female friends who were assaulted, and Ive stayed up dreaming of torturing the scum responsible. Don't think I'm missing that point... its just, in that rain scene in spiderman 1 his acrobatic ability seemes to have diminished. The fight looks as real as WWF wrestling. The mask thing didnt bother me too much at the time... but I never accepted tobey maguire as parker, so Im disappointed with every maskless scene to an extent.
Wow, you sound like an old lady who just wants to see the pretty young actors realize they love eachother... over and over.
If you don't want action, whats the point of him having spiderpowers in the first place? you could just have a peter parker movie... spiderman can actually be the nickname he uses when he posts anonymous personals in the paper to meet his soul mate. Go watch bold and the beautiful
Yeh because the red booties are so much more important than the mask... In a drastic situation like that you only have time to remove your shoes and put on red boots... but not conceal your identity as a 'vigilante'
Spider-man, Spiderman
Friendly neighbourhood spiderman,
Wealth and Fame- he's ignored
ACTION is- his reward
To hiiiiim....
Life is a great big bang up,
where ever there's a hang up,
You'll find the spiderman!
Does this sound like the guy we've seen in the movie?
Sure doesn't because Raimi made him a big ***** whipped cry baby. Thanks Sam.
Sometimes I gotta say, how about you direct your own damn movie?
Wow, that wasn't ignorant.You completely disregard anything else that's good in those films and that's why you don't like them.
Sometimes I gotta say, how about you direct your own damn movie? But you can't because you're too busy sulking around about it to do it. Also because you probably don't have an ounce of storytelling sensibilities that Raimi has. If you did it, and thank God alot of you don't, it would go to hell.
Huh?
I never said I didn't want action. Yeah, you do have to have action obviously in a comic book film.I'm just saying that the core of the story is the interaction with the characters.
Get off Raimi's d!ck. Perhaps if the 'character interaction' your so fond of was half decent... people wouldnt care about the lack of action. Im a writer... and I would love to have made my own spidey movie, but what are the chances of that?
Kirsten and tobey staring at eachother like children struggling to put together coherent sentences... real deep writing there. uhh when you look at maryjane... you feel... uh you dont know how to feel...
Maybe if you had some REAL LIFE experience dealing with relationships and conflict amongst no-hoping street thugs... youd see why Spiderman fans are disappointed.
'you... HAVE to have action...' you make it sound like the action is a burden to the plot. It's a movie about a crime fighter/public servant... the action IS the story. Why would you even want to see a superhero movie if you have no interest in what a superhero does? BEFORE he goes home
Speak for yourself. I feel as if I just read a 12 year old's rant.
Gotta say thanks The Slang.
12 year old's rant? You call one sentence a rant? Wow, you're ignorant.
Simply put Peter Parker in the movies was not the Peter Parker from the comics, the cartoons, etc. I can't settle for a constantly (constantly!) tongue tied dreary eyed wimp of a Peter Parker with barely any humourous ability.
And I can't stand people who settled for the Peter Parker we got.
Why? That's ignorant right there. And that wasn't a sentence. That was three sections of incherant babble. Can you back up with anything else? Can you care to give a more intelligent reason why you didn't like it? I respect opinions. You clearly don't. But not when I hear stuff like you and Slang who give very whiney reasons and don't back it up with anything else except, "Oh, he was a wimp, he cried."
I think the only crybabies here are you.
Sorry I'm not going to argue with someone who has over 3,800 posts in less than a year.
I thought this thread was for action scenes......
