Sequels What'd make a good spidey action scene?

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.

You're just nit picking. Fighting in the dark rain without his mask off? You sound like an immature fanboy who didn't get what he wanted.

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.
 
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.

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

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.

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'
 
Personally I never thought of that scene as a potential rape situation for MJ. I mean seriously? Attempted rape? in a Sony Spider-Man film? in 2002?

Well, now that I think about it. I guess it was.

Anyways....The whole mask thing (or lack thereof) in that scene was, as usual, done for dramatic purposes. Certainly Spider-Man is fast enough to put on his mask after yanking those guys away from MJ with all that web.

You're strongly opinionated, I'll give you that, haha.

Huh? :huh:

I never said I didn't want action. Yeah, you do have to have action obviously in a comic book film. :whatever: I'm just saying that the core of the story is the interaction with the characters.

Yeah, I realize that. I think he never had time to put on the mask because I don't know they actually started taking advantage of her? But I can also see why the imagry it creates without the mask.

You wouldn'f of really saw the mask anyway if it was on because it was dark and rainy and at a distance and because he was fighting. But I like the image of him in the darkness with his mask off. It gives us the sense of mystery as well. Plus, it adds to her wanting to see his face which she quotes and wants to.
 
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.

Wow, that wasn't ignorant. :whatever: 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.

People who DO talk **** should take this advice...that's what I'm trying to accomplish. In college now.

One day maybe I can make my own Spidey film. One can hope.

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
 
scene one:

the police have gone all out to catch spider-man who is taking the rap for the brutal beatings and murders commited out by the lizard.

scene; warehouse night
spidey swings in through sky light. spidey's spider sense goes off as a swarm of red laser sights light him up like a christmas tree.

police chief: FIRE!!!

the entire police force/SWAT team open fire

spidey with moves almost too fast for the human eye to follow dodges the hail of bulliets, this is done in real time to show just how fast spidey really is.

cut to warehouse floor as empty gun shells fall like rain.

police chief: HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!

slience...

police man 1: did we get him?
police man 2: nothing could have lived through that.

next you see spidey take out the entire police force in one seamless blindingly fast move moving from one police officer to the next without even pausing for breath.

the dust settles...

spidey picks up the police chief with one hand and brings him in close to his mask

spidey: if I were the killer you say I am you'd all be dead.

spidey drops the chief and swings out of the same sky light he entered.

scene two:

conner's family home

spidey: doc, I've got to take you in too many people have died.
curt: I know I just...
spidey: just what?
curt: t-take my family and go!
spidey: what?
curt: NOW!!

cut to conner's talend hand as he slices through spideys mask

spidey: ARRHHHHH!!!

next a massive tail catches spidey full in the stomach, sending spidey through three buildings

the lizard has returned!

the lizard makes his way up the stairs to billy's room he does this not by the stairs but on the side of the wall.

scene: billy's room

door creaks open
billy: dad?
lizard: silence...

the lizard then jumps across the room to billy's bed and cluches billy in two massive talened hands

billy: DAD!!!

lizard opens his massive jaw to bite down on billy's head

next webbing on the lizards mouth but the lizard is still slowly closing his jaws around billy's head

spidey: c'mon doc you're looking pudgy around the middle, small boys are definately bad for your diet way too many calories.

the lizard drops billy and turns his full attention on spidey. he coils his tail and uses it as a spring to propel himself and spidey to the street below.

spidey: you caught me by surprise last time doc now I'm ready for* ARGGH!!
in a lightning move the lizard slashes spidey across the chest.

spidey punches the lizard full in the face and then howls in pain gripping his fist with his other hand.

spidey: what the heck are you made of?!

that's enough for now:cwink:

Speak for yourself. I feel as if I just read a 12 year old's rant.

Mother of God, I said I do want action!

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.

Huh? Or, "Sorry I'm not going to argue with someone who is right and I have nothing else left to say so I'm just gonna disrespect the person in a hopefully final comeback."
 
I thought this thread was for action scenes......
 
Something simple... like a well-done aerial (apologies if spelt incorrectly) combat scene. The Doc Ock / Spidey one in SM2 was good, but still not quite there. We need to seee Spidey's agility for what it really is, we need to see him keep himself up in the air, aswell as his enemies, as oppose to fighting whilst 'falling', like the scene in SM2.

I wanna see him webbing buildings and zipping toward his enemies, jumping off glass (Play Spidey: WOS) and stuff. I think perhaps a scene like this would be amazing in a fight with Vulture. My head's whizzing just thinking about it :)
