wait...another spiderman story, with just slightly different adherence to cannon, batman rebooting every 10 seconds - are they just iterating until they snag us just right?...wth

all that said, and as ironically as possible, this looks like the one I wish they had made last reboot (toby)

Sorry, as a longtime fan, that looks horrible

It looks pretty good. Too bad the day I walked out after I finished seeing Spider-Man 3 in theaters I swore that I wouldn't pay a dime to see the next Spider-Man movie in a theater.

Can we still have Topher Grace as Venom?

ArkAngel: Confabulat: It looks good. I'm glad they're rebooting the emo Spidey nonsense from the last decade. Peter Parker is supposed to be funny, not whiny.

Personally, I always thought the little emo walk and dance by the clothing store was absolutely hilarious, though I never really took the whole series seriously. I still want to see Spidey and Wolverine team up, though.

/redheads

My friend, so long has Sony owns Spidey and 20th Century Fox owns Wolverine, that shall not happen. It's why I had to abandon all hope of a Punisher/Daredevil showdown.

It's the same damn movie I watched 10 years ago. If you're going to reboot a superhero movie, try to do it different. See Nolan's Batman compared to Burton's for further reference.

i really enjoyed the antagonism between J Johan Jameson and spidey in the comics. plus as a character, he was well played by whoever that guy as in the previous movies. sad to see that missing in the new film, and have it replaced with the usual overbearing angry police.

that said, i also liked peter's dilemma in dealing with the lizard. on the one hand, it was a mindless destructive creature that required spidey to use physicality to subdue. on the other hand, he was curt connors, a good friend to peter parker.

anyhoo, emma stone is.. yowza. i.. um. yeah. fap.

and the new peter parker is a freaky bug eyed hipster thats seriously annoying. not sure if he's written better than the moody sullen parker of yore.

So can all these different movie companies come together like the patchwork planet from Secret Wars and give us said film(s)?

Pros: I like how they made Peter smart again. Invented web shooters = win
Cons: It's gonna be emo. The fact that he is in high school makes that automatic.

it's official; all superheroes are now british

i hear theyve got voldemort in this one

Was Spiderman unmasked so frequently in the comics? From the trailer, the entire city knows who he is.

Pretty much this except for the correct use of Gwen Stacy before MJ. Also using the Lizard for the villain at least avoids a rehash there. I won't see it in theaters but I'll watch it when it comes out for a rental.

90-120 minutes of Emma Stone, though...right?

FeedTheCollapse: Heck, even X-Men: First Class sounded like a terrible idea

every x-men movie after #2: let's see how many random farking mutants we can cram into this one. Forget the script, we need a guy who can transform into a fishhead.

That looked amazing

...ly mediocre.

I know it'll be a little odd, but maybe they should use a little CGI to make the mask move a little, so the actor/director doesn't need to take off the mask so much just to get some facial expressions. Stop taking off your damn mask! Do it the comic way!

I will admit though that Emma looks great as a blonde.

The way I see it, this is all one giant stepping stone to an Emma Stone as Black Cat flick. What's not to like?

I'm gonna miss that guy from the Power Rangers.

AdolfOliverPanties: ManateeGag: Dennis Leary as Capt. Stacy? I'm in.

Bill Hicks played the role better.

At first I was like >.>

But then I was like ^o^

Sarsin: It's gonna be emo. The fact that he is in high school makes that automatic.

Right, because emo is so popular among high schoolers in 2012.

Cyno01: Ok, fark the spider-man reboot... lets talk about something good (hopefully).

What are these?

Chitauri?

skrulls?

Don't make it 2 hours long, and don't put a music video of "rain drops keep falling on my head."
/where's the yelling news guy?

Not feeling it. The kid is unappealing as Peter, the suit looks like an ice dancing costume, the lizard looks awful (look around the web for the concept art), and this whole thing just generally looks like shiat.

Spiderman 1 and especially 2 knocked it out of the park. 3 sucked, but they should have just moved ahead with a fourth in the series and fixed the story of the third in the doing, sort of retroactively explaining things better and having a second go at Venom. Instead: this. I'll be skipping this one.

As long as Kirsten Duncecap isn't in this one, it has a chance of being watchable.

Trying to be objective and not compare to any other iterations...

How often have you gone back to watch the raimi trilogy? I've tried, and I don't feel that it has held up after 10 years.

I'll enjoy this, but doubt it will hold up either.

They should have just cast the guy from Twilight instead of casting a lookalike.

Does this Spider-man sparkle?

Spiderman thread? Spiderman thread.

Chitauri?

If I had to guess.. Frost Giants. (Loki's pals from the Thor movie)
