trailer doesn't get me excited. I hope they go through the same origin in about 15 minutes. We've seen it already.
 
Yeah, I wish they'd skipped the origin. But otherwise it looked pretty good. Looks like they're taking a darker approach to it than the past 3 movies which is good IMO.
 
Blech. Admittedly the trailer is low qual so it was hard to make out much, and it's only a teaser, but not impressed. Also, Peter looks like that twilight tool. I really hope I'm wrong, but this looks like shit so far.

Is the new Planet of the Apes the second reboot of the original? Just wondering. Never understood why some franchises got rebooted so quickly.

I believe that one is just a prequel rather than a reboot.

It's a prequel, but I believe it's paving the way for a reboot of the franchise.

My guess is there will be more movies, but they'll just be independent stories that don't replace or retell stories in the existing movies.

Easy to do with that franchise since it's not really character centered unlike a Superhero franchise.

Yep, way too soon for something that was made less than 10 years ago.
Not holding my breath for this one but still going to watch it.
 
it's a low-quality recording of a recording (and pictures of pictures).. but it looks like the suit is shoddier than the Toby suits, and none of the characters in the teaser trailer had any personality at all.

Meh. Meh, I say.

After Spider-man 3 I really can't blame them for wanting to reboot.
 
I've never been a big Spiderman fan (comics or movies) but I don't see how this movie could be worse than Spiderman 3. That was just so incredibly horrible, there is really nowhere to go but up for this movie.

Can't say I find the cast all that interesting though.
 
Those promotional photos look like a combination of Twilight and a made-for-MTV Spider-Man movie.

Marvel started their own production company, in the past few years, which is why all of their movies have blown cock.

I would need to do my homework on it again since it's been a LONG time since I read about it... but I'm pretty sure that Spiderman 3 is a testament to Sony's interfering with the creation of the project.

Rami hated Venom and intended to do a film just about sandman. I believe that Sony forced Venom into it, which is why the whole thing seemed more cobbled together than coherent like the other two.

There are elements of Spiderman 3 that were just stellar - like the Peter/New goblin scene towards the beginning. The movie COULD have been so much better than it was had those creating it had full creative control over it.
 
Oh please don't let it be more Emo Spiderman. We don't need a dark spiderman movie.

The problem I had with the last 3 movies was the villians were not really evil. The gas, arms, alien, sick kid forced all the villians to be evil.

Glad to finally see Gwen Stacy, hope they do a good job with her death scene.

I Read about that too, but no matter who's to blame it still doesn't change the fact that, that movie was a mess. Nearly all of the returning characters were written to the point where they were all just whinny and annoying and hard to get sympathetic for any of them (Peter's breakdown in the park from the breakup nearly made me walk out). That and it didn't help that at least for me I got the underlying feeling that Tobey and Kirsten felt tired of the film as well.

This isn't even mentioning any of the villains or just how overall everything just felt shoe horned in. So yes, I'm all for a reboot because that third one was just terrible and I NEVER liked Kirsten Dunst.
 
How hard is it to make someone look nerdy? Seriously, that's Peter Parker? He looks like a reject from some tween drama.

Hmm...... why doesn't sony come out and say that they pulled the original teaser trailer for the first Spiderman with the world trade towers because of 9/11 instead of pussying out with and excuse that it was not part of the movie.


This movie might be epic.....
 
Watching the trailer or teaser or whatever they're calling it in good quality makes me think "Man, I REALLY want a Mirror's Edge sequel."

Sort of. It can make money, so they want to make another Spider-Man, but Spider-Man 4 would have cost so much money. And Spider-Man 3 was an abortion on screen.

It needed a re-boot, but yeah, the franchise was only just over 10 years old.

Reboot my ass... the series didn't need a "reboot". Just cause 3 was fucked up doesn't mean that they had to reboot the entire story with that emo boy.
Look at the RE3. movie ..now that was bad...however the RE4 movie was better. Did they need a reboot? Maybe...with no Alice.

So what's next? A reboot of the spiderman series every decade? Wait for it.......... The Spectacular Spiderman starring Jaden Smith as Peter Parker/Spiderman...coming 2022! :|

The secret Hollywood doesn't want you to know is they are slowly reaching a point of "peak story." Many have denied it, but stories are not a renewable resource. At some point, Hollywood knew they would run out of them. Back in the 80s, they got the clever idea that they could push off this looming deadline if they just started remaking old movies. It was genius. Rather than going from a time of unrivaled creativity to stifling rehashes, they could intersperse remakes in with the new ideas.

Sadly, it only pushed off the inevitable. Despite having mixed success importing ideas from other countries, studios are now realizing the period of unrelenting reboots is approaching faster than previously thought. Sure, they've tried alternate methods, but they haven't found anything that will work long term. After all, the supply of bovine fecal matter was almost entirely depleted from the Twilight franchise alone.

Studios have realized they have few options left. The only way to stave off revolt over the depletion is to slowly get people used to the idea of having reboots far more frequently. A Spider-Man reboot after 10 years might seem excessive and unnecessary, but all the good superheroes have already been made into movies. Scraping the bottom of the barrel hasn't worked well, so the only option that remains is to just do it again.

While studios try to remain optimistic and say they'll be able to spread reboots out enough too keep things from becoming too redundant, most analysts say we'll someday be facing a period where movies like Spider-Man are rebooted on a cycle that slowly gets more and more frequent, even predicting a point where multiple Spider-Man movies will be in production at the same time, but some wave this off as a good thing. One prominent movie critic says this will allow everyone to have their favorite flavor of Spider-Man: heroic Spider-Man, sarcastic Spider-Man, Spider-Man with mechanical webslingers, Spider-Man with natural webslingers, Spider-Man with one mechanical webslinger and one natural webslinger, emo Spider-Man, etc. But, the fact of the matter is someday we'll look back on a decade between reboots with fondness while wondering what took them so long.

First off we're going under the assumption that ANY of the Resident Evil movies were good. They weren't. It needed a reboot as soon as they had shit to do with the game and Paul W.S. Anderson's excuse really to put his wife in any kinda movie and get her a job and make her the whole focal point of the series.

Second it's HARD as hell for any Spider-man movie to out emo the third had guylining, hair to the side Peter Parker and more crying then I could ever wand from a superhero flick.
 
Yeah I never would have thought you could fuck up black suit spider-man, but there you go. Instead of having him just act like an ill tempered ass they turned him into some emo John Travolta. He was supposed to feel like he was losing control, how hard is that?
 
Spiderman 3 was so terrible that a reboot of the franchise couldn't come soon enough for me. If the villains in 3 were just say Vulture and Mysterio or some lesser pair I think that could have gotten a recovery but they blew the load with Venom a major villain being done so halfassed there was no coming back. Love it or hate it the series needed a fresh start and personally I never liked Tobey Maguire 's version of Peter Parker/Spiderman to begin with. I don't know if it was just the script or his acting but I never once went yeah that guy is Peter Parker.
 
I think the last pictures should have gone BEFORE the one with Spiderman getting eaten...

On a side note, I have a feeling Emma Stone is going to be the best part of the movie. Too soon for another movie in the series and I don't like the new guy at all. :lol:
 
[quote name='Thekrakrabbit']I think the last pictures should have gone BEFORE the one with Spiderman getting eaten...[/QUOTE]

That's the cover. It's not in the story.

I'd expect that RT number to drop noticably as release gets closer.

I don't know what to think at this point. I was not sold on this at all until the most recent trailer, now I have at least a glimmer of hope. Not that I'm strongly in-tune with the general public but it feels like this movie has not been hyped much at all.

Still hate the fact that it's a reboot. Yeah, 3 was all over the place but I'd be more interested in a redeeming part 4 than a well-executed reboot.

I think I read somewhere that it's a reboot because Tobey didn't want to be in Spider-Man 4 because they wanted him to be in high school again.

There was a creative difference between Raimi and Sony regarding the villains, iirc.

Sony wanted Raimi to finally do the Lizard since they already had a Dr. Connors in place and fans were asking for it. But Raimi wanted Spider-man 4 to be about the Vulture and even had Hathaway audition for the role of Felicia Hardy aka the Black Cat, but instead turn her into the Vulturess - a villain Raimi made up.

It was a mess.

Glad that Sony for once scraped Spider-man 4 for TASM.

Interesting post but I disagree with this comment.

If they can make two awesome movies out of Blade then there are plenty of superheroes left.

DC in particular has plenty of big characters left, the most noteworthy being Wonderwoman.

Also retellings are nothing new. Mythology is mostly based on stories that were orally retold, modified, and expanded.

[quote name='rpg']nope it was Raimi

plans for Spider-Man 4 had been cancelled due to Raimi's withdrawal from the project

this movie is going to be epic and my tickets are ready :whee:[/QUOTE]

This is what I read http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...ew-script-sends-Peter-Parker-high-school.html

So I guess there were just tons of reasons why Spider-Man 4 didn't happen.
 
Well I heard part of the Venom stuff was not necessarily just Sony but Marvel bitched and moaned and forced Raimi to have to include Venom.
I believe Sony realized they fucked up and were all cool about 4 then they had to fuck with Raimi again, imposing their creative control, he said fuck you, left and Maguire and Dunst left with him.
Sony should have trusted that Raimi could make it good if they would just leave him alone but that can't be, no it's the Vulture and he's an old man, he can't be scary!!! rolls eyes.
It's worth noting about Raimi and wanting only Sandman because he was the only interesting character in that entire pos pretty much. The rare exceptions were a few moments with Maguire and the other guy who was Goblin.
Far as this movie goes I'll see it for $4 in theaters here but not more. That being said, the guy playing Parker looking fuckable on first glance doesn't instill faith in me. Maguire kinda looks awkward from the getgo so you can believe the nerdy part but you can see past that and see how he could secretly be hot. Parker is suppose to look a bit awkward and not be noticeable at first.
Oh and I wouldn't be surprised if they fuck up Gwen Stacy's death scene as Goblin will not be in this I assume.

Actually...
They're not killing Gwen yet at least not in this film. Emma Stone in an interview says she does know that her character in the comic books 'eventually' dies though.

As for Green Goblin...
He will/can make an appearance in future sequels since his building, the Oscorp Tower is in the film.
 
I have no problems seeing this movie when it comes out..not at midnight though..maybe on july 4th. Really don't like the idea that James Horner is doing the score. He is the master of reusing music/parts from his other works in his newer works... Honestly Danny Elfman's Spiderman theme is as memorable as John William's Superman Theme.
 
Some one took all the clips that have come out and made them into a 25 minute movie. I saw it yesterday however today I can not seem to find it. Every site that had it posted now no longer has the video. They have the news article about it but the video has been removed. The 25 minute movie seemed like it was okay but it did seem like the trailers showed off most of the end of the movie.

EDIT: Never mind I was able to find it again.

I'm sure the video wont stay up for long.

At least DC has the sense to keep Clark Kent looking like a mild mannered reporter. Next thing you know they'll have him looking like this douchebag does.

edit- From what i've seen, Denis Leary may be the best part of the movie.

I dunno, but that scene in Spiderman 3 was some major comic relief...
