New Trailer



First one was good, but pretty unnecessary. Looking forward to Jamie Foxx & Paul Giamatti as villians.

That shifty emo kid from Chronicle is a good fit for this.

3 villains huh? ...and one of them is Robo-Rhino?

I get that they were going for more of comic book-y tone with this though (as opposed to the "realism" in the MCU), so I guess I'll try to reserve judgement until I see it.

doc ock tentacles and vultures wings yo

Glad to see Palpatine back on his feet after that Death Star debacle.

Not gonna lie, the Sinister Six suggestions in the trailer got me kinda hype.

there is also hints of morbius and venom and whole lotta shit, someone broke down the whole trailer

Interesting. Curious for spoiler-free complaints.

Why has Spiderman 2 thus far been the only winner of the lot? It's Alfred Molina being awesome as Doc Ock, right?

couldn't stand the first casting and Social Network dude ain't much better.

I felt like they were really wrestling with tone in the first one as well.

IS THE RHINO REALLY A ROBOT?!?!

In all seriousness, what are they going to do if SM2 bombs?

I just have a hard time believing that other studios are built for this 'shared universe' shit.

comic movies don't bomb anymore

it's a highly-detailed science now

they don't fail. they just blow up, or they SET SALES RECORDS

this looks way better than the first one, which i fucking nearly hated

looks like the only thing they kept from the first one was the stupid ass mega-awkward modern "romance" between Peter and Gwen

they seem to have taken some of the tone, color and texture of Sam Raimi's Spidey Universe... AND I'M FUCKING GLAD THEY FINALLY DID

worst special edition dvd packaging of all time?

nah, they crammed too much money into marketing the FUCK outta this movie for it to fail now. gonna be like Iron Man 3: shit will make mad money even though it's kinda shitty.

Spiderman 2 is getting a bit savaged at Rotten Tomatoes but it's not that bad, and it's making hella hella money overseas, so it will have a few first huge weeks before Godzirra comes out

I actually think the very first Spider-Man has aged better. The CGI in 2 looks pretty dated already, where as the more weighted models/stuntmen moves in the first don't stick out as much.

Both are cool, my only real complaint about the first one is Green Goblin looking like a Power Ranger and that weird rooftop dialogue scene.

I also think Spider-Man three could make for a pretty good 80 minute movie if it was just edited down to Spidey vs. Sandman.

I don't like how Andrew Garfield makes Peter Parker so unlikably awkward. The whole idea is that Spidey's a fun nerd, not some actual unsavory nerd. I also didn't like how every problem in the first Amazing Spider-Man movie is directly caused by Parker so, instead of being a hero, he's essentially spending the duration of the film cleaning up his own mess and doesn't really save the day all that much. I had the same problem with The Dark Knight Returns. Just let heroes be heroic.

So far its doing less then the first one in most of the markets it has been released in. Its doing significantly less then Cap America. Its not tracking all that great in the US and has weak pre sales. Plus the dude that plays spiderman looks like a fucking douche and his friend even douceher.

oh snap, i ain't know that

i heard it did $67 million overseas already... don't know if that's superb or not compared to Cap Murrica

i don't want it to fail and flop, cause even though I am not feeling Andrew Garfield as Petey Parker, I am hyped for the Sinister 6 movie they are planning to do next

and I'm not mad at Jamie Foxx as Electro

^its opened in basically every major market overseas except China. It bombed badly in Japan. Its behind in the UK. It has a big splashy made hundred and something million but it cost them a hundred and something million to get that number. This cost them 250 to 300 to make and another 150 to market and distribute sure some of that cost is off set by toys and tshirts but it still going to need to make 800 something million to break even in its theatric run.

i kinda feel like this movie is gonna be some real tasty eye candy with a real sour center

the origin story is already butchered enough as it is, now Peter's dad is a secret scientist for Oscorp

this is some fucked up malarkey but i love Spidey so of course i'm gonna see it... but jesus take the wheel from Hollywood

i hope it's at least as good as the first Spiderman, cause we know it won't be as good as Raimi's Spiderman 2

all it looks like it really does, is perfect the 3-villain movie better than Spiderman 3 did... which isn't much of an accomplishment

but it DOES look cool how much Times Square gets obliterated by Electro, I will give them that much

ive always said this, and im just spitballing, but wouldnt it be crazy if this whole duality of the spiderman movies ended up being a lead up to the clone saga?

jonesing to see this today... probably gonna try and see it twice on opening weekend, and also try to see it on acid in 3-D while it's in the theaters, ha haaa

apparently the movie theme has hard dubstep music in some parts (ie. the Electro fight scene) that would normally have like classical orchestration

curious to see the result

I just saw it. It's pretty good, but a solid far distance from perfect. Some great moments, some serious / moments...

It DOES pull off the 3-villian sequence much better than Raimi's Spiderman 3. But only by using some cheap tricks and empty logic. Will discuss when more people see it.

Andrew Garfield does a decent job of being Peter Parker. Better than last time. Supporting cast does well.

The cinematography is the best part of this movie, to me. Some very inventive visuals and editing sequences. And Jamie Foxx fucking kills it as Electro. Really good work, especially with a movie-by-committee corporate agenda ham-fisting his story into the typical sad-villain scenario cliche. It works, but they could have done more with Max's character... still, holy fuck does the electricity action look amazing

Paul Giamatti... ehhh. His introduction leaves something to be desired. His Rhino costume is really fucked up too. It's metallic overkill, and I don't know how I feel about it having a buncha rockets and guns. I guess so... but

The new Green Goblin looks better than the William Defoe one, that's all I'll say for now. To be continued...

The pacing of this movie needs help, though. some better editing could have carved out a good 20 minutes to make it better, but oh well. They obviously wanted to satisfy a whole bunch of audiences, and they might... for a few weeks.

"Spiderman 2" is not nearly as good as "Captain America 2", and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" HAS to be better than this.

(the X-Men trailer after Spiderman 2 is kinda shitty... but still, watch it, obviously)

So can I get some real reviews on why the movie sucks?
