Looking good. Will have to travel an extra 30 miles to go see it in Imax.

Sad thing is I wanted Amazing Spider-Man to fail so Marvel Studios could get his rights back.

But damn this is looking good. Hope it is at least half as good as it seems so far.

The shit at the end with the big pillars and shit still looks like bad game CGI. The rest of the action stuff looks pretty awesome.
The only problem I have with the CGI is what appears to be Spidey catching Gwen and crashing through that huge rose window. Gwen looks like a manican or doll there. The pillar scene doesn't bother me in the least.

I was pretty neutral about the last Spiderman movie, but all origin movies tend to suck more than their follow-up (except Iron Man). This one looks pretty awesome. Both Marvel and Sony getting their shit straight whereas Fox...well.... they done goofed.

I think both Marvel and Sony learn the important lesson.

Make a good movie first. Then add the superhero angle to it. In adding the superhero angle do not ruin the good movie.

profit...

I don't care what you guys say. This shit looks good and this reboot is a ton better without Toby and Kirsten. It's got a darker feel.

You follow up 10 posts of people sucking the movie's dick based on a trailer with "I don't care what you guys say, I want to suck it's dick!"

So brave.

And no, it's not better than the original 2. It's only debatable if you're retarded. There's so much revisionist history about Tobey since Spidey 3 it's laughable. He was good/great in the first two movies and was almost universally praised at the time. Then the 3rd turd plopped and now people are sucking Jon Ralphio's dick and talking about how horrible Tobey was.

THAT SAID! This one looks miles better than the first ASM(which was a piece of shit covered in poop) and if they manage 2 good movies out of 3 it would be easy to argue ASM > Originals.

Toby was a decent Peter Parker and I felt very comfortable with him in that role as it felt very close to the 616 universe he came from. Spider-Man though, at no fault to him, wasn't the Spidey I've come to know and love since the 70's. The Spidey in Amazing was much closer to how I think he should be. The action scenes, the movements and yes his banter/sarcasm. Andrew Garfield isn't a bad Peter Parker but he is much more like the Peter Parker of the Ultimate Universe than the 616 Universe and it has been shown this is going to be a world crafted after the Ultimate Universe. The movie fits what it's trying to accomplish.

I think however the original three movies tried to accomplish more than they should have. Both GG and Doc Ock dying didn't make sense. I would have much prefereed movies trying not to encompass the entire back story of GG and Doc Ock in one movie. It would have been much better to shave down the story and not have both movies end with GG and Doc Ock dying and having Doc Ock actually die trying to save everyone and undo what he had done.

Yeah that or ASM1 was a piece of shit. It is possible for a superhero movie to be bad. Did you defend Elektra? Because the only thing that put ASM1 above Elktra was a couple of the action scenes. I had more written up but it's pointless. Some of you think saying it's based on Ultimate Spider-Man excuses it being a piece of shit, when Peter in ASM was nothing like Peter in USM. Even if he was itdoesn'tforgive the movie being garbage.

Gah! I said I was done with this. I'm sorry, I'll stop this time for reals. Seriously. Sorry.
I have to fight it!

Hey, I agree with you Grimm! I wanted to punch this guy in the mouth most of the time, whereas Toby conveyed a lot more of the insecure yet finding his own strength nerd that I feel was an integral part of Spider-Man's origin.

I still feel that Electro looks more like Mr. Freeze (and I've said that since day one), and I worry that too many villains is going to have the predictable result. And I can't stand the dude from Chronicle, so that's another negative for me.

The only thing going for this movie, I feel, is Emma Stone. Almost anyone would have been better than Kirsten Dunst, but I like Stone anyway. If they go through with killing her in this movie, and do it well, then it might be good. But I have the suspicion that this is mostly just flash in the trailers and the movie isn't going to be very good. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I will be waiting for the bluray unless I hear this is the greatest movie ever from Grimmlokk.

All these people butthurt that everyone isnt agreeing with them that Toby was great. If only we werent allowed to have opinions in the matter.

Similar to how some liked the original Xmen series and some prefer first class, their will always be a division of opinions. I liked the original spiderman movies, i just never liked Toby for a minute and i think spiderman 3 should be erased from history. However i like ASM more and this reboot has so much potential and if they do venom justice i'll never look back.

If Spiderman 3 had never been made the whole original Toby Spiderman movies would be at or near the top of the list for best superhero franchise imo. I think Toby, personally, was awesome as Peter Parker.

I have to agree with the non-Tobey crowd. I thought he was terrible in every movie. His facial expressions kill me. I can't even post them all but here are just some of my favorites that still haunt me every time I see Spider Man shows up on my DirecTV guide.

Tobey was a perfect Peter Parker. He was insecure, yet seemed like a brilliant science nerd. This new faggot with the poofy hair just screams emo sk8r boi cunt. I'm so fucking angry about this. FUCK.

LOL these expressions.

Are you fuckin with me? You call him emo, are you not looking at these images? Did you, just like most of us purge SM3 out of your mind with the disco walk? I, like most did enjoy SM1 and 2 but sorry him being insecure is how he seems in every movie..Gatsby anyone?

At any rate this back and forth is pointless until ASM 3 or 4 when Venom makes his debut and everyone falls in line.
