the special FX left much to be desired. im all for realism and such but this was taking it too far imo.

Yeah, it looks much more comic book-y. After X-Men everyone seemed to want to make a semi-"realistic" version of each origin story. Now we're kinda going the other way, with The Avengers really embracing the bubblegum stuff, and seemingly the new Spider-Man doing the same. Big, outrageous spectacle, rather than trying to shoehorn a superhero into the real world.

Early reports on ASM was they were going more realistic (and less expensive). I guess they changed their mind.

I don't know if Garfield is to blame or terrible writing, but pretty much every "joke" he makes in the preview makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine this being anywhere close to the level of awesome that is Spider-Man 2. The somewhat more serious tone and Garfield's lousy jokes/delivery certainly make me disinterested.


That's how Spider-Man actually is in the comics, despite the darker tone. Every incarnation of Spider-Man that I've seen or read always makes bad puns and cheesy one-liners. None of them are all that clever, but that's kinda what made Spider-Man so awesome to a lot of people in the first place.

Yeah, I loved the costume/knife jokes. It's way more like a comic book come to life, whereas the Maguire version (good as it often was) felt more like reality with a superhero merely inserted into it.

IM ON THE COUNTDOWN FOR OPENING DAY!!!!! Spider-Man is my fav of the superheros! Not only am I pumped for the movie of course, but I'm also excited that Emma Stone will have the female lead as at the moment she is my favorite female actress. (EVER SINCE MY OBSESSION--as you all know--WITH ZOMBIELAND)

I dunno if the one liners will work in a movie. It is the difference between comic books and movies. In comic books, well old ones, they are constantly talking during fight scenes. In movies that doesn't work. They were throwing wisecracks as far back as the forties, but it was Stan Lee who really pushed it in the sixties. I kind of preferred the early sixties DC approach with Green Lantern and Flash where you got mostly thought balloons involving strategy instead of talk ("okay he is doing that so I am going to do this").
