"The Amazing Spiderman" (2012)


Recommended Posts

And after three of these. Hollywood will reboot it again lol. :(

I hope not, 3 and out and then reboot is stupid. There really is no reason why comic book characters like spiderman or batman etc have to be limited to a trilogy (though the original batman films did go up to 5 or w/e). I have hopes that by going back to Gwen and so on that the studio can then go past 3 films. Spiderman is still spiderman even when he's an adult, no need to really stick to the early years all the time.

Well, reboots will always be there. No matter what. Its how the companies make profits, but I guess there will be a time, when no one will demand a reboot. Even the hardcore fans

^This, if reboots **** people off then you're in a butt load of moaning cause that's pretty much what we can expect from now on. Reboots will become common place, specially with comic stories and it's prob the one place the reboots will work out the best. There will always be some studio or direct/producer that will always pitch a new idea. Just wait till they reboot Batman again thinking they can do better then Nolan.

I saw the trailer and couldn't believe how annoying they've made Peter Parker. With the previous films they did a lot to make the character likeable and appear vulnerable, whereas here we see him delivering moronic one-liners and acting whiny. This looks like it will further tarnish the Spider-Man brand, just like Superman Returns did for Superman. More worrying is that The Amazing Spider-Man is meant to have a runtime of 90mins, which is considerably shorter than the original Spider-Man (121mins) and much less than Batman Begins (140mins) or The Dark Knight (152mins) - for a reboot that seems very short.

You only have to look at the way the Batman franchise has been turned around to see what's possible by sticking to the source material and actually developing characters (especially when rebounding from something as bad as Batman & Robin). And I'd say that the videogames - Arkham Asylum and Arkham City - did an even better job, as the way the villains interact with each other is simply exceptional and they all fit into the narrative without seeming forced. It's the same with Star Trek - they were incredibly faithful to the franchise (I was impressed and I've watched every episode of every series in order, plus all 11 movies) and yet still managed to take a bold direction with the canon. I just wish Marvel would stop going for the cheesy approach all the time - they largely avoided that for Iron Man and it was considered a huge success. And, most importantly, they need to stop trying to make the majority of the movie using CGI. One of the reasons I liked the Batman films so much was because the CGI was much more subtle, unlike Marvel films (Spider-Man, Thor, The Hulk, X-Men) which are incredibly cartoony (and not in a good way) - George Lucas made the same mistake with the prequel films.

I like the fact they're going back to the original version of him creating his webbing chemically and using shooters as appose to it coming out of his body in the last set of films.

The Amazing Spiderman has changed some Spiderman Origins:

Three sources have told me this, but I held it. I didn't see the point in running it now, when the movie has been shot and edited and is ready to go. Nothing can be changed. But then the new trailer hits today and all but spells this out, so what the hell, here we go:

Spider-Man's origin has been changed in The Amazing Spider-Man. The spider bite no longer gives Peter powers, it rather activates something already in his genetic structure. Something placed there by his father. Peter Parker is no longer super-powered by chance, but rather by design.

This sounds like a possible plot point that could lead into the sequel.

Well, from what I remember his parents weren't normal in the comic books either. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong or something but I think they were spies? It's how it tied Spiderman into SHIELD and the whole Avengers stuff which, for some odd reason, they don't seem to want to do, or not yet anyways.

Hm... Not sure what I think of that. I don't understand why they would need to change something around like that honestly. Some things should just be left be.

Yikes, not liking that humanoid head. :\ The only thing about this movie I'm not going to like.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about that either.

I seem to remember something like that as well. It wasn't the original intent I'm sure, but I think it was changed later on... I don't think they can tie this in to Avengers or anything so long as Sony has the rights to the property unfortunately though.

I wonder if we will be able to see Wolverine in the Avengers too.

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
