Why does the CGI still look the same as it did in 2002? Spider-Man still looks like a badly animated cartoon when he's swinging through the city. Have there really been no advancements? Other elements of the trailer have some game though.
I don't know if I'm all that excited about this one. I feel like they could have picked a different hero instead of rebooting Spidy again. Am I the only one who would love to see Venom get his own feature film?
Oh and DC should get off the stick and make a Lobo film.
I'm speechless with joy. You guys can all sit at home and make tuna fish sandwiches or something; I'll be in the front row.
It's as if Nolan's Batman Begins had come out right after Burton's Batman (and pissed-off Jordan had gotten to see it that much faster).
No, it's even better. It's like being at a really nice restaurant and sending your food back (Raimi's Spider-Man) and having the chef immediately make you something much better and bring it out while you're date's still eating.
I disagree, I think it looks exactly like Rami's Spider-Man circa 2002. Once again the CGI pulls me out of the story the moment Spidey is in the air. I don't even mind that it's an origin story, I just wish the fx were better.
Fine, the CGI, whatever, but everything else is like a fucking real movie rather than a Sam "Evil Dead" Raimi pastiche.
I have to agree with you on the Rami statement, he's completely overrated.
My hatred of the whole Uncle Ben thing is on record, but I think this looks great. It looks like they took a LOT of cues from the Ultimate Spider-Man version of things (linking Peter's father to what would become the Spidey formula, so to speak). And Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane. Yes!
I think Raimi's work outside of the Spider-Man movies is exemplary; I don't know what happened there. I liked #2 a lot, but 1 and 3 are a mess of bad cheese and sand.
JPX, while I see your point about the obvious CGI taking you out of the movie, I think you're being too harsh on the effects. I bet if you did a side by side you'd notice the improvements. I think the challenge of Spidey's particular superheroic movements and skintight costume really find the cracks in human character animation.
It also looks like they used a live stuntman for some of it (what they could do without killing the stuntman and the cameraman swinging behind him).
I still can't figure out what you've got against the Uncle Ben plotting. It's exactly the kind of thing Shakespeare did.
