The fuck?
I'm picker about games nowadays. I like the concept, the story takes place after the film. I just feels like a general movie cash-in video game. Very loose and clunky controls, mediocre animation, and doesn't allow me to use my own brain.

heh, not a bad idea... this movie just really reignited my love for the series and now I want to subject myself to anything Spider-man related.
I figured as much. I trust your word on it because that's kinda the impression I've always had about it.
Its not bad. I wasnt crazy about it at first but ended up really enjoying it. It could use a little more polish in several areas but I wouldnt call it a bad game.
If you have nothing to play and a free spot in your queue, give it a go.
dude the spider doesn't look like an "O", failure!
Also, it's still funny to me that you have created your own template for every movie review you do. I mean, it's neat and pleasant to look at, I just giggle every time I see one
I still haven't seen the movie, but one thing I've noticed is a lot of people commenting on Garfield and Stone's chemistry. Well, Maguire and Dunst had good chemistry in the first movie, and none in the other two. Maguire and Dunst were also boning whilst making the first film, which is also true of Garfield and Stone.
All of which is to say, fans who loved their chemistry better hope they don't have a nasty breakup before the series is done.

This is probably accurate for most people. I literally fired it up, played it for about ten-fifteen minutes, quickly realized that this simply isn't the type of game I'm going to want to continue to play. That is been happening much more frequently.

Vaio and Xperia.
They're chemistry is fine, bit too quirky at times. It certainly feels like a majority of their scenes were cut. When it's all said and done, it doesn't really feel like they did too much together. I'm really curious what the extended cut would look like.
Pffft. I bet you still use Google.
Still the best opening credits for a superhero movie ever
Forget the trainwreck that followed this movie. Seeing this for the first time on opening night in 2004 was one of the best theatre experiences ever. Audience was so jacked.

I might just buy the game, I'm in Spidey-mode, I already want the next movie yesterday.
What are the best cartoons or comics to get reacquainted with? I used to read them when I was a kid but seeing as I'm about to turn 30... been a while, and have forgotten most things about it.

One more thing, how did the very last shot of the movie look to people seeing it in 2d? At the end he shoots a web into the camera for some slow-mo 'look the 3d is working' shot, but without the added depth of the 3d wouldn't shot just look awkward?

You know at one point Sony had to have asked if Peter could own a Vaio. These comic movies ask the audience to buy many fantastical elements. Peter Parker affording a Vaio is a step too far.
The final shot is great, even though it wasn't in 2D, it worked. He is spider-man.
Still looked cool in 2D.
Spider-Man 2. Train wreck. I get it.
To be honest, he could and should have done a much better job with Sandman as well. Venom wasn't even the worst of the plot in SM3 imo, it was Sandman's involvement with Ben. I mean, honestly, can you run out of ideas that quick where you need to rehash and old issue?
Raimi going in circles with SM4 proved that there was a lack of future consideration and ideas. ASM seems to be the exact opposite in considering where the franchise is going as to avoid another reboot.

I agree that the last shot was very bizarre in 2D. Definitely a made for 3D shot and I don't feel like the message came across very well in the 2D print. It still works because of what the shot is supposed to be about, as mentioned above, but you see that web coming at the camera and your brain immediately picks up on it being a broken shot because you're not watching it in 3D.
The only thing I found somewhat irritating about Gwen and Peter in this was that, since the script clearly sucked shit and lacked anything substantial to develop these characters, the scenes involving them mainly consisted of "*giggle* *giggle* *swoon*"
I'd love to be looking forward to a sequel that could actually live up to being amazing because there's a very strong foundation allowing that to happen. But lol, Orci & Kurtzman.

Your "reviews" are hilarious. They've been heavily weighted towards negative but end up with positive scores.

I thought OK were only working on the action sequences? If so I'd have no problem with that, those motherfuckers can script some action. They're not very good writers in general, but I do trust them with action at least.
If they're tinkering with the dramatic elements in the script, then fuck me.
But it makes me certain his impressions are more important than yours!
As far as Spidey goes, Spectacular Spider-Man is awesome.
Im clueless on comics. I think Im going to get a Nexus 7 when it comes out and use that as a comic reader because I really want to get back into them. All these comic movies being so good makes me regret ever giving them up.

Web of Shadows is where it's at, bro. Best Spidey game ever.

I absolutely loved Amazing Spider-Man.
It's everything I really wanted out of Spider-Man after Spider-Man 3. I feel like it's a much more realized Spider-Man movie than the last three were, despite how great Spider-Man 2 was.
Also - one thing that really caught my attention was the score. It added a lot to the movie and it was a lot better than I expected.

wow is this true ? if yes then this movie will no way get a 7/10 from me.
I think this does kinda confirm that the Goblin is going to be for the third movie instead of the 2nd.
I use the American grading system, so a 7/10 is a C or "average". Like most people said in this thread, the movie isn't good or bad, it's "not bad".
That's what it seems like for most of the movie. Then Parker randomly Bings them and there's newspaper clippings of them dying in a plane crash.
I'll second this. I'm not a Horner fan but it stood out in a good way for me.

I know right? I was a bit of an airhead when Avengers came out. I was hating on it for reasons that the movie clearly doesn't even exist for. It exists to put a bunch of cool characters together and kick ass. It does that and does it remarkably well, so I've warmed up to it a lot. I don't generally hate on pure entertainment and escapism unless it's directed like a piece of shit, and Avengers was handled well.
But yeah, long story short, most of these comic films being surprisingly good I think is getting me back in the game. and good christ Dark Knight Rises is almost out... it's too much.
My bro.
Better than the train sequence in SM2 and the boat sequence in Dark Knight.

I have no issues with the boat scene in Dark Knight.
I knew immediately when I saw it that it would be one of those sore points.
For one, it never reaches the cheese from the original Spider-Man film trilogy (which is Raimi's style anyway). The second issue I have is when people stop believing they are watching a summer film about a comic book superhero.
Most normal people didn't, but you know how GAF goes when it finds something remotely bad. IT RUINED THE ENTIRE MOVIE!! But yeah, I still have no idea why they need to have damn NYC pride to begin with.
It's a fairly normal element to the Spider-Man comics.

Probaby because the movie spends a considerable amount of time making the city look like it's full of thugs. I take the NYC pride moments as a way of the film saying "Hey, this place isn't that bad."

It really hurts the entire climax as it is total dependent on that crane contrivance.
It's super cheesy (that a bunch of crane operators - one of which had a son that Spidey helped - can be assembled together and their cranes moved in the amount of time needed to help Spiderman is ridiculous), but it's not a reason why this movie is mediocre.
It is, however, totally unnecessary and contrived as hell.
Just evidence of it.
