Dont really get the high praise for 2. The AI tentacles and the inhibitor chip and "THE POWER OF THE SUN." Its got better action but i much prefer the first movie. Its not a bad movie i just dont see why people think its the best comic movie ever. Maybe they had not seen Blade?
Train scene.
I'm really bummed Homecoming isn't Miles Morales. Seems like much of it is taken from the Miles Morales run of Spider-Man.

I loved that song when I first heard it, that first Spider-Man really changed superhero movies.
Pretty much.

Fun, funny and Peter lovess being Spiderman. OK I'm in.
superhero movies don't have iconic theme songs anymore
Hero was fucking great in 2002 because it was the god damn spider-man song.
Then nickelback blew up. and every song sounded the same. which has retroactively made hero terrible.

This leads me to wonder who would have played uncle Ben........ Maybe Brad Pitt?

1) Heathens from the Suicide Squad soundtrack says otherwise.
2) Hero isn't actually a Nickelback song (yes, it has Chad Kroger on vocals, but that's where the connection ends).
3) Nickleback had already blown up by the time Hero hit the airwaves. How You Remind Me (the template for every Nickelback song since) came out a year before Spider-Man.
whaaaaaaaaaaaa
ok I must not have been listening to the radio cause Spiderman was absolutely the first time I heard nickelback, then how you remind me, then everything else blurs together.
And if there's any iconic song from Suicide Squad it's THIS
This is exactly why I don't get people's adoration of Spider-Man 2. To me that scene is the worst in Spider-Man cinematic outings, close to his dancing scene in the club in 3. It's embarrassing and not what I want to see in a film adaptation.

The part with him stopping it was fine. The passing out and being carried and everything though.. just didnt do it for me.

What if Willem Dafoe WAS The Joker in the DCEU.
And the current Leto Joker is actually a Joker-fied Tim Drake. He's Joker II that lives on after the death of Joker I, a final hilarious punch line in his war against the Batman.
I guess but when I hear it I don't think "Oh that's the Suicide Squad song". I do when I hear Purple Lambo.
was that heathens song even in the movie? or the credits?

Sounds pretty good.
SM2 will always be the GOAT

He's not, but that sounds like something DC would do.
It could be the 4th best superhero movie of the year and still be amazing.

Sam Raimi + Spider-Man was a match made in heaven back in 2002. A director's style has never been more well suited for adapting a particular character than that. The first two Spider-Man movies are still fantastic, with 2 still being the best superhero film to date.
Having said that, Tobey and Kirsten still suck.
Also, being the 3rd best Spider-Man movie isn't such a bad thing. SM3 and ASM are decent movies that both get more right than wrong.

While we're talking soundtracks Gifts & Curses from the SM2 one is the real GOAT.
Right now for me it's:
1. GOTG2
2. Logan
3. Wonder Woman
If it nails the 3rd act, it could easily be at least in 2nd place for me. Worst case it'd replace WW, thought the movie was just okay.
For Thor, I have the biggest hopes for this year after seeing that trailer, but who knows.

You guys talking about third best superhero movie of the year are sleeping on Lego Batman.
My top right now:
1) Logan
2) Lego Batman
3) Wonder Woman
Haven't seen Guardians yet.

Well, you're sleeping on Guardians!
That said, I have to watch Lego Batman as well.

I haven't see Lego Bats yet either, but so far I'd go
1. Logan
2. Wonder Woman
3. Guardians 2
2014 gave us Winter Soldier, Days of Future Past, and Guardians. This year looks to top that by a good margin. Ridiculous.

Haha, true. I have to wait for the blu-ray or a digital release these days because of where I live. I made an effort for Wonder Woman but I had to endure a shitty dub. I'll catch Guardians and Spidey in a few months. That said, I wasn't a huge fan of the first Guardians so I doubt I'll like the sequel that much.
Directed By Zack Snyder
I definitely felt GotG2 had the strongest 3rd act of the 3. People can debate the merits of all the films, but I think that's harder to debate.
Guy named NotLiquid winds up making a solid point. What're the odds?
Yeah GotG2 definitely nails its third act in a way the other two don't, and in fact I'd argue that WW's biggest drawback is that it fumbles the third act rather badly.
Yea that's why I said at least in 2nd place, since I too felt that GotG2 nailed it.

Sounds fantastic! Will make a great capper to my birthday.
The wish for an origin story is kind of insane. The "this might be someone's first X movie" argument starts to ring hollow especially when getting into cultural touchstone characters like Spider-man. I don't think not being explicit about his origins robs the character of much, if anything.
