It's a fucking waste the man was never cast as The Joker.

And to think they covered up that gloriously expressive face with a goofy mask.
Perfect.

Dafoe screaming AVENGE ME is a moment I just can never forget.

Sounds promising. I'll be seeing it in the cinemas anyway.
Eh, it's still a mostly well regarded film anyway, that's actually good for Homecoming.

It worries me that both of the immediate reviews feel Homecoming falls short of Raimi's original Spiderman.
I mean, I love that movie, but it hasn't aged particularly well. It's got a lot of flaws, especially in the action department.
At times it's basically a big budget Power Rangers episode.
It's an anecdotal comparison, not like they watched every Spider-Man movie right before watching Homecoming and then reviewed the new one.
The HEART Osborn! First, we attack his heart!

That's always how I felt about it. Good movie, bad Spidey. Or more accurately, not the Spidey I wanted to see.
Fantastic Osborn. Perfect casting, poor art direction.

My cousin was terrified of him in American Psycho because she found his face scary.
It says something about the stength of the characters that it's still so we'll reveredIt worries me that both of the immediate reviews feel Homecoming falls short of Raimi's original Spiderman.

I think (hope) he was talking about Spidey 1 and 2. Hype!

That GIF looks great, washed out colors aside. Camp is not a bad thing when it comes to superheroes or any other escapist fare. Modern movie directors need to learn to embrace the camp again, only then can you have truly great villains and compelling drama.
Not even just from his Goblin suit either..
We deserve weird sideways cornrows hair Osborn!

Macy Gray is the only part of Spider-Man 1 showing its age.

Alot of talk about these credit scenes being something special too.

People forget how much movie critics loved "Spider-Man". Critics also forget how awful some of that dialogue is. If this movie lives up to critics' memories of "Spider-Man", we're in for a treat.

Same. If I hear "With great power..." one more time...
Indeed. Same reaction I have when I see people praising Raimi.

Raimi's first Spider-Man is a campy movie and it knows it. That style of film may not be to your or everyone's taste but that doesn't make it automatically bad.

It's all good. He definitely has a "style". Whether or not you're down with it is an entirely different matter.

Have I entered the Berenstein dimension where Spider-Man 2 is a completely different movie?
It's one of the best superhero movies ever made, and you people are crazy.
Also, what is with this damn obsession some people have about requiring a film's protagonist to be "likable" at all times?
What I want to know is why people have to be so abrasive about their opinions when it comes to "nerdy" stuff. Can't everyone just chill and discuss their opinions like adults? This "I'm going to come shove my controversial opinion in peoples' faces to get a response" thing is getting very annoying. At least offer some kind of explanations. Surely you know it's not a popular opinion.

I would NEVER say the original "Spider-Man" is a bad movie. It's a damn fun movie. I just don't know if critics, upon re-watching it, would hold it in the same esteem they do now.
Nah, just opinions. I usually don't post since people are always tripping over themselves to shame and name call anybody who thinks differently about the Raimi films.
Nah, I hate it. Lol
