The hiring of Orci and Kurtzman for the sequel leads me to think that it's going in an even safer creative direction.
Seriously, Sony. Shitbin these hacks, get Michael Chabon back on this shit and bring back Sam.

Chris. Nolan.
Whose great power? What an awful 4th wall comment coming from Ben. He never has a clue that Peter is Spider-Man. So the comment sounds pretentious spoken to Peter because what power does Peter have from Ben's POV? That's right, nothing. Ben only says that for the audience, which makes it all so contrived, fake, and unnatural as far as dialogues are concerned. A typical Hollywood targeting audiences who are easily manipulated by simple cheesy lines so they can quote it over and over again.
Reading the Lee/Ditko comics and just learned that this line was never spoken by Ben. I concede that it makes no logical sense in context of the first movie but I do enjoy its inclusion and I think it works thematically.
Lol Wtf is that![]()
oh god lol

oh god lol
They've retconned it and made it so Ben *did* say that line to Peter, though. He also says it in USM.
..and you are aware that the Raimi films didn't create the "With great power comes great responsibility." line, right? Because it seems you aren't.

Was talking about his new POS Spiderman. Not really an improvement in the dialogue department, and has nothing to do with taking an iconic line out. It's a movie where I guy turns into a giant Lizard and countless cheesy elements and your getting worked up over a line you thought was cheesy in a comic book movie?
Raimi's Spider-Man said:Uncle Ben: Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Seriously though, there is a 0% chance there will ever be a great film ala S-M2 to come out of this reboot franchise with the likes of Orci and Kurtzmann penning the sequel.
Depressing shit.
you are truly lost.Believe it or not, it was kind of a highlight for me :lol
Listening to this now...really great review(s). They hit on everything wrong with the movie. And I'm not even at the spoilers part yet.
Like how the movie overemphasizes the "lizard motif", and the part in the movie where there's like four CGI lizards crawling around on the same drain, I was thinking "Wow, NYC must have a lot of lizards."
You're so fucking wrong about this. The movie has a lot of problems, but being contrived to portray responsibility instead of using that specific line verbatim, is not one of the main issues.I agree with you.
Especially your comments on how everything is so contrived and forced. All the convoluted motions they go through to try and portray "With great power comes great responsibility." could've---and should've---been better and simpler portrayed by simply fucking saying it like literally every other Spider-Man adaptation. Your shitty movie isn't above that line, Marc Webb.
Agreed. The only thing that balances that fact is that the Spider-Man we did get was far better than anything we have seen before. But yeah, still felt like it wasn't enough spidey in comparison to SM1 and esp. to SM2.Twas ok, but souless. Somehow 80% of dialogs was in the trailers.
Not enough Spider-Man in this Spider-Man.
He was flying off the side unable to grab anything to stick to.Still listening. Still great review.
At the end, when Lizard"saves" Spider-man by grabbing his arm, he's saving the one person in the universe who doesn't need to be saved that way, seeing as Spider-man can stick to the side of buildings.

Well D'OH?!He didn't help mostly because Spidey needed help (although that's debatable too). The help was a gesture of regret and apology for what he's done. To let Peter know that he no longer snapping out of his mind and to hasten the possibility of Peter saving Captain Stacey, who's gravely injured at that point.
Alright folks, my 4 year old (will be 5 in a couple of weeks) loves the three Raimi versions. He gets bored when Spider-man is off camera though. How is the pacing? I know its another "origin" one so I am guessing he doesn't show up as spider-man until like an hour in? Just debating on whether or not to take him for his bday.
Did he run out of web? I don't remember that part

Sam. Raimi.
It's one of the main issues, for me.You're so fucking wrong about this. The movie has a lot of problems, but being contrived to portray responsibility instead of using that specific line verbatim, is not one of the main issues.
You're grasping at straws at this point, which is weird since there are more obvious/glaring issues with the movie than most of you're spouting.

Both times I saw the film, there was a kid four rows back from me asking "Is that Spider-Man" about a thousand times.
Print out some pictures of Andrew Garfield, Jim Davis's Garfield, Spider-Man, and cranes to help him study prior to the movie.

Lizard broke (or damaged) both devices about 30 seconds before.
No, silly-billies. Lizard man destroyed his web-dispensers by crushing his wrists earlier on. I thought this was quite obvious.
I just didn't get Connor's motivation.First he wanted his arm back, then he is hearing voices, then he wants to save the city by making them lizards, then he kills someone and now he is saving spider-man and saying "I'm Sorry"
At least Doc Ock was believable in Spider-man 2.

Except genius, Peter doesn't need web dispenser to stick into ceilings or buildings. That's one of his innate abilities inherited from the Spider bite. Watch the beginning where he just leapt and stuck to the ceiling of a train when he was shocked. He didn't even have the web dispenser back then.

Anyone know how much of the web fluid did Peter steal? He had an endless supply. The bank scene in Spider-man 2 when Peter could not shoot web at Doctor Octopus should have happened in the Amazing Spider-man
Yup. The Amazing Spider-man had so many issues but people seem to want to overlook them to like the film.

What is so hard to understand? The film mentioned earlier that byaltering your DNA, you may also alter your personality if you don't have the right mixture. Becoming more aggressive like a Lizard and losing control of his mind is the side effect of Connor turning into the Lizard.
Lizard isn't hearing voices in the movie
That's pretty much the lizard.
What's happening then?
Also, how does Peter know the?antidote number/mixture/recipe
It's not just a matter of liking the film or disliking the film. I wish people are more observant of the dialogue and the scenes before they go and scream "plotholes". In many cases, I find that people are not observant of the plot but they blame the film anyway.

WHY ISNT PETAR PERKER QUARTERBACK?
Suspension of Disbelief, gone.
And the crane scene?
Such a stupid sequence.
"Hey. This kid helped me. Let me help him. I know that he is going to Oscorp so let's do this. *teleports inside a crane* Let me line this shit up, Spidey!"
With that said. I enjoyed the movie for the sake of enjoyment, but as I mentioned before, an extended cut needs to be released as it skipped on so many things that were introduced but skipped or not shown.

NeoJubei said:What as the plot?Stopping Lizard for believing he can save the city by turning them into Lizards? Whatever happened to those cop lizards? why wasn't they going rampant in the city.
