Spider-Man movie (casting, rumors, pix till release)

Looks okay to me. I think it's one of those action figures that's actually supposed to be, ya know, played with.

The thing for me is this: I just saw a Spiderman origin movie, less than ten years ago. I don't need to see another. I would have rather they just recast and do a "soft reboot" (ala the Hulk). This might be a good remake of the Raimi film but, for all intents and purposes its still basically a remake.

I'm prolly in the minority on this (I often am, come to think of it), but my favorite aspect of super-hero lore is the origin story. Typically, after a slam-bang origin issue or movie, it's all downhill from there. And in the case of Spidey, he has the best origin in comics history, IMO.

This didn't look like a "gritty, realistic world" to me. It did, however, look like a low-quality, dark bootleg of a trailer.

The producers are playing up the concept that this is a more "gritty realistic" movie in the current issue of Ent. Wkly.

coooooooooooool....

Wow, that was pretty cool.

That first-person sequence is going to look amazing in 3D (once they polish up the CGI).

That looks awsome! That (and Avengers) was easily one of the best first trailers I have seen in quite a while. Next year is going to be an amazing year for geek movie fans!

I'm starting to wonder now how they're going to fit The Lizard into this gritty, realistic world.

Two words: DNA Recombination.

Everything I've seen from this reboot in the last few weeks has me super excited. I was never a big fan of the Sam Raimi movies, but I thought they were all fun (though the 3rd was painful).

When Marc Webb signed on... The odd choice of director sold me on the idea of a reboot. I loved (500) Days of Summer. Subsequently, everything is looking good from the production so far.

The trailer just raises my hopes even more. At this point, I'm thinking I may have crossed into a point where the actual movie cannot live up to my expectations though.

You tricked me by making a flash gif, but it was a good trick.
Was holding off on watching it. Can't wait to see the full thing Friday with Cap!

I think it looks pretty cool! I really like the cast and the first-person sequence. Looks like they changed the tone quite a bit compared to the Raimi films.
Also, I loved Webb's "(500) Days of Summer", so I'm definitely looking forward to this!

[CaptainCanada]

Surprised that they're using something like the comics' ideas about Peter's parents. That was one of the more out-there ideas that doesn't normally get brought into the other media adaptations.

Looks interesting.

I look forward to the reports of audience members barfing en masse in their seats.

This is supposed to be a movie, not a frelling videogame. Same the cheesy first person for the PS3.
