The Amazing Spider-man

Post by Amanroth »

What did ya'll think of this movie? I can't say I'm 100% happy with the way they changed the story, but I knew what the plot was long before it came out. That being said, I felt the acting was far superior, and the action sequences and effects seemed WAY more tasteful than the Sam Raimi movies. For that I deemed it decent, but perhaps it is only because my expectations are so low at this point. I gotta say I enjoyed Denis Leary as Captain Stacy.

Now what I'm wondering is this: I've been under the impression that this movie was based more on the Ultimate Spider-man plotline, with him being bitten in high school and all. I'm not as familiar with the Ultimate stuff, but I was pretty sure Parker's father worked with Eddie Brock's father, not with Connors, at Oscorp. So either way it seems they took a lot of liberties with the story. Oh well, at least they didn't * with the web shooters.

I was skeptical when I first heard about the reboot, but knowing now that it works for the Avengers and it's a little bit more true to the original story-line I appreciate it more. What I like the best from the reboot is the fact that they gave him his witty personality. Overall I approve of the movie, although I admit I think it would be cool if they cast Willem Defoe as Norman Osborne again.

On a side note I just spent a hundred bucks on an amazing spider-man outfit. i plan to show up late to my girlfriend's birthday party in the hopes that she'll be mad, and then embarrass the * out of her by acting like a very unprofessional paid spider-man who has been hired to attend her party.

* am I lookin' too fine in this costume.

I liked that Spiderman was actually witty in the reboot. He was kind of flat and boring in the original trilogy.

I take back my previous statement as I am fail. Sony still has the rights for Spider-man thus he will most likely not be in the next avengers movie. So the reboot isn't totally justifiable in my eyes but it was still pretty good.
