btw - Spider-man. Underwhelming. Must 'darker' always have to mean dimly lit?

Seriously?

I think you're setting yourself up for dissapointment on that one then. And I don'y think its all non fans.

We were talking about Spider-man and then the last two pages have been for the most part have been Dark Knight blah blah blah.

I know there are fans of Chris Nolan and the Batman franchise and I appreciate it, but the hype and chatter sometimes is overwhelming.

I will watch the film when it comes out and give it the props it deserves, but if it is bad (which I do doubt it will be) but if it doesn't end up breaking the banks with its box office receipts it might quieten the obsession a little. Which might be nice.

I know a fair few non-comic book fans who are looking forward to this.

And then you have the loyal and extremely dedicated Joss Whedon fans, who will be watching this just because of his name association.

So I think this film already has a few fanbases to delve into and then you have the normal punters who enjoy a good action packed summer blockbuster. I don't think it will be doing terribly at the box office.

Although if I would have to hazard a guess it would be breaking all box office records set in front of it.

You can never count on Joss Whedon fans, they never show up! 'Serenity' is a testament to that. Before it came out the Whedon fans would have you believe it was going to be the "biggest sci-fi movie ever!!!!!!", but in reality it flopped, not even recouping it's production budget, and that was after two years of very good 'Firefly' DVD sales.

I'm not saying that this will happen to The Avengers, far from it, it will almost definitely be a success, but i wouldn't count on Whedon fans to bring in the cash.

TDK (and TDKR) keep coming up in these threads because those are the films that recent comic book movies are aspiring to be in terms of both quality and box office takings. It came up in the Harry Potter thread because Potter was following a very similar path to TDK in terms of it's box office takings (with Potter having now fallen well behind TDK).

Just watched it - and to be honest - it looks crap. The CGI is so obvious it is almost cartoonish (perhaps that's what they are going for - but its not for me).

[Atlantic]

The only reason this film is being made is because Columbia do not want to lose the Spiderman license. Apparently if the film studio doesn't produce a new film every x number of years the film rights go back to Marvel Studios.

Shame really. It would've been cool to have Spiderman teaming up with the Avengers.

[Johnny Clay]

Rather liked that. A big improvement on previous trailers.

The cast seemed to be doing good work and visually looked way superior to Raimi's tacky efforts.

[Yuffie]

Thats looks okay so it does, With each trailer my interest is growing. I think this could be an all right flick. It'll get crushed by TDKR and Avengers but in itself, and compared to the previous spiderman films, it could be all right. I hated Tobey and Kirsten so I don't think the cast will peeve me off in this one, and I'm all for darker stories so bring it on !

[whedon247]

thats a brilliant trailer,looks to me like it will better the original 3

finnaly it looks like we have a sarcastic cocky peter parker! that small knives is my weakness line had me in stiches

the action looks sublime and EMMA STONE!

i didnt really care for this reboot but now i cant wait for the release

I've still got mixed emotions on this....

On one hand .. Good:
1) Sarky one-liners from Spidey, About time...
2) The swinging and webbing sequences look "amazing" (do you see what I did there?).
3) The costume and web-shooters work.
4) Emma Stone!

On the other .. Bad:
1) I know it's been done to death, but it still feels too early for another origin story.
2) What's with the unmasking scenes?
3) Not convinced by the Reptile so far, but it looks like there will be more than one (Biological attack?).
4) Peter Parker. Skateboard Emo? Really?

And another thing .. Ugly:
Unless the film is 5 hours long, we MUST have seen all the action sequences in the trailers by now. I mean really guys. How many different 2 minute trailers have we seen now?
We get the picture. Quit it!

Having said that, I will be in the queue on opening day, but I think I'll be leaving a little disappointed. I hope I'm proved wrong...

[Mr.Lavigne]

Hate the idea of this movie still, the closer it gets the more I know it will suck.

you dont know that at all really do you?????????

i was surprised to read that joss whedon(avenegers writer/director) classes spiderman as the perfect comic book movie,i always rated original trilogy as good but not great,x0-men 1 and 2 were much much better

this trailer looks great though

tbf TDKR could do it,guess we will find out if the huge boc office for TDK was down to ledger or not.

[Johnny Clay]

^ I think the whole Leger thing is a moot point by now. TDKR is a Nolan film as much as anything else. And since TDK we've had Inception, which some viewed as being something of a vanity project, the sort, as history has it, that directors are allowed after a huge studio hit. They often underwhelm. This one drew in $826m.

[whedon247]

i agree,i never put it down to ledgar either,i expect huge box office for TDKR,still not sure it will top avengers though

[MrSuper]

Rated 12A (as expected) with a running time of 2hrs 15mins.

[Motthus]

That is longer than I expected the film to be!

Strangely I normally have had days off work to go to see big comic book films like Thor,Captain America and The Avengers as soon as they come out in the past.However I'm really not that excited about Spiderman so I will properly see it but a few days after it is released!
