[OT] Spider-Man...who's interested? (possible spoilers)

[IceBear]

I think he's in college in the movie too, but I think in the comic he started out as a 15 year old HS student.

And then, if he REALLY got the powers of a spider, then why is the webbing coming out o his hands? last time I checked, a spider spun its web out of its arse...

LOL...that'd go over well...

Please post spoiler-free reviews this afternoon....this evening...

I know that the comic has a lot of holes, but hey! its a comic- and the gathering of loyal fans arent really that strict about the realness of a story (we do play DND after all)

anyhoo-Peter is a photographer for a major metropolitan newspaper- something a 15 year old cannot do- except nowadays- a kid can become a movie critic...

That's the part that really bothers me (yes, I am BOTHERED by the fact that he doesn't make his web shooters, so insert your 'Comic Book Guy' reference here).

Cause from what I understand, the webs come out of his wrists, BUT-- get this-- he has to make a pair of web shooters anyway to control and direct the webbing!!!

AUUUUUUGHHGGGH! Why screw with it? WHY!?

Yeah, I thought that was pretty stupid, too. I have no idea why they had to make such an odd change.

The other thing that bothers me is the fact that Willam Defoe wears that thick armor-like mask as the Green Goblin. The guy has a perfect face structure for the Green Goblin... why cover with that bulky thing? Why couldn't they just use makeup or a softer, more form-fitting mask, so he'd retain his natural look? Bah.

Anyway, nitpicks aside, I think it'll be good, and I'll probably go see it this weekend.

 

[Ashtal]

That you're still unemployed?

LOL! *kicks hong in the tush*

Yes, I am still unemployed. HOWEVER, all my employed buds are seeing it with me at the same time.

'Sides - you never know! I might have picked up shift work!

But, alas no.

If I had, I'd be running out to pick up Deities and Demigods!!!

yeah- they tried to do too much with the costume. All they had to do- as per the comic book- was place him in a purple costume (like batman's) and a green cloak.

As for the face, they could have made something like the Joker- latex fitting mask that accentuated certain features- but the human look is still there for emotional and acting purposes.

the costume is what irked me the most- but the rest of the movie will make up for that... i hope

edit:
i know this is just a pesonal opinion that will never really go anywhere, but I was thinking more along the lines of Christopher Walkin for the GG. he has that badass look, and also the mentality and the voice....

Iam not saying anything about DeFoe, I love his work and all, but I just saw Walkin in that part....

I've got my tickets for the 7:30 show.

It's reminiscient of Dec. 18th last year around this time, when all indications were pointing to greatness. I can't wait.

Organic web-shooters don't bother me at all. Green Goblin's armor does... Just nit-picking though.

Man oh man. I just can't believe that they made the spidey costume look as good as they did... and I can't believe they got web-slinging RIGHT. I'm reading a lot of "this is the best comic movie ever made" reviews, and if they can top Superman (which it looks like they just might), I'm going to fall on the floor spasming and frothing.

 

[GravyFingerz]

Ha! I can top that! A big group of us including my boss are gonna catch the 3PM matinee!


Wulf

Ha, I can top even that! Me and three of my friends are going to see it tonight for free!
