[QUOTE="Fiery James, post: 5973380, member: 625"] I liked everyone in the movie and thought they all did a great job, but felt that it was pretty much unnecessary with the decent Spider-Man less than a decade old. But, I think that may be the result of Sony being nervous about straying too far from tradition and what worked before and not letting the film-makers tell the story that they actually wanted (and made). When the Sony execs first screened the film, word is they did not react well, and the movie went through a massive re-cut. You can see scenese and sequences in the trailer that did not make it into the movie or appeared in a different fashion. It's pretty clear from early word and stuff we saw that Peter Parker's parents were involved in the mutant spider project, and that Peter Parker himself was the key to making the animal/human hybrids work. Doctor Connors said that no hybrid had ever survived, but Peter did without any explanation (and it's clear that's because his dad was the one who developed the spider - would have been interesting if we found out that he used Peter's DNA or something in its creation and that's why it was compatible...) There was more to the story about Ratha presurring Curt Connors into testing his experiment on humans. I've seen pictures from a final confrontation between them in the Lizard's sewer lair that wasn't in the movie. Ratha just sort of disappeared (waiting for sequels?) after the bridge scene. And what was with all of the lizards running into the sewer anyway? They could have explained that with some throw-away line, but instead it just was... And the SWAT lizards? Awesome of him to gas them and turn them all into dangerous creatures, but were they? We don't know, the next time we heard about them, they were all recovered. He pretty much could have just used knock-out gas for the same effect... From the trailer, there was clearly more to the Peter Parker origin story, implying that he was more than accidentally changed into Spider-Man, that his parents were somehow responsible or involved, and that he was a special case. Would be interesting to see a director's cut some day. Maybe the Sony guys were right and it didn't work, but i was certainly open to seeing something different and a different take on the character.
