Lol, Clash of the Titans is a whole different can of worms...I think that was so forgettable because it was so generic...Antonio Torrente said:
I certainly couldn't tell you anything that happened in that movie other than there being a Kraken at some point...
Okay just saw this movie, is it great no, it's okay, it does have a rather long beginning but so did the other Spider-Man movie, it is worth a see if your a Spider-Man fan though I wouldn't go out of my way, and even though a lot of the mythos was changed the character himself felt a lot more like the Spider-Man from the comics then he did in the other movies, which is nice. Also I like this suit more not so much for look, both suits looked pretty bad to me but at least they have him looking into ways of getting a suit, not I draw picture I have suit now. A lot of Bob criticisms of the movie are just stupid, seriously complaining about the flash on the web shooters seriously way to nitpick, and the comments on the opening being to convent are over exaggerated they just so happen to work for Norman Osborn how is that even a coincidence you know nothing about Osborn but his name, and most the rest makes logic sense genetic researches do work together, but Gwen's father being chief of police is a bit much. Okay that scene towards the end that you mention was pretty stupid.
And Bob expect this review to get linked to in the future it's the new why "we hate and can't trust Bob" moment, and in this case they are right your bias is obvious and your overly negative tone paints you unprofessionally. I also imagine similar things happening in your Dark Knight Rises review.

Yeah the only thing I remembered in COTT is "Release the Kraken!" other than that zip.MrBrightside919 said:
Btw do you have any memorable scene after watching TASM?
Me and twelve of my friends last night, dude. All of us agreed: damn good movie.bat32391 said:
You are never alone.
Nothing of the sort. He just kinda gets with Gwen - it's in the background. Starts off with taliking to her awkwardly at school, then talk some more, he's there for him when Uncle Ben dies, and eventually he goes round for dinner and the relationship is consummated with a kiss. It's not an annoying love story - it's just part of Peter's character development, and it's great that Peter gets focus in the film as a character instead of just doing the easy thing and building up a villain like most things do.DoomyMcDoom said:
It's a great love story and I was wanting more scenes between Peter and Gwen, instead of being like "blah another love scene" like I am with most films. They were funny, well written and well acted and the films would've been much worse without them.
I was surprised to hear how caustic this review was, but to each their own since I enjoyed this much more than any of the previous three films.
I think the action and dialogue were both better in this one, and Andrew Garfield emotes more and seems to actually have some personality.
I'd recommend seeing it - it's not anywhere near one of my favorite movies but it's decent.

Hey, you're not alone. I don't know much about the comics (which may be the explanation), but thought the reboot to be surperior to the Raimi movies. I'd even go so far as to say that in my opinion Andrew Garfield is a better suited actor for Spider-Man than Tobey McGuire was.PsychedelicDiamond said:
Oh yeah, it seems everybody is talking about the crane.MrBrightside919 said:
Haven't seen TASM, what's stupid about it?
You know its not good if the scene you remember from a movie you watched is bad one.
I wanna see this movie just because I want to see if its realy this bad, BUT i wont be seeing it on opening week(end)

Well, I liked the crane scene...
Don't get why it's supposed to be stupid, I actually found it to be quite touching.
But to each his own I guess.
Yeah, I'm not getting HOW the crane scene was bad. It showed Karma. He could have went after the Lizard the first time he saw him, but he went to save the kid. Because he did that, the construction worker felt it was his duty to repay someone who saved the life of his son. How is that stupid? That's how life works. You do something out of the kindness of your heart without looking for reward and it comes back to you two fold--even at times you don't notice it.Calibanbutcher said:
It was showing that actions matter. Just like what happened with his uncle. He failed to act and his uncle died. This time he acted, saved someone and was aided. Past that, the crane scene show him actually beginning to understand -how- to web sling. If you remember the majority of the movie, he was sloppy at it, using a lot of webs just to get a short distance, and making a lot of close calls. It showed improvement in his own skills as well.
It happens in the comic time to time. Usually when he is shot, (Depending where, and this is a rare occurrence) he can't wall climb very well, or swing far and he ends up struggling unless he is -really- focused and pissed. Then again, this is him as a teenager when he first started, he's not used to things like being shot.
Also. Something that needs to be addressed. The complaints of how Peter was dressed or even his hair style in the movies. I hate to break it to you, but:
Peter in a T shirt over a long shirt. Skater-boy clothing fashion.
Even his clone wears hoodies. Notice the hair again one Peter?
His clothing style matches up again with what was shown in The Amazing Spider-man movie. And hair -again-.
And look at that. He enjoys rollerblading, despite being a giant geek. (Actually, most skaters and rollerbladers are geeks)
This is Peter Parker as an -adult- mind you. His style of clothing and hair is extremely on the mark. It seems like people who do not like this and are saying that "This doesn't make sense/fit in Spider-man" actually don't know the least -bit- about Spider-man.
And for those who keep saying how "EMO" Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker was and that it didn't fit. I give you this:
He takes every death and loss of a person -very- seriously and hard. Mary Janes explanation of him is spot on. This was also shown in the movie, but without someone -explaining- it but rather Peter going through it. (Again HAIR)
Less and less like Andrew got it wrong and more and more like people simply don't like Spider-Man outside of the fact that he's a dude who swing around the city.
Had a feeling he'd hate this film for the same reason I believe I will hate it: It is uneccessary.
Spiderman was a great trilogy (well the first 2 were awesome, the third not so much) and its so annoying that "reboots" are being released so soon after their originals.
I really hope no one goes to see this, however I know they will as all my friends are talking on Facebook about how good it is. My closer friends agree with me. A film like A Nightmare on Elm Street you can understand the justification for a reboot, a more modern take on a classic with updated CGI.
Spiderman? So they can keep the licence.
The film may be awesome or it maybe a load of rubbish but one sale they won't be getting, regardless of the quality of the title, is from me.
