The formulas are starting to all feel too similar. They should take a break from the big screen on the next Spider-Man and do an 8-12 part Netflix series. It's not like that actor commands a big paycheck.
There's always a spin. The spin here: true New York ethno for Peter Parker and his setting. From his accent to the diversity to Aunt May. This is a more realistic setting for a kid from New York than what we're used to seeing. It's a different type of nerdy. There is no old aunt in New York who sits peacefully in a suburb doing nothing. Youre more likely to find an older lady who tries to appear younger (due to fashion trends) leading that single mom life trying to make a living for her and her nephew by working all day. Some will hate the new spin. Some will accept it. I personally love it. It's a fresh take, and it adds more depth to Peter Parker's character. Easier to relate to as well. It's got a "A Bronx Tale" setting vibe to it. I love what I see so far.
"Tonight, He Comes" could have been the great anti-typical superhero movie. But they had Will Smith star in it and it became just another superhero movie called Hancock. Oh well.
What formula? Like seriously, what other Marvel movie (besides Thor) started out with the titular character already having their powers? What other Marvel movie has high school for a setting? I love the fact that there's no origin story. I love that there might be an actual good villain on screen (bc Keaton). I didn't like the scene with Spidey trying to pull the two structures together. Feels like it might be a rehash of the train scene from Spidey 2. Here's hoping that the inevitable high school romance takes a backseat to Spidey and Iron Man.
Something about the trailer made me think of the 70s live action Spider-Man when he discovers his powers and crawls all over Aunt May's house to chirpy and quirky music.
I have to appreciate Marvel trailer for featuring the villain. Unlike the DC trailer in which you see the random parademon, but I think spiderman has the best villain gallery with batman being second.
totally. I had to turn it off when it starts detailing out everything. I still don't understand why trailers feel the need to tell you the story before the movie actually...tells you the story.
I actually think the movie will be pretty decent but after watching the trailer I can save some money and wait until it hits Showtime a year from now (comes out in theaters in July, add eight months....)
I can't seem to get into Spiderman. Even when it first came out. I would enjoy seeing the movies with my kiddos, but now I have no desire to see this in theater. Maybe I'm just getting burnt out on Marvel.
Or burnt out on the Spiderman continuity. I really enjoyed the Garfield movies. I'm sure I'll still like this one but could have done without some of the plot details revealed and cameo appearances.
