Spider-Man reboot

The new-and-improved Lizard in the comics is pretty messed up, though.

 

Spoilers for recent Amazing Spider-Man issues:

 

 

He basically triggers the reptilian part of the human brain in other people, making them all territorial and aggressive, doing nasty stuff to each other. He also killed his own son (or rather, the Lizard killed Dr. Connors' son, since they're seen as two separate identities, but I digress).

that was a good arc.

 

I'm like 4 trades behind. :(

I don't really see the need for a new Spiderman film, or the need for a reboot.

 

Garfield, however, is, hands down, for fucking certain, the best choice for Spiderman.

 

I've seen most of his films, and he is always different, always fully in-character, and never slips. Heard the story about the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and his audition for it? He sent Gilliam three seperate videos, of himself playing the character in three completely different ways. Like shy and uncertain, a show off and waveringly eccentric (the one in the film), and a loud and superficial good guy (something like these, I can't remember exactly). So not only did Gilliam know how variable Garfield is, he also got 3 different characters to choose from, that were all acted to perfection.

 

Plus his performance in the Social Network was amazing. I just love the guy overall, and know for certain he'll make a great Spidey. He can be as geeky as the character is. He's so good in Parnassus that my girlfriend thought his character in the Social Network was a completely different actor.

 

 

I even liked SM3. They ruined it however, Rami should have said fuck you to the fans, and kept out Venom, or have taken out Sandman, and have it be about Venom, Carnage, and Harry.

 

Hey, it wasn't the fans that made Raimi do that shit, I think you'll find it was insane pressure from Sony- who wanted to please as many fans as they could by squeezing Venom in there. Raimi didn't want to do it but Sony wouldn't let up shoving him around about it. So he just took the piss out of the whole thing and made 3 ridiculous, especially all the bits with 'venom peter'.

I really don't know about the choice for Parker, but I really don't see Emma Stone as Gwen. MJ maybe. But not Gwen.

 

 

Yeah, I don't understand having a blonde play MJ first and now having a readhead play Gwen... Hollywood logic for ya. I'm not judging anything until I see the movie, though.

 

Yeah that is a pretty broken choice.

 

Not to mention commandeering the top-of-the-bridge ultimatum in the first Raimi Spiderman movie to fit with Mary Jane, rather than Gwen Stacy.

Yea, beyond the natural redhead as a blonde choice, judging by other movies I've seen her in, she just seems more Mary Jane than Gwen Stacey.

 

I'll be honest, I'm still going to see this movie, I'm just really wanting to see some trailers or footage soon to win me over.

 

Biggest gripe is 3D. Probably won't even utilize it, like the Green Hornet and the dozens of other "3D" live action movies.
