Not sure I like Electro's look, but I'm definitely glad Spidey's costume looks right this time.

[Kane Knight]

Not sure I like Electro's look, but I'm definitely glad Spidey's costume looks right this time.

Not sure I like Foxx for Electro, so his look is kind of moot to me. Maybe he'll be good in it, but I doubt it.

Otherwise, looking forward to this.

[Lock Jaw]

Electro reminds me of Arnold's Mr. Freeze.

[Lock Jaw]

I expect some electricity puns. "I think you'll get a real charge out of this" etc

[Kalyx triaD]

I feel while Mr. Freeze pushed it, most elemental or otherwise obviously themed heroes/villains often have some kind of pun to throw out. If Elector said that line I think he should be allowed to. At least 2 or 3 puns, let him have fun.

[Skippord]

fun fact: I have an entire bit in my stand up act where I just do Mr. Freeze puns because it is hilarious

[Kane Knight]

I expect some electricity puns. "I think you'll get a real charge out of this" etc

I'ma have to agree with Kalyx:

I feel while Mr. Freeze pushed it, most elemental or otherwise obviously themed heroes/villains often have some kind of pun to throw out. If Elector said that line I think he should be allowed to. At least 2 or 3 puns, let him have fun.

Plus, a few of Freeze's jokes weren't even jokes. Or puns.

"What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!"

lololol it has ice in it so it's funny. :|

[VSG]

The thumbnail on the YouTube video reminds me of the Blue Man group.

Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams are doing the score.

I have a feeling the score will now be better than the film itself.

[alvarado52]

So apparently Green Goblin is confirmed on the poster?

[Sixx]

Why don't you post that poster so we know what you're talking about?

[alvarado52]

Because you fuckers need to stop being lazy

[alvarado52]

There...happy now?

and look at that, fuckin' broken link. You deserve that.

[The Destroyer]

http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/villainsbanner02.jpg

Definitely Goblin-ish.

Rhino looks weird.

[Sixx]

http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/villainsbanner02.jpg

Definitely Goblin-ish.

Rhino looks weird.

Goblin-ish? You mean that mechanical dog in a hood on the left?

And I don't even see Rhino in that poster.

Might be cause of the crap definition or something.

[Krimzon7]

Rhino looks like a zord.

[The Destroyer]

I mean on the glider in the middle pic.

Rhino is the weird thing on the left.

[Sixx]

Are these posters even official?

They look terrible and they don't even match well.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh it's real... it's DAMN real

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Personally think Electro looks a bit shit. Thought The Lizard looked pretty terrible in the last one too.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/1386098037000-ASM-Electro-800px.jpg

[Sixx]

If that shit on the left is Rhino indeed, then he looks godawful, too.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I don't mind the Rhino thing. It's not typical Rhino, but at least it looks relatively realistic. Granted it's only still pictures, but on everything I've seen of Electro, the CGI looks no better than a video game released 10 years ago.

[Kalyx triaD]

Elektro looks cool, I like the glowy effect. I would have had Rhino in a bipedal mech but whatever, never cared for Rhino like that. I'm gonna assume the guy on the glider is Hob Goblin and not an Osborn.

[Sixx]

Dunno, he looks like he has this huge forehead like the guy that plays Harry Osborn. Maybe they just skip the Norman Osborn as Green Goblin part.

[slik]

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay... this multiple villain thing might work.

[The Destroyer]

Could easily be an absolute clusterfuck.

Vulture wings and Doc Ock arms at 1:15.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well, I guess it wasn't just the still photos Electro looked ridiculous in then.

[Blitz]

Looks good. I'm down.

[JimmyMess]

nice, nice

[slik]

Mary Jane is actually in the trailer despite being cut from the movie.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/05/a-very-close-look-at-the-amazing-spider-man-2-trailer/

[Rammsteinmad]

Holy fuck looks incredible! The new costume looks amazing in action as well. Really pumped for this!

Norman Osborns hair though... :lol:

[Krimzon7]

can't wait to see this.

[YOUR Hero]

So wait a minute. Was this a full reboot? I didn't bother with the Firs Amazing Spiderman as I just figured it was going to be awful, but I did think it was just a new Spiderman that we were supposed to take as being the same Spiderman.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol wut

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't like the first one, hopefully this one is better. Trailer doesn't give me hope.

[Lock Jaw]

Costume looks great though.

[XL]

2 villains and Harry turning heel? Sounds a bit Spider-Man 3.

[Kalyx triaD]

Context matters.

[Kalyx triaD]

Newest blog post rants about certain fan reaction to the trailer, among other things.

http://kalyxtriad.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/amazing-spider-man-2-fan-reaction-hypocrisy-super-cynicism/

[XL]

A blog complaining about people complaining? :y:

[Kalyx triaD]

Yep. Like shooting criminals for shooting guns, the buck has to stop somewhere.

[Kalyx triaD]

And you're a better man to think I'm complaining about people complaining in general. There's like... explanations in there and stuff.

[XL]

I know. I read it.

Are people moaning about the "3" villains all that much? I haven't really read much outside of this thread. The comment I made further up was more about a similarity thematically rather than a "3 villains = bad".

[Kalyx triaD]

Thanks for reading, btw.

Are people moaning about the "3" villains all that much?

Yes. It's even the point of a Kotaku article, aside from the comments and posts by users on various sites.

I haven't really read much outside of this thread. The comment I made further up was more about a similarity thematically rather than a "3 villains = bad".

I read a great deal since the trailer dropped. I'd tell you to check out the reactions personally but I rather not point you toward a landmine field. But trust that I didn't make a whole blog from you a three other other comments found online. And even before the trailer there was such a sentiment over the Spidey 3 matter. For many people, it certainly seems like "3 villains = bad".

I would have to disagree over the thematic similarities but that's not nearly as vexing as what the blog is about.

[Lock Jaw]

3 villains isn't necessarily bad, but Harry Osborn's hair sure is. Peter Parker's too.

[Sixx]

So, from Kalyx'(s?) blog:

It’s very unlikely that if Sony considered Spidey 3′s failures on too many villains that they’d mindlessly walk into that trap so soon into the reboot series. I’m gonna trust them on this.

How could a film company consider anything about Spiderman 3 a failure?

It made money. It made more money than either of the previous parts. A total success.

[Kalyx triaD]

They wouldn't consider it a failure. But I didn't wanna play the box office card. I rather say why I like Transformers Dark of the Moon rather than say, "It made a shit-ton of money your argument is invalid."

[Sixx]

Now that I think about it, that seems to be a pattern.

X3 made the most money of the whole trilogy, too.

Guess that people expect a lot after you deliver two solid movies.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah that's been a thing, but these third movies have had polarizing critical reception. While they do make money, the studio does take any issues into account.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope they took into account that The Amazing Spider-Man wasn't so good. *Inflammatory comment

[Kalyx triaD]

They upgraded on writers between one and two. They saw some room for improvement.

[JimmyMess]

I hope they took into account that The Amazing Spider-Man wasn't so good. *Inflammatory comment

I thought it was good, I also thought it was a 2 hour version of the first 30 minutes of the first Tobey movie.

[Lock Jaw]

First 30 minutes of the Tobey movie were better, though.

[JimmyMess]

fair enough.

I personally think it was too early to reboot the series, even though I enjoyed the recent flick

[Optimus Bone 69]

no bad

[Lock Jaw]

Better trailer than the first. Still largely indifferent on the whole, but I think it has to at least be better than the first one.

[dronepool]

Love it and it's out on my b-day.

[KIRA]

http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/villainsbanner02.jpg

Definitely Goblin-ish.

Rhino looks weird.

Blowing their load a bit early with this tag line "his greatest battle" Whats the tagline for 3 gonna be then?

and Rhino lis A ....mech? Hmm intresting.

[Reavant]

i dont know why but i love the line when aunt may is like we dont have a chimney and hes like WHAAAA?

[Rammsteinmad]

Yay! Looks awesome! Can't wait for this! :D

[Blitz]

Very much a fan of the little I've seen of Dane Dehaan's Harry Osborne.

[Kalyx triaD]

That trailer also reveals the experimental soundtrack Hans Zimmer is doing with other artists. Listening again, it does sound trippy.

[VSG]

Ugh I hate long trailers like this that pretty much gives away the whole movie. Rhino being a mech would have been an amazing surprise!

[The Destroyer]

That was "ruined" ages ago anyway.

[Blitz]

First good look at Dane DeHaan's Green Goblin. Rather demented.

http://i.imgur.com/FSfhwF2.jpg

[Kalyx triaD]

He's... an actual Goblin. Okay.

[Damian Rey]

I know nothing of Spider-Man, but wasn't Norman the original GG? Now I'm confused. Still, looks good in the shot, but I always figured Harry's dad would be the first Goblin in the current films.

[alvarado52]

He's... an actual Goblin. Okay.

You sure he's just not high on bath salts?

[Nowhere Man]

I know nothing of Spider-Man, but wasn't Norman the original GG? Now I'm confused. Still, looks good in the shot, but I always figured Harry's dad would be the first Goblin in the current films

Norman was the original Goblin, yeah, but Harry was the second, so they're not too far off.

I actually rather like the new Goblin's look here. It gets the point across without being the Power Rangers mask that Willem DaFoe had.

[Damian Rey]

Yeah, I like that we can see his face.

[Reavant]

They are mixing and matching ultimate and classic storylines a lot in all these movies.... in ultimates, the green goblin... was a goblin.

[Kalyx triaD]

Way more so there. He was a beast.

[Bobholly138]

I will do like I did with the last Spidey film. Wait and get it from Netflix.

[parkmania]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DlM2CWNTQ84" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite movies period. I'm not saying this has a chance to come close, but I'm keeping a very open mind as a childhood Spider-Man fanboy.

[Reavant]

wow that looks awesome

[Blitz]

http://i.imgur.com/3UttBaw.jpg

I'm going to be honest here. I don't feel great about this picture.

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh come on it's one picture! Wait until you've seen the movie (which will be awesome).

[Corporate CockSnogger]

The Spider-Man costume aside, I don't really like the look of anyone in these Amazing Spider-Man films. Thought the Lizard looked shite, Electro looks shite, Rhino I actually don't mind that much, but Goblin looks shite too. Really not too interested in this set of the films.

[Kalyx triaD]

Electro looks awesome. Rhino Mech is cool. Goblin is fine.

[Blitz]

Oh come on it's one picture! Wait until you've seen the movie (which will be awesome).
I'm one of the biggest champions of the first ASM. I think it's the best of the Spider Man movies. Of course I'll see this. Just saying I don't like the look.

[Rammsteinmad]

Just got back from this! Was awesome! So fucking pumped and excited but feel like nobody else has seen this yet, so I will use spoiler tags, just gotta get this outta my system.

Seriously... this is a huge spoiler. Could ruin the biggest surprise ever!The mid-credits scene has Mystique, Toad, and the Brotherhood of Mutants attacking a military base! Looks like Sony and 20th Century Fox(?) are following Marvel Studios lead now by crossing over their franchises. X-Men and Spidey? YES!!!

[Rammsteinmad]

Really want everyone to hurry up and see this now so we can all orgy over this!

[Kalyx triaD]

Really? Cool.

apparently its literally a scene from days of future past which is slid in as a trailer during the credits of spiderman. they aren't connected, but it does show that the film companies are warming up to the idea of working together.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hearing from most people that this is somewhere between "eh" and "a load of bollocks". Think I'll give it a miss and just wait for a dvd rip to download

[Impeccable]

I really enjoyed this film, but then was a massive fan of the first. I think this reboot captures perfectly the tragedy and comedy of Peter Parker's life. Like the different universe's in the comics, this one will appear more to some and some will think its meh. Personally I really like all the links they are weaving in the characters and the green goblin story and emergence is fascinating.

[Emperor Smeat]

US release with be getting a special promotion from Gamestop who will be offering two free tickets to the film with every purchase of the movie-based game. Promotion starts on April 29th and lasts until they run out of tickets.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/gamestop-offering-tickets-for-amazing-spider-man-2-with-game-purchases-april-29/

[Crimson]

Can't get into this reboot. Too soon for it

[Kalyx triaD]

You need to get over that, they already planned the next two - with two other spin-offs outside of that.

[Lock Jaw]

It would be easier to get over if the first one was good.




OH SNAP!!

[Kalyx triaD]

You're right.

[Rammsteinmad]

The first one is awesome! Lock Jaw STFU and get out of this thread! :foc:

[Damian Rey]

I really liked the first one. Like, a lot. I never cared for the original. Thought it was highly overrated. I bought into Garfield as Peter Parker immediately. Not to mention, he and Emm Stone have through the roof chemistry.

Fearing this one may be a bit overstuffed with 3 villians. But I guess it depends on how they use them and I'll wait to see it in theaters to judge the idea. But so far, I like what I see. I like that Harry LOOKS like a goblin there. Much more comic book like. And I love we can see his face.

We shall see. It's getting a solid nod critically, as did its predecessor, so I have hopes I will enjoy this. Also, just throwing this out there, but fuck me, what a great year of movies we are witnessing. Cap 2, X-Men sequel, Spidey sequel, God-fucking-zilla, and Guardians. Christ we are living in a golden age.

[Kalyx triaD]

This movie is very long, but not because of the villains. This is also something of a musical... or something. Music stood out to me. Electro's theme is catchy and ominous.

I'll have a longer write-up later, but I can say right now this is gonna be a polarizing movie.

[McLegend]

I liked it. I don't think it deserves the "hate" it's getting.

[thedamndest]

There were parts I liked about this and parts I did not. Could have done without the whole mystery of Richard Parker and just had him find out about the Oscorp stuff through Gwen or something. Richard has never been a huge factor in Spidey's life and with them making Ben such an important figure in the first one this just felt unnecessary.

Liked Electro, wish the Goblin had more time after becoming the Goblin, looking forward to more Paul Giamotti.

Some things were outright ridiculous. Like Gwen was able to cut webbing off with a nail file or pocket knife or something and then the dead guard holding up the key the giant lock.

[RoXer]

I'm really glad to know that I'm not fucking crazy...

When Electro made his first appearance, the music was dumb and out of place. It was voices (presumably his) talking over the music telling us Electro's thoughts.

I swear to god the first thing I thought of when I heard/saw this was "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses: The Movie" from the Britanick dudes where you hear a whispering "Eagle and Human are about to fight". Except this wasn't in a comedy video, it was in a summer blockbuster in a scene that isn't supposed to be funny.

And then, I'll be damned if I didn't see one of the guys IN THE VERY NEXT SCENE as an innocent bystander.

What a strange like.... I don't know what you would call that. Shoutout? I guess?

My point is, his inner monologue came off very weird and it made me think of Britanick and maybe it was supposed to because he was in the very next scene.

[RoXer]

this movie wasn't good by the way

[dronepool]

I liked it a lot. The Spider-Man action was the best of ANY Spider-Man, the drama was a bit much but it paid off in the end. Buying it on bluray for sure.

[Kalyx triaD]

YOU LIIIIEEEED TO ME

[Fignuts]

The Spider-Man action was the best of ANY Spider-Man, .

Bold claim. Even post-avengers, I still rate the Clock Tower/Train fight in Spider-man 2 as the best superhero movie fight scene ever.

[Krimzon7]

I enjoyed the movie. Would rather have had less mystery of richard parker. Every scene Spidey interacted with a kid was absolutely gold. I don't know why, but Andrew Garfield is amazing with the kid actors. There has been a ton of heart written into him. Think back to the kid he gave his mask to in the last movie, and the two interactions in this movie was purely amazing.


Also pretty funny to see Electro playing the itsy bitsy spider when he was fucking up Pete

[dronepool]

Bold claim. Even post-avengers, I still rate the Clock Tower/Train fight in Spider-man 2 as the best superhero movie fight scene ever.

Not Comic movie ever- just out of the 5 Spider-Man movies. Overall it was the most "Holy shit! That's SPIDER-MAN!" feeling when the action hit. The way he swings and fights is just awesome to watch.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You need to get over that, they already planned the next two - with two other spin-offs outside of that.

Why does he have to get over that? Because you want him too? It's too fucking soon. They are only doing it because the Avengers movie series is kicking their asses and it's the only marque superhero Columbia Pictures/Sony/Whoever they are has.

What are the spin-offs going to be?

[mitch_h]

Not horrible but not good either. The story kind of just muddles along, nothing is really memorable and the villains are half developed. The cast is good and hold the thing together and there are some good/emotional scenes. 5/10

[Kalyx triaD]

He needs to get over it because it's happening, my feelings be damned. Why it's happening doesn't matter - get used to the Amazing movie-verse because it's the only Spidey you're getting on the big screen.

Sinister Six and Venom are being fast tracked for features, with a possible Amazing 3 in between.

[mitch_h]

What the heck was with that Phillip Phillips song?

[Swiss Ultimate]

so horrible, huh? Hated the previews.

[Sixx]

I really fucking liked this movie. Prefer this trilogy (so far) over the original one, it's more fun.

Peter Parker/Spiderman is way better than the Toby Maguire one, funnier and more true to the comic book. Yeah, plot was kinda dumb, but I still had fun.

But ugh, Green Goblin. Like that actor wasn't creepy enough without make-up.

[ron the dial]

just watched both of these a few days ago. i'm with you all the way. i've enjoyed this series far more than the original. two felt like a bit of a drop from one, but i'd imagine three will be pretty bad ass. looking forward to it.

[VSG]

Same here. Just felt Rhino was an afterthought in here.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched this one a few days ago as well. The Electro stuff was decent, the Rhino stuff was pretty funny, and the Goblin/Osborne stuff was garbage.

[McLegend]

I dont't think they are good as The Sam Raimi's Spider-Man.

However I do feel that these Spider-Man movies could be underrated. Needs a little more time till I can come to the official decision.

[Kalyx triaD]

Neither of the Amazings touched Raimi's Spidey 2, imo.

[Fignuts]

Neither of the Amazings touched Raimi's Spidey 2, imo.

This.

That movie captured the atmosphere of the comic perfectly, where as the Amazing movies while fun, just feel like your every day CG fest superhero movie.

The Raimi trilogy had a unique feel to it. These don't. Still good though.

Spidey vs Doc Ock Tower/Train fight is still my favorite movie fight ever.

[Lock Jaw]

I feel like the "Amazing" series has the better Spider-Man, and Raimi's series had the better Peter Parker, origin, villains....

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I watched them both a few days ago too. The first one was better than I remembered, and I didn't hate the second one. The Electro stuff was really cheesy and not very well developed, but on the whole it was better than I was expecting. Not the worst superhero film I've watched this year anyway (Man of Steel)
