Spidey related tidbit: the first Spider-Man movie was released on May 3rd 2002.
Fucking crazy to believe that movie is already ten years old!!! |

Didn't really like the Raimi Spider-Man flicks at all, especially the third, I'm not the biggest Spidey fan in the world but alot of the little changes annoyed the fuck out of me, we can accept this kid gained superpowers from a radioactive spider bite but not that he's a boy genius capable of creating web shooters The fact he doesn't look 30 kinda helps sway my opinion of the reboot too, hyped up for it probably on par with the Avengers.
And Emma Stone > Kirsten Dunst. |

I personally still like the Raimi movies for what they were: campy fun call-backs to the old days of Lee and Ditko. It's easy to look at them now as inferior to stuff like The Dark Knight or the Avengers, but before the Spider-Man movies, nobody had actually put any effort into making genuinely good superhero movies in nearly a decade. Most of the superhero movies that came out in the gulf between the Tim Burton Batman movies and the Raimi Spider-Man movies were cheap trash, and some of the rejected scripts were unreadable messes (ever read James Cameron's script for a Spider-Man movie? Or better yet, all the rejected scripts for a Superman reboot in the 90s?) So as cheesy as they are, the first set of Spider-Man movies were still a huge part in making the superhero genre more respectable (and more profitable, for that matter)
I mean, I still have huge issues with a lot of stuff in them (Green Goblin's horrible costume), especially in the third movie (the pointless retcon where Sandman killed Uncle Ben, the atrocious amnesia angle with Harry, turning MJ into a jealous bitch, introducing Gwen Stacy and her father two movies too late, shoe-horning in Venom for no reason other than because the producers wanted them there....and what the hell was up with the musical number?!). But even then, there were some awesome moments. The bit where he saves Gwen from the collapsing building was great, and the fight between black-suited Spidey and Sandman in the subway kicked all kinds of ass. While Spider-Man 3 was still a bad movie overall, I've gotta at least give credit to the parts that didn't suck. Also, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. Hell, I should've opened with that. |

I think because i knew a little from the comic books it soured me on a lot of stuff, not as much as the X flicks but i knew alot of the stuff was 'wrong' and the casting annoyed me a little too, the leads at least everyone else you can't fault, i think i just wanted to enjoy the movies way too much. Can't fault the influence it had though, some fucking terrible comic book movies in the 90s, Nick Fury makes me shudder at the thought.
After watching Oz i genuinly worried what Simmons would do to |

Like that they're playing the monster angle with horror tropes. That was expected with Raimi having Venom but...

Holy... Shit...
That looks incredible. Spider-Man 2 is one of my favourite video games, and this basically looks like they've gone back to that formula. Except with graphics that'll make SM2 look like a Master System. Holy fucking sweet shit I'm seriously gonna consider finally upgrading from my PS2 and getting a modern games console. |

The fighting yes. The Spidey Vision thing is similar to AA/AC's preset grapple points.
But the swinging is all Spidey. I'm only nerd-sad that you can't swing from line to line Tarzan style anymore, which was possible in Spider-Man 2 as something of a secret move. Ah well. Anything that emulates Batman's combat style is A-okay. This and Captain America make a good bet there. |

I do to, but as much as I don't like it being rebooted already, all these clips have definitely got me fired up for this film. I love that they have a lot more of the comedy gags from the comics.

I like that he is more of a loud mouth in this one. You're not doing it right unless the villain is telling spider-man to shut up in frustration.
