Blonde Emma Stone >>>
Love the prospect of having such a tremendous actor like Martin Sheen portray Ben Parker too.

Not terrible to have Mouseschwitz's distro and marketing behind the Marvel movies....but it does concern me on a quality/final cut level.

It was an abortion that they ever decided to deviate from the source material. These are comic book movies...you're not trying to sell them for their close attachment with our reality. You're selling the fact that a 19 yr old scientific wunderkid can design a ridiculously strong filament material in his aunt's spare bedroom with makeshift gear.

I've heard some nice things about the free reign that Disney has given Marvel...it's pretty interesting as it follows a bit of the logic that is seen with Pixar and it's ability to remain autonomous.

Re: OT: Recent Movies You've Seen
I get a little nerdy when they mess with canon, but I have to admit I thought the idea of biological web was a nice idea given that fact that everything else he does comes via the bite. Mind you, as has been joked about quite a lot...it would have made more sense if he shot the web out his ass.
This is better though. Spiderman was my childhood favourite, I don't mind more of him. I've heard the 3D is really good as well. I'd rather watch it in 2D first, but the 3D trailer is getting raves.

Yeah, the biological webbing was more realistic...and wasn't a "bad" idea per se....but **** it, there's no reason to deviate from a comic book story line with such a massive following.
The idiots like you and I are the reason those movies ever had the popular traction to get made in the first place, reward us. I think Marvel studios has shown that the closer you stick to the gospel, the better the movie quality...the more you're rewarded.

I couldn't tell what that was about, but I do think it looks very intriguing.

Re: OT: Recent Movies You've Seen
saw it this weekend. wanted to see some sentiments around here before posting my own, since i'm a bit late in the game.
i agree completely. hiddleston and downey jr were fantastic. ruffalo makes a good banner with his strange/awkward calmness. probably because he's a total loon. in any event, those three turned what was, imo, an otherwise pretty bad movie into a good one.
the aliens were dumb. like somebody else (bbw?) said, it never quite felt like there was any real danger to the city. the pacing was a bit strange. not much buildup. there was an enormous hole with banner/the hulk. for spoiler purposes i won't say what, but it really bugged me and took me right out of the movie. the guy who plays capt' america is also a boring mother****er.
i was pretty disappointed. that was a pretty middling movie. i usually like the comic flicks (though was never into comics or the cartoons as a kid). but this one left me wanting.

Re: OT: Recent Movies You've Seen
and the whole blow shit up/destroy cities thing has become horribly overdone and is no longer entertaining.
give me a well paced chase that results in some damage.
but just senselessly ****ing up buildings... meh. overdone.
i don't think i'll see spiderman. i dont' think it looks good at all. but i am excited for batman. bale is nothing special but nolan is a very good writer and director (with his brother). ledger's act is tough to follow but imo nolan had something to do with it and i suspect we'll see some similarly strong performances -- with joseph-levitt, neeson returning and even matthew modine (not to mention the talented returning cast -- freeman, caine, oldman) he has a lot to work with.
