oh I totally thought 1 looked like a videogame, I just didn't care because it was a videogame I wanted to play
(eventually I did get to play that videogame but it was called Arkham City)

LOL at Oscorp security:* Not having the interns' pictures on their badges* Letting the interns pick up their badges without having to show ID* Using an observable code (as opposed to something biometric) to access the spider cage, or whatever they call it.

Trailer for the new one:

Some of the fight scenes look pretty cool, but the stuff with Harry is gonna be a chore AGAIN.

Some seriously unfinished CGI in that trailer unless they want things to look like PS3 cutscenes.

This is the kind of movie where the bad guy asks a question and then whistles the “Jeopardy” theme, right after he says, “My, oh my, how the tables have turned!” Where Foxx’s villain, dubbed Electro after he turns into a human Taser, says, “It’s time to meet your destiny.”Then, preparing to spray high voltage all over Times Square, “It’s my birthday, now it’s time for me to light my candles!” Which is not the only reason Electro reminded me of Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze.

Woah sorry bout that weird double post.
both of these movies baffle me in that there are usually a handful of really good choices (in part 2, the casting of Dane DeHaan, and some well directed rhythmic creativity to some of the action scenes, a decent reimagining for Gwen's exit) surrounded by a ton of terrible choices (script and pacing were terrible like part 1, origin story pt. 2 with dad Parker totally unnecessary, romance elements weaker that the first one, underdeveloped relationship between Peter and Harry, terrible, terirble villains - why did they even cast Paul Giametti? This movie somehow manages to waste Colm Feore - and oh god nerdy old Electro was just awful in every way)
tbf i don't know if there's anyway to ever put the Green Goblin on screen without it just looking awful, DeHaan probably the closest to getting the freakish psychotic nature of the villain. and i liked that they largely ditched the evil executive angle of Norman for the younger version, though I guess we'll never get our film version of Harry terrifying his wife and kids at the dinner table

Just ten minutes in, watching the first of these reboots, and its fucking godawful.

Seriously does it get better? That whole high school section at the start was embarassing.
― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Sunday, 31 May 2015 19:11 (eight years ago) link
no, stop now, there are so many good movies you could be watching instead
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 31 May 2015 20:57 (eight years ago) link
that was bad
The thing was, it didn't bring anything to the table that the Maguire/Dunst version didn't. And nothing was really improved upon.
I'm going to watch Tootsie now

Is this the correct rolling thread for bad news about Spider-Man movies?
