Spider-Man 1 was the best superhero movie ever.

I have heard some people say that Spider-Man 2 will be the next "Empire Strikes Back". It's score at Rotten Tomatoes is genuinely intimidating right now. I can't wait to see it tommorrow.

But... but... but... it was horrible.

I mean, they couldn't even figure out if William Dafoe's character was evil, possessed, or mental.

I agree that Dafoe's character was bizarre, and the costume looked like something out of Power Rangers. But aside from that, the movie was very well-directed, Tobey made for a great Spidey, it had some really touching scenes, just a great film with a lot of very memorable moments. A++ in my book.

the first Spidey was kind of lame... although I am hearing good things about this one. Perhaps it won't suck as much as the first one. The previews look good.

Also, I don't like how the Spiderman action scenes are shot. It looks a little too cartoony for my tastes.

But I'll still see it in the theatre. That way I can legitimately ***** about the movie.

I just hope the end-fight scene will be better... the end-fight in the first movie was not just lame, but extremely lame...
...ok, the whole ending of the first movie was lame...

IMO, it should be a cartoon then. This is one of those movies that can't decide if it's a cartoon or not. I'm not a big fan of movies that try to have it both ways.

It goes with motivation and the audiences reaction to it.

Evil: He's aware of what he's doing - he should be shot!
Possessed: He's been taken control of - he should be helped!
Mental: He's got a disease - he should be treated!

Anyway, I'll say that I really liked Spiderman 1 as well. Though the GG was kinda strange in that outfit.

I imagine this thread is full of spoilers, so I won't read it until tomorrow, but damn you all for getting tickets before I could!

I've been so busy, I didn't get around to getting tickets until last Friday, and the whole day was sold out for today. The theater had 5 screens, and every single one was sold out all day long. Good for the movie, bad for me. But I got a ticket to the first show tomorrow morning.

So I'm just posting a general curse to all you who got tickets today. I'm sure it'll be a great movie, but if its not, then I'm not reading this thread to find out anyways.

I want to see that chick naked.

does she get naked?

I really didn't like spiderman. I didn't like Batman much either (Jack was the only good thing about it). For some reason comic book movies don't do it for me.

Fricken spoilers, DD!

Mild, but still.

I don't know anything about the comic book, so even that brief little blurb spoiled me. You don't have to use tags, but at least build up to it... goddamned capitalist pig dog oppressor!

I heard on Tuesday that Keanu Reeves is playing John Constantine in the film of 'Hellblazer'- which has magically relocated to the United States too.

Alan Moore apparently wants nothing to do with it.

March 4th, 2004 - Alan Moore Disowns Constantine ?

After reviewing the script and casting of HELLBLAZER, Comic Kingpin Alan Moore has done the unthinkable. He's washed his hand of the entire debacle. That's right-he's instructed DC to NOT credit him as the creator of the character. And putting his money where his mouth is, he has instructed that the royalties that he was splitting with his co-creators goes EXCLUSIVELY to the artists, Veitch and Bissette.

Taken from AICN


February 21st, 2004 - Director Francis Lawrence on Constantine

"Ah, interesting question. Well, I think you start to take...what I think first attracted me to this project was just the character himself - not the fact that he was English, not the fact that he had blonde hair and not the fact that he wore an olive-colored trench coat. It was sort of what made him who he was. And I think we've maintained that."

- Francis Lawrence on the decision to forego John Constantine's English nationality in favour of making him American."

I look forward to the director's retread of Sherlock Holmes as a Kalahari bushwoman in Botswana, played by Kim Basinger.
