Also they are never going to get a good JJJ like the Raimi movies had....literally perfect.

Proto-Goblin?

And agreed, I don't care how much it costs them and how much of a mess of rebooting it it will make, they NEED him back as JJJ. :lol:

The bond films kept Judi Dench as M for their reboots....

But what if you believe the fan theory of James Bond being part of the code name given to every 007 thus explaining his change in appearance and never aging? Hell the Die Another Day director wanted to put Connery in the film to actually make this theory canon.

I don't understand why this is just a 'fan theory'. Cracked even included it in their list of 'Five crazy fan theories' or some bullshit.

It's pretty strawberry floating obvious that James Bond is just a codename. What, the same guy had an intelligence officer/one man A Team career spanning 50 years in which he experienced a complete change in appearance every now and again?

It's not been established either way in the film universe, so therefore as far as the films go it's the same bloke. Silly? Yes. Frankly I'm shocked the studio weren't in favour of the Connery cameo, think of the marketing potential for them to mine by getting previous Bonds in new films.

Basically, I just think of it as the same guy, but every new bond actor is essentially a mini reboot.

Something Fishy

I thought i'd want to see this but i'm not overly excited and my son doesn't want to at all. I'll wait for DVD then I guess. Hope it has turned out OK.

I decided to watch Spider-Man 3 in preparation for this. I'd honestly forgotten just how gooseberry fool it was. Awful acting and utterly terrible everything else. How they strawberry floated up Venom I have no idea, he should've at least been the size Lizard is in ASM.

PostRe: The Amazing Spider-Man by **Mafro** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:33 pm

Wasn't Venom basically strawberry floated up on purpose by Sam Raimi because of a falling out between him and the studio or something like that?

PostRe: The Amazing Spider-Man by **Cosmo** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:35 pm

I think the studio wanted Venom in the movie but Raimi wasn't a fan. It's something like that anyway.

I rewatched the Spidey trilogy and while they were good for the time they have aged considerably. Spider-man has aged the worst, Peter and MJ are miscast and it's very cheesy. That said the end fight between him and Goblin was amazing. Spider-man 2 is the best of the 3 and 3 is an absolute train-wreck. I was hoping it'd be like Iron man 2 where it isn't as bad as I remember....it was. Total mess of a film...which is a shame as it has it moments. The Birth of Sandman is such an amazing moment. Plot holes, retcons and cheese make it unwatchable.

Neither MJ or Peter are miscast in the first one. The poorness of the third has prejudiced a few people against the whole trilogy and maguire in particular. I thought he made a great spidey in the first two. His interplay with MJ is nice and gently flirty in the first one. Nothing wrong with it.

I, too, watched the Spider-Man trilogy again recently. 1 is incredibly dated, 2 is alright (but still has some really jarring moments) and 3 I'm convinced Raimi was trying to cock up on purpose. There's literally nothing good about that film (apart from Bryce Dallas Howard looking hot :wub:

).
New one looks decent though.

If they'd just gone with the hobgoblin and Sandman it would have been fine.

PostRe: The Amazing Spider-Man by **chalkitdown** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:44 am

No, it wouldn't.

PostRe: The Amazing Spider-Man by **Cosmo** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:47 am

One villain would've been enough.

It's actually a lot worse than I remember. I'm surprised I made it through to the end.

PostRe: The Amazing Spider-Man by **Cosmo** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:51 am

Does Harry have two types of Pumpkin bomb as well? He only gets a little burned by one that explodes right next to his face, while Eddie Brock gets disintegrated by another one.

And why did Peter believe Flint's story at the end? He could've said anything because the two people who could confirm it wound up dead.
