Looks bad in my opinion. First off it's stylized in a way that's... not Spiderman. Second off the guy looks like an Emo or someone that belongs in one of those stupid Vampire movies and not like a nerd.
Meh, it's not bad, but I like the Tobey McGuire Spiderman costume much better.
Of course the lighting wasn't that good in the pic and it looked like it may have been just after a fight.
As far as McGuire not doing the new movie. . . Last I heard it was a do-over from the start. They didn't want him to do it because it's set back in Spidey's school days and he's to old for that now.
Yup, that's right a re-boot of a popular movie IP, which happens to be only nine years old. I'm not expecting much, but I reserve judgement until it's out.
Did you see The Social Network? He played Eduardo Saverin - who was naive, optimistic, and provided the moral core to the film. That film had a lot of great performances but Eduardo stole the scenes with his earnestness.
I Like it...and this isnt going to be Spiderman 4...they are starting a Reboot of him in High School
Yes. . . see my post above.
At any rate that's what worries me a bit. I'm half expecting it to follow something similar to the Eclipse formula since that's done so well in recent times for whatever reason. . . Guess you can't underestimate the lonely girl demographic.
But then doesn't everyone want to see a brooding Spiderman who shoots sparkly webs everywhere?

you've never seen Andrew Garfield in a film before?
No I haven't, but I'm not actually saying anything about the actor himself, just my concerns over what the movie may be like.
You can put the best actors in a film, but if the plot and script sucks their skills aren't going matter one bit. . . it'll still be a bad movie.
That's true I suppose.
Honestly, too soon to tell. Not a fan of the linoleum outfit (since it's a reboot taking place in high school). However, if it focuses on that time period, Garfield plays the naive, uncompromising, hopeful type well - which is what Peter Parker was (during the formative years).
Let's face it, almost every movie about everything has been made already. The only sort of thing that hasn't been done is when Earth's Armed Forces ransack the galaxy, kill alien men and put the alien women into sex slavery.

But that's hardly gonna happen, is it? :rolleyes:
Enterprise's Mirror Universe two-parter fits that bill actually.
I think the costume looks fine. I think it just looks off in that picture cuz it looks like he just got done fighting something that obviously clawed up his suit a bit (see: The Lizard). Which probably explains why the suit looks grungy and perhaps why the red belt on the suit is missing at the moment. Also, if the keen eye looks at Spidey's wrists you can see what look to be MECHANICAL WEB SHOOTERS.
Personally I'm stoked about a reboot because I thought the original 3 Spider-Man movies are grossly overrated. Toby M. couldn't go 5 minutes without taking his mask off to get face time and Sam Raimi is an absolute hack as a writer and director. Spider-Man 3 pretty much verified all of the problems I had with the previous movies before it.
Plus with the few details that are coming out about the reboot movie it sounds better already. The movie has no Mary-Jane and features Gwen Stacy instead (for fans of the original comics, you know what this leads to... a scene that Sam Raimi utterly ruined in the original movie), The Lizard is finally getting face time, they're building up Green Goblin a little more properly, and they're also going to try and parallel some of the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man stuff a little too.
Yeah, they're rebooting something thats popular. It might not work but it might work too. It worked for Batman and Star Trek.
Now it's come about different ways. In one way a kid who develops Spider-like powers just HAPPENS upon the technology. Ignores the fact that it would be awesome for police use and keeps it to himself. I hate HUGE coincidences like that.
Or in one version he just plain was so super intelligent that he invented them himself after thinking "hey, I got spider powers but no web, why don't I make some?"
Freakin' stupid as fudge. Organic web shooters all the way.
Plus, compared to other fantasy techs the technology is just so outlandish. The ability to hold like a pill sized amount of liquid to create such massive amounts of webbing? IronMan's armor is probably 100x more realistic even with all of it's problems (like Jetpack feet). :P
At least with organic shooters he can hold this miracle liquid that turns to web in his much bigger than pill sized body.
Ahahahahah! Oh boy, whoever came up with that costume ...
Looks nothing like The Spiderman, but I guess "reboots" are hip this decade - and how could you reimagine things without totally TRIBBLE over the original? :rolleyes:

I hate the tech web shooters. They suck.
You do realize the reason he knows how to make the web fluid is because the spider passed the knowledge of it to Parker via the spider-bite? The mechanical web shooters are so much better because they show how smart Pete is supposed to be (something the other movies did nothing for) and they give him the extra weakness of "oh **** i'm out of web fluid", which is essentially his equivalent to running out of bullets and having no more clips.
Pete's web-shooter tech is ALOT more grounded than any other tech in the Marvel universe. Compare it to Tony Stark's power source for the iron man suit which has a single power source that produces far more energy then it consumes, and is a seemingly infinite power source. Or compare it to ANYTHING Reed Richards makes. Richards makes something rediculously over the top and can pretty much just say "i used magic to help make it" and that's all the explanation you get for his trans-dimensional-scientific-portal-device.
Organic web shooters are stupid because they take away one of the defining characteristics of Peter Parker, and they are an extremely lazy cop out for writers. Also, organic webbing was supposed to be something the Black Suit/Venom had as an advantage, it also takes that away from him too.

It matters on the version of Spiderman. But yeah, that's more ridiculous. Spiders don't have any real knowledge. Especially not of how to make freakin' webs. They just do it via their biology.
It's like getting the knowledge of how to hibernate from a bear. Or getting the knowledge of how to lay eggs from a duck. It's as stupid as it gets and can be explained effectively by making it biological in origin.
Peter's web shooters are NOT "a lot" (two words) more grounded than other tech. Infinite power sources aren't something new to comics and they're a lot more believable in a comic world than a liquid that has the magic ability to turn into a solid with 1000000x the mass.
As for Richards, he's ridiculous too. I'm not saying there' snot other ridiculous stuff in Marvel. Just that the mechanical shooters are one of 'em.
Organic web shooters are great because they give a far more plausible explanation of how they could possibly exist. They don't give this crappy character flaw that the mechanical ones do (that being he's a selective genius). It's just plain BAD writing.
The only reason people like the mechanical shooters is because they're used to it. They're used to the horrible logic. The bad writing. The ridiculousness of it all and refuse to change their minds because they hate change.
The problem with the organic webshooters is if we were to properly follow the spider analog, then Peter would have to shoot webbing from an orafice near his butt.

Seens that the Spiderman movies are dead now.... Spiderman 4 is going to suck it seems
Well it was obvious it was going down hill when the main actor says no to another movie haha. :rolleyes:
Of course the lighting wasn't that good in the pic and it looked like it may have been just after a fight.

he's actually quite talented.

Haha a TRIBBLE load of super hero movies are goign to be released this year and next year.
Forgot where I read this but 2011 is allegedly the "Year of the Geek."
Looks nothing like The Spiderman, but I guess "reboots" are hip this decade - and how could you reimagine things without totally TRIBBLE over the original? :rolleyes:
