Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
I dunno, I find the lizard-man thing a little silly. I don't think I'll buy it in the movie.
This is one of those characters that Nolan would have steered away from, realizing its too hard to make it believeable.
But maybe the tone of the new SpiderMan will make me a believer. If its more of a fantasy/adventure type thing like Avengers rather than the old hard-boiled Nolan gloom.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
^ Why the hell would Spider-Man be like a Nolan movie? That's just...no.
Spider-Man HAS to be fantastical. It has to be unrealistic. Otherwise, what's the point?
It's just Kick-Ass with a guy in a red and blue suit who can do gymnastics.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Agree to some extent. It's just as far-fetched that a God would ride a rainbow bridge to earth.
I think it's the environment. (both in Raimi's and this new version) is what gave spidey that "realistic" feeling. Though, this one is taking that a bit farther with the web shooters etc.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Why are you face palming?
I said if the movie WASN'T fantastical, and was a realistic edgy take on Spidey, he wouldn't have any powers. He'd just be a dopy kid who can flip around.
Which...is bad. He needs powers. Powers are good.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
I just don't get the fascination with wanting comic book movies to be "real." The whole point of comics and superheroes is escapist fantasy. It's like wanting to take the Ents out of Lord of the Rings or something.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
I have no idea what the tone of this new version is but from the few stills I've seen it looked like they were going a more realistic route than Raimi did. Not to Nolan levels, but still... maybe too 'real' for a comic book character in red and blue tights.

Seriously. I like the Lizard. He's a cool fantastical badguy that will be a fun character to watch. Especially with Rhys at the helm.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
The only thing that could be considered realistic is the webbing, but that doesn't make much sense, and probably couldn't be done in real life. But it's also from the comics, so it's not a new idea. Just new to the film world.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
theres a difference between realistic and grounded. spiderman doesnt have to be realistic, but he should be grounded in a reality.
do you consider x-1, x-2 fantastical too? cause guys who shoot lasers from their eyes sure as hell aint realistic.....

Grounded is fine. They were talking about realistic. I don't want that.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Realistically while I like the Nolan Batmans I'm sick of everything trying to mimic it. Grounded in reality fine but these are comic book movies were we have to suspend our beliefs to believe in the heroes (Batman included) and to cut out some villains, even the most notable just because its not realistic enough is silly. Nolan was silly for doing it (can you imagine how awesome it would have been to see Killer Croc or Mr. Freeze done by Nolan, the guy can do Inception, a complete mind cluster____ where stuff happens that makes those guys tame but he can't extend that to a superhero flick?) but it's his story to start and finish and that's where it should end.
I'm glad for the removal of the cheese, glamour and glitz like Batman and Robin but we don't need these things to become so realistic that they lose the awesome fantasy base.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
I agree, that was what I was trying to say in my post -- that I feared they were going the Nolan route but with a weird Lizard-man.
I prefer my action/adventure superheroes a little lighter and less melodramatic.
