'Amazing Spider-Man' Not Much Fun- Here’s a cool idea for a movie: Teenage dweeb Peter Parker weathers the taunts and pokes of high-school bullies until one day he’s bitten by some kind of magical spider and starts shooting sticky webs out of his hands and scampering up walls and…
Oh, wait—we’ve already seen this movie. Ten years ago, in Sam Raimi’s opening installment of the first Spider-Man series....
Will The Amazing Spider-Man suck up millions over the long Fourth of July weekend? Sure. So did the goopy Spider-Man 3—even though that film wound up tanking the first Spidey series.

I did. i thought it was really good. I didn't expect to like it,but I did.Sure,the basics of the origin were the same,but I thought it had better characterization than the first Raimi flick and the action was good.So yeah.I reccommend people going to see it.

The pic chosen to represent this article for the Frontpage banner is further evidence of G-Pussy's in-the-closet-status. Someone please love him so he'll finally know what happiness is. MEM? Anyone? The pic makes it looks like Nowie and spidey know each other.

Went to see this with a group of Spiderman fan-tards yesterday (I was forced).
I got to the point where unkie Ben went into his "obligation" rant before I decided I couldn't take it anymore. I walked out and went across the hall to watch the last half of Avengers.

I wasn't planning on seeing it anyway but, when my Sex and the City loving step-mom started gushing about it...well, that pretty much closed the door on me even renting it with an open mind.

saw this last week. it was in 3d, which i loathe, but unlike every other 3d movie, the entire thing could be watched without the glasses. no 2d blurriness, except in a handful of moments. so that was a nice perk.
i think i enjoyed it more than any of the first three spideys, but its difficult to say how much i actually liked it because it was so friggin similar to the first three spideys. it felt much more like when you watch a remastered version of indiana jones and the temple of doom; familiar, but neato! so many scenes felt shot-for-shot similar.
but, i liked garfield better than tobey. i liked that they kept him in high school rather than moving right along. i liked that there were more scenes without the power-rangers, everyone-pantomime-in-masks effect.
i probably would have loved it much more, and thought it much more amazing, if i didn't just see it years ago. but it was still fun.

I enjoyed it, but too close after the Raimi Tobey trilogy. (I know the legal reasons.) Not found of having a build up for Green Goblin again, but if it means they'll have Hobgoblin later...
... Though Hobgoblin isn't that interesting without The Rose, and for the Rose they'll need Kingpin.... I hope Sony gets Kingpin, and Marvel will be forced to use another villain for Daredevil.

Two more 'Spider-Man' sequels coming
It looks like "The Amazing Spider-Man" has a few more webs to sling.
Sony Pictures' Chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, Jeff Blake, announced the dates for two more 'Spider-Man' sequels - and the schedule extends into 2018.
"The Amazing Spider-Man," the 2012 reboot of the series (which followed three Sam Raimi-directed films in the 2000s) took in over $750 million at the worldwide box office last year. Production is already under way in New York on "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," set for release on May 2, 2014.
Banking on the success of the new series, the studio has plans for a third film to be released on June 10, 2016, followed by the fourth installment, scheduled for May 4, 2018.
" 'Spider-Man' is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise," Blake said in a statment. "We're thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years."
Chances are Spidey fans worldwide are nodding their heads in agreement.

I actually liked amazing spider man, much to my surprise. Not as much as Raimi's first but based on it's own merits it was pretty good.

Yeah it was a good movie. Just too close to the other versions.

Nope, Dave. Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man.

and have just announced several more sequels, so am not sure Dave understands what sunk like a stone means.
Personally despite my initial fears that they were going all emo twilight bullshit from the trailers, I think this is my favourite Spidey movie as Garfield just seems to get the role more than Maguire did.

I just hope they don't bring in Odie and Nermal as sidekicks.

Spider-man really hates Mondays.

...as Rob's favorite superhero: - In an interview with Entertainment Weekly released on Wednesday, The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield suggested that he’d like to play Peter Parker as a young man exploring his bisexuality. According to Garfield, he told producer Matt Tolmach that he’d like MJ – Mary Jane – to be a boy. “I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ,” he said. “And I was like, ‘What if MJ is a dude?’ Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It’s hardly even groundbreaking!…So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys?”

I think you're watching the wrong movie or reading the wrong comic if you're always thinking about spider-man's gender preference. It doesn't matter if he's gay or straight when he's punching crime in the face (unless the criminal looks like Channing Tatum).

also, first they turned him black, then they're going to make him BI. Is there something about Spider-Man that people always want to push their own agenda by modifying the character?
I've never heard of any actor or writer try to drastically change Superman or Batman in terms of the the core things that defined the characters.
