Your friendly neighborhood SPIDER-MAN has you doing a double-take with his new posters!!!

Where do I get me one of them?

But I am in Oz...

Damn! I'm third. But yeah, it's nice.

Never shall I yell First again. Nah, I'm liking the duality, but there can be overkill. I wonder what's up with that green tinge to the second one also.

Why the brown tinge on #2? Anyway, they look pretty good.

for a double poster!

but I want to see a purely Venom one. If only Venom could beat Spidey in this, shame they'll never let that happen.

Make it the same color scheme as the first and it'll be sweet. The tint in the second one is so dim as well...

I like these new Spider-Man posters very much. I'm not one to go all silly and get over-excited for a film, but I really can't wait to see this one. Also, since it turns out there is no Britney sex tape, what else am I going to look forward to?

Top selling action figure this Christmas!!!

Damn

Yacking about the boring poster, but no mention that the new Spiderman 3 Trailer is out and about? http://www.spiderman.com/videos/Spider-Man_3_Trailer

Of films is set in stone now and I don't like that. There is the origin story. There is the stressed-out love entanglement with the renunciation for a time of the hero role but ultimately taking it up again, sacrificing personal libido. There is the battle with the inner demon. There is the descent into farce. Marvel is one movie away from the farce movie with both Spidey and Blade. Maybe declaring trilogies at the outset without even having scripts for the last two really does make some sense.

I didn't even know there was spiderman 2

As much as I enjoy the Spider-Man films, it's odd how much they've taken from the Superman series. Now that Spidey is going evil for part 3, all we need now is confirmation that Chris Rock has been cast as a computer genius (his very hilarious drunk scene should be in the next trailer, I think).

Spiderman 2 came out around the same time as 'Halloweentown High'. The IMDB describes it as "Another hit in the Halloweentown trilogy!". It was a triumph in the marrying of storytelling and visual effects. http://us.imdb.co m/title/tt0414078/

hey flex you happenin baby

how they did the reflection, because the lighting hits on the right side of spidey's head in both and in the reflection you'd expect to see the palm of his hand and not the outside. not sure why they did this. it's like two sitting back to back than one being in the reflection of a building window.

And damn kevinwillis.net... where the hell've you been? 2 weeks ago?

har har har. This movie will suck balls like the last two.

as the original poster for the first Spider-man. You know, the one with the WTC reflecting in his eyes?

good ideas for the marketing campaign.

this movie should be pretty dang cool. i love the posters. that venom "roar" or "howl" or "scream" at the end of the leaked trailer pretty much made me pee my pants. it was perfect! i cant wait! i cant wait! lets see what nerdy-eddie brock can do!

Cool poster but just spraying his suit black is still gay. At least change it up a bit, even if you dont go for the full on white spider wraparound like in the less gay comic version.

the new trailer was linked from here like a week ago. Where ya been buddy?

these could alter the very fabric of imagination itself. zzzzzzz.

now, why are we all going apeshit over a poster? Really, I just don't understand. It doesn't really reveal anything else other than the second one being, as one described it, a R. Kelly piss color scheme?... When are they going to give us the good looking trailer back with Venom inside! Where's the good stuff?... Can't wait for the movie but I think they're overkilling it with fu**ing posters.. Look a papermache figurine of Spiderman in the black suit... I mean c'mon guys... Let's see a real poster, One that actually shows Spidey in action against Sandman, Venom and Harry (not the Potter kid, the Osborne one... Good god, no... not the Osborne has in the tv reality show with Ozzy, the Norman Osborne one...)... will wait for the movie before coming back to see another posts with the word "poster" in it...

Hey, why didn't they make a poster for each of the sixteen villains in this movie?

I sure hope seeing the dark two-sided inner battles of well known heroes gets interesting again. Maybe when they do it for Indiana Jones. Or Superman. Or Wolverine. Or Harry Potter. Or Bridget Jones. New theme please.

That's why it's so dark. The first one's authentic, so I don't understand what's up with the second silly one. What would be the point of just reversing the Spideys?

That's kinda weak. Conceptually it might seem like a good idea, but in practice, nope, just doesn't work. I liked the previous teaser poster better.

I kind of like that poster and don't feel like getting ass fucked on ebay for it.

Boy that feels good! And SM3 is going to rule!

My guess is that Sony removed the Venom from the trailer so that we don't have unrealistic expectations. I would guess that this movie will get into the duality theme: Red/Black Spidey Tobey/Topher (who was originally considered for the lead role) Mary Jane/Gwenn. Venom will be born at the end and I think Spider-Man 4 will be the big battle with Venom. I'm guessing 3 will wrap up the whole Goblin2 thread. Maybe MJ will die, who knows. But us Venom-fans should not get our hopes up about a Venom film. I think Sony is just saving us from a big old geek-bitch-fest. And about the "dark side" having to be in every movie--I think with Spidey it came naturally out of the source material. The best bad-guys are 1. GG 2. Doc Oc 3. Venom. What else are you going to do with Venom? I think at the end of this movie we will ALL be eager to see 4.

the reflection DOES seem a bit off. If these are the real deal they're pretty "meh". The second one HAS to be fake.

Mr Nice Gaius, that was genius. too funny!

The second poster is better and makes more sense, but the discoloration ruins it...

Nothing but cheesy popcorn fluff. Give me a real movie goddamit.

It's not an exact reflection. The elbow overlaps in both posters, so you get a hint that it's a battle between good Peter Brady and evil twin Peter Brady. Which will win? Which will dominate? Which will elbow the other out of the way, and inherit all the ancillary royalties?

Or, it is a mirror reflection, and it just looks different because of the angle.

Removed at the request of Sony.

I'm not entirely sure but I think the reason for the two colour schemes is this is actually the two layers for the 'changing-image' poster. It should be both together...

transform>flip horizontal. GAY

I like...you like? ....i know....its old already. Sorry

the spiderman in the window has the top of his hand showing, whereas it should be the underside... but whatever... i'm assuming it's a conscious decision. In any case, this is highly anticipated.

r? The second image is the alternate angle of the same lenticular poster, right? Maybe that accounts for the weirdo colour. Isn't that exactly what Quint was getting at or did absolutely no-one read the actual post?

looks like a dodge photoshop job... the more you look at it the more amaeteurish it appears.

And just as I post I see yours. Sorry. I think you're right and the others are insane, like Retroactive. What would be the point? Are you kidding me? You do know what the movie's about, right?

Did any of you ask yourselves WHY it wouldn't be a simple reflection, and more like two linked but separate entities? I could very well be talking out my arse here (in which case I'm in good company) but God forbid any of you should recognise a metaphor when you see it. Talk about lowest common denominator!

I hate to say it, but the series jumps the shark here. This seems to be the Marvel Movie pattern: good first one, great second one, ruinous third one. That said, I'm looking forward to FF3 with Annihilus and the Mole Man!

isn't even a fucking sentence. What sort of education do these marketing people have anyw.... oh, never mind.

"Spidey Good. Spidey Baaaaad. Spideys Fight. Battle Within."

Are both his legs folded to one side of his body?

Are all over the place compared to each other and the ledge Spidey is squatting on.

I was looking to see if the general angle of light distortion on reflective glass surface could account for the non-direct reflection being slightly awkward looking. But then I realised that I really don't care that much about a handdrawn spidey poster after all. Still - better than a floating heads legal 'everybody's face in shot contract' poster.

Exactly, Auraboy. Better than floating heads. And don't forget the little running guy with a gun down the bottom. Preferably in duotone. They obviously thought it was more important to engage the viewer by also having the reflection's head looking at us rather than looking somewhere off-poster (which technically would be accurate) and leading the eye back out of the frame, and as I said before God forbid there should be a storytelling aspect to a poster. Sometimes these things are done on purpose. Too bad there are a million so-called photoshop experts who unfortunately don't get subtext unless it slaps them in the face. I'm surprised there wasn't a revolt over the reflection shot in the teaser.

Ha ha.

Howard The Duck 2...where the evil black alien goo covers Howard the Duck...and from white, he becomes black, like Daffy Duck! The battle within...Chris Cornell can cover Michael 'the freak' Jackson's Black or White song for the theme! Rocking! Oh and as for Spiderman 3....one and half hour building the relationship between Mary and Peter, bringing in Gwen for distraction, Brock for confict...sandman is just a subplot...the relationship with the ladies and of course "the darkness within" is the main plot...Harry and the Goblin is the storyline to be finished...and Venom? The final scene...10 mins long...all anger and scary scary...next movie, Venom kills Gwen, Mysterio turns up, Spiderman 4 rakes in opening weekend of $125 million....lottery numbers this week 1 22 34 25 3...world war 3 starts 2017...Anti-Christ appears 2015...Turkey for dinner this weekend...my Third Eye now rests...

Nice poster. Anyone notice what's reflected in the eyes?

Dollar signs.

then dont go to them. either way. Quit yer whining. Young Homer: When I grow up I want to be president. Abe: this is the greatest country in the world and we have laws to prevent people like you from becoming president now quit youre day dreaming melon head. Just like the way they have laws to prevent talkbackers from becoming studio execs.

just before he reveals himself to Mary Jane. There is scene where doc ock pummels peter and leaves him under a pile of rubble. Parker Snaps and we see how powerful Peter Can be when he gets very very angry indeed. The black suit allows parker to bring all his anger, rage, bitterness and frustration to the fore and therefore becoming a much more powerful adversary but parker is also reckless. IN the last movie he gave up being Spiderman only to return because lure of power was to great. Power mixed with anger is dangerous combination. Marvel announced it is putting intp production the spiderman issue where his identity is reveled.

All nerds given the opportunity of superpowers is going to have rage issues. I mean, especially for Spiderman, who has to deal with his awkwardness, money troubles and the fact that so many people hate him even when he's trying to be heroic. Watching a good guy get pissed off and lose it is always fun. Parker behind the mask is quite comical, because it lets him be who he thinks he is away from geekdom. So the idea of a darker mask letting even more subliminal urges fight out is perfect movie fodder. It could be quite a nice juxtaposition to Batman Begins. One has a hero who wants to be feared. One has a hero who wants to be accepted but, with the black suit/symbiote has the ability instill fear too. I guess the central story will be around Parker trying to overcome his own dark side. It's a pretty basic metaphor but then it is a comic book action movie not arthouse.

I guess you're one of those types that confuse being the most powerful nation in the world for being the 'greatest' and jingoism for patriotism. <p> I keed because I love, but getting back on topic I hope there's no hamfisted shit like the 911 bit in the first one that derailed the storytelling and flow of the sequence. I'm just worried because of the blatant chest-thumping shot where he lands in front of the flag. WTF. I'm suprised he didn't salute it as a tear escapes from under his lenses.

I meant the stupid "You mess with all of us" bit in the first movie, and being worried about the blatant flag bit in the latest trailer for the 3rd movie. Even the end of the first movie with the flagpole was sort of in context, but this, phew! Maybe this is so they don't have to worry about Captain America.

Actually I think there was a Hollywood edict that all movies after 9/11 had a 'New Yorkers together' moment. Although it didn't bother me so much in Spiderman because I think, oddly, it makes him more part of the city life, rather than an imaginary imposition. Cheesy - yes, hateful - no. As for the flag shots and that Chad Kroeger song from the first one - that should all be abolished.

Tonight they were showing Spidey 2 on fox, and kept talking about 3 at commercial breaks and such. One of the little moments had that same flash of Venom from the trailer. It was a blink and you'll miss it thing, but definitely there.

but it is SPIDER-MAN, not SPIDERMAN. It isn't just my pet peeve... it's Stan Lee's too.

i can see them making a poster of venom's mouth oped wide and just have the 3 in his mouth i guess
