Several Minutes of SPIDER-MAN 3 - Spoiler Scene in HD!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Stayed home to catch tonight's episode of HEROES - I really can't stand the concept of waiting till sometime towards the end of next month to see the next episode. That's just fucked. They should have 52 episodes a year of that show goddamn it! Anyway - they had a brief glimpse at SPIDER-MAN 3 during a commercial break and a far longer sequence online at NBC.COM. However, when I tried to look at it the way they wanted me to - I kept getting nothing - so I peeked around and found the below solid link, and then downloaded it to my desktop so I could watch it. I suggest you do the same. Here ya go... BUT warning - there's a spoiler scene here. It kicks all sorts of ass - but its a spoiler - and it might only be online for the next 22 hours or so. So catch it if you can...

AND THIS RULES!!! NICE!!
-
YUM!!! IN A SHOOTOUT NO LESS!!! I WAS THERE!!! AND CAROL ALT SAT IN FRONT OF ME AND SHE IS STILL HOT AT 42!!!
-
for spidey 3
-
Just wondering: what are your thoughts on FF2? Did you like the first one? I honestly forget. (NO sarcasm intended.)
-
By your command.
-
cause nbc.com is useless when it comes to this video.
-
Only one man can bring lasting glory to the Spider-Man franchise; Uwe Boll. That's right friends! No other director will lift the series into infamy. In 30 years these current "Spider-Man" stoires will fade into obscurity. To avoid this the studio must take charge and chance with Uwe in creating three more Spidey movies: Spider-Man 4: Gator Bait (with guest direcot Tim Burton), Spidey Vs. Predataliens, Spider-Man & the Silky Sheets: A One Act Told in Four Parts by Uwe BOll and the sure to be perennial classic Gieco Insurance Presents The Spider-Man Christmas Special Spectacular: The North Pole Siege.
-
Thanks for the link, Harry. Without it, those folks at nbc.com would have us waiting for hours!
-
you'll love the piss outta this.
-
that Sam Raimi was directing the next Spy Kids movie....gah!
-
SPOILERS***** My dad recently passed away, and seeing Aunt May and Peter relive his death... and how May and Ben got together... That made me start crying. Jesus, this film's going to kill me.<p>And then the fight started, and my breath got taken away...
-
How hot is Aunt May in that scene?
-
gotta eat...
-
Wow, the action kicked all kinds of ass! But it just seemed too dark to see what's going on (stupid night fight scenes with people wearing dark clothes!). Love that half second look at a certain character.
-
She dated Greschner, and that was 28 years ago now. What was she then, 14?
-
So....does this make Harry Osbourne the Spiderman version of Elektra?
-
Where was Uncle Ben? What's that? He's dead?! Damn, warn us when there's gonna be spoilers!
-
Some truly wretched blue screen work. Oh, and then there's the acting. Fucking embarrassing.
-
I was hoping for a little bit more GG in this film, but it looks like mostly Sandman judging from that scene. Maybe if the GG part is that small we will see more of Venom than we originally thought.
-
It's been six years since they set to work on the CGI models for the main characters and they still look like sex dolls floating through a badly textured Grand Theft Auto map.
-
...just before what would have been his fiftieth wedding anniversary. So Aunt May's speech kinda got to me too...
-
... the first actually glimpse of Venomn? it's kind of cool how you can see through him.
-
That happens on occasion in the books, so nice to see Raimi doing it on screen for once. I do like that he did have him say "I hate those things" as the pumpkin blades fly towards him.
-
Harry went bonkers and sought vengence for his father's death as the Green Goblin back around 1975 if I remember right...Elektra wasn't even a glimmer in Frank Miller's eye then. Unless you mean that after trying to kill Peter Harry becomes his lover...
-
Damn, that was fucking badass. Every single one of you tweener fucks will have you ass in a seat come May 4th, so take your bitching and cram it.
-
Jeesh, they write themselves.
-
Had to turn it off- too much too soon. But it looks rad. Can't wait til May!
-
I'm stoked for this movie! Now more then before! That fight wasn't too short and it wasn't too long. Perfect length IMHO.
-
What kind of Spider-Man movie is this supposed to be?!
-
I think it's creepy to "hang out" on the web when not in costume. It's not cute at all.
-
I hope this is early in the movie, 'cause XTREME GOBLIN is the one plot thread I want to see the least of.
-
Fuck me that was 7 shades of cool
-
Can you give a better comparison? Or are you haters just bitching because you either 1) Hate being wrong about the movie, being as good as it is. Or 2) have nothing else in your sad pathetic lives that you want to bring everyone else down with you? How do you morons call yourself "geeks" in anyway?
-
I bet another ten years before there is a COMPLETELY realistic CGI double in a hollywood flick.
-
There already is. Nicole Kidman is not human. Nobody is built that way. And they still haven't got her voice right. It's all over the map.
-
Seriously. Did that ring not ignore the laws of gravity or what? Even with decompressed time, that thing should've hit the ground long before he caught it. Nitpicky to be sure, but DAMNNNN...
-
Do you think this is an allusion to Lord of the Rings? Wow...
-
I hate the Power Rangers Goblin.
-
JUST KIDDING.
-
Sure there's a lot wrong, but if I had to allocate money from the budget and had to pick between 1 or 2 really well done CGI sequences shots versus a ton of crazy fun action sequences with lesser quality CGI that will have me jumping up and down in my seat, I'd pick the latter! It's fucking Spider-Man! Not a realistic historical re-enactment of the greatest battle ever in the history of mankind. The guy sticks to walls and shoots webbing from his wrists at a guy on a board that just doesn't seem aerodynamically feasible... why don't we complain about that too and how getting bitten by radioactive spiders doesn't give you super powers. No one gave a shit about realistic physics in the first two movies, and they aren't going to give a shit about them now...
-
Damn that sounds filthy.
-
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000745/ Says she was born in 1960. So she's 47. I guess I was being cordial in giving her 5 years.
-
a shame because I think Franco is one of the better actors here. Sad to say, but I don't think this will top the last and I'm actually sort of weary of Maguire and Dunst's lethargic Peter and Mary Jane at this point.
-
There's gonna be a little bit of special visual effects, including **GASP** computer generated imagery. There's also people flying around the sky wearing tights. Why does that work for you? Go home. Everybody, go home. Neck Boy go home now.
-
Funny, I think I saw that whole sequence in a similar form way back in Back to the Future 2. And Johnno, the FX, while it has gotten a bit better, still sucks. Accept it. Fox should've gone to ILM or WETA where they would have gotten some seriously more realistic FX for their overblown 200 million budget.
-
I'm just glad Mary Jane dies, a wasted character, all reaction, no 'feeling'.
-
SAME HERE DUDE, LOST MY DAD TWO YEARS AGO, AND I STILL HEAR MY MUM TALKED ABOUT DAD AND IT BREAKS MY HEART.. SO YEAH THAT SCENE GOT ME CHOKED UP TOO, AND IN OTHER NEWS, NICE FUCKING BATTLE SEQUENCE, IM SO THERE AT THE MIDNIGHT SCREENING
-
buys you a lot of silly string.
-
And Hulk Hogans latest round of surgery has better effects.
-
It needs to be noted how huge a spoiler this is...but awesome....
-
How can they tell she's dead in this one?
-
nough said....
-
I don't want to see another comic book/ superhero/ anime adapted film ever in my life until they perfect CGI and get it to be photorealistic and as cheap and easy to animate and render as quickly as possible. It may never happen in my lifetime, but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make never to see my favourite superheroes realized on the big screen until they do so in a time where all the aforementioned is possible and the newer generation of people won't care as much for it as I do... Let's start an online petition!
-
a bore as Parker, too. This movie does not look fun at all, it looks dark and depressing. They never even gave Spidey a chance to have fun - it's the most morose take on the character, ever.
-
Who says Harry's dead? Is this the first movie you've seen? Remember, ET died too. So did Jesus. And they're okay now! Oh, poor ET, fall down go boom? Oh, poor Jesus, died for our sins on the cross? Oh, Harry Goblin Peter don't die! Harry! I love you like a brother! Now give me some of that money!
-
Peters whole life is a fucking pain, I'm surprised he hasn't fed himself to a cat by now.
-
How can you bitch about what you just saw? That fight scene was, by far, the best fight I've seen in any superhero movie, ever. And after what I saw in SM2, I know Raimi can handle theme, character, and humor. That shit handed me my own ass, and it's not even the climax of the movie. I cannot wait for this shit.
-
TAKE IT YOU ARE NOT A FAN OF THE FIRST TWO MOVIES?
-
For one, you could actually see what the fuck was going on.
-
And that's only three years from now. Imagine if Cameron succeeds in creating a fully realized photorealistic actor for less or an equal amount of money, you just could not come back to this without seeing each and every flaw. Hell, I see them now.
-
... Guys, the quality here has ZERO to do with money or technical limitations. As a CG professional myself, I can tell you that what you're looking at is simply an issue of compressed post-production scheduling. Given adequate time, most of these houses could pump out visuals that'd make your collective heads spin. Unfortunately, Hollyweird screws them over with unrealistic scheduling. It's so bad that some of these guys burn out after just a couple of flicks. BTW, a photorealistic CG double is way closer than you'd think. Not even the 10 years that somebody above proposed. There's been some groundbreaking work in the field of accelerated rendering and material sampling for skin. Fascinating stuff with kaleidescope lenses (seriously). If you don't see this tech appear in movies within the next 2 or 3 years I'd be surprised. As for the physics of these fight scenes... So what if they're wonky. It's a comic book movie. You've got to stretch your imagination some. I was only irked by the hang time of the ring because it just stuck out so much more than any of the other gravity defying antics.
-

and had some humor. It also did not have a Power Ranger Goblin. I just want Spidey to cut loose and have fun? I want to see him tormenting the Rhino. What's the point of dark, dark, dark when it's Spidey?
-
...on a little screen. Go see it in the movies, in context. It'll be a whole lot more fun. Besides, you won't be sitting with your hand in your underoos (I hope) like you are now. And when the movie ends with Peter Parker swinging on a beam of the Freedom Tower, that'll be your cue to vomit.
-
Give the kids a break, huh? Their antidepressants haven't kicked in yet. Poor little darlings. And with school tomorrow, as well! Such a shame.
-
performances are very flat!
-
In Too Passionate Too Messianic. Either that CGI a few Jews in.
-
a Terminator.
-
Didn't Aunt May look hot?
-
Period. Wow. My goodness this film is going to be bananas!!!!
-
competently make a Spider-Man film really isn't the issue at this point. The tone is all wrong.
-
Now stop touching yourself. You're making me feel unclean.
-
Not a blacker than black.
-
the characters slit their wrists in the first film!
-
I SEE YOUR POINT, BUT TO ME, THE MOVIES JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, AND IM NOT A FAN OF THE SPIDER-MAN COMICS, MAYBE THATS WHY IT DOESNT BOTHER ME THAT MUCH THAT HE IS NOT THE WISECRAKING DUFFUS WE SEE IN THE COMICS (ALTHOUGH IT WOULDNT HURT TO SEE SOME OF IT ON SCREEN)... I PRETTY MUCH LOVE THE MOVIES BECAUSE IM A BIGGER SAM RAIMI FAN AND THE MAN KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER A FUN ACTION PACKED MOVIE
-
Two One - BANG That was the sound of superhero films going out of favour for the next five to ten years.
-
What about it exactly? Is it the awful Kirsten Dunst Mary Jane? Or maybe it's Maguires two dimensional ubernerd Peter Parker. I'm not sure if Raimi is aware thata fter high school Parker actually becomes a pretty cool well rounded guy. Maybe it's the retarded revisionist X-Games take on Harry Osbourne. I don;t know what int he blue hell Raimi is going for here but it isn't half as cool as the Green Goblin, even the power rangers version. Then again I doubt James Franco has it in him to drop his James Dean Schtick hes been doing for years and actually cut loose as an actor. C'mon guys quit the pandering when it comes to comic book films. It seems like some of you would rather have the filmmakers boring revisions of the characters than the actual comic versions.
-
While I liked the first and loved the second, they still are missing the mark. Spidey is a wisecracking pain in the ass. And he's on the side of the good guys. And he's broke all the time. But mostly, wisecracking pain in the ass. When do we get THAT Spidey? Maybe when Jim Jarmusch makes a Spider-Man film.
-
Do you think they're trying to stretch it to four films? Not only is the title alliterative, but it plays on the number four, get it! And somewhere in Showbizlandia, someone just got an idea.
-
You're probably quoting that from NVidia, but they were talking about video game consoles and real time graphics rendering. They believe they'll hit photorealism in games 10 years from now, supposedly when Sony plans to ship Playstation 4 if the console gen lasts as long.<br><br>As for general photorealism and film, rsanta74 is right, they're already there! However one of the biggest things that still needs to be there is not the quality of the models or textures or lighting... but animation! Sure, mo-cap helps a great deal, but oftentimes a human animator will have to take control of the rig and do it by hand and clean up or edit mo cap data too. It's those subtlties of movement that can give you away. The only film I've seen thus far reaching so close are the Matrix sequels, and it was often poor animation that people are really noticing and complain about in the films...
-
Can I be in that Avengers flick?
-
I think he's talented, but he is using formula here! That's why I liked Spidey 2 so much because he made such interesting choices.
-
But the CG animation was better acted out than the actors themselves in those worryingly forgotten sequels...
-
But seriously, this movie looks like it might put you over the edge, so I'd avoid!
-
ITS COOL, HE CANT PLEASED MOST FANBOYS/GIRLS.... BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, YOU CANT SAY YOU WERE BORED BY ANY OF HIS FILMS... EITHER BAD OR GOOD, I ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THEM
-
As a Marvel Zombie for 23 out of my 33 years, I can tell you that there have been long stretches where the Spidey books were all dark & broody. It's usually those "done in one" stories where he's light & comical. Most of the time, he's making like Batman with the "Oh, my life suck. Oh, why is everything my fault? Blah Bitch Blah Bitch Blah." While the movies could use some more of his patented one liners, the brooding tone is consistent with the book's past 15-20 years of storytelling. Remember all of the happy go lucky good old days? Stories like "Kraven's Last Hunt" where Spidey was buried alive? What about the "Clone Saga"? It drove Peter nuts enough to bitch slap MJ. How about when Aunt May got shot or the time they thought MJ was dead in a plane explosion? What about the apparent death of Peter's daughter or when his friend/nemesis Flash became a vegetable? Oh... wait... I guess those "good ole days" weren't so happy go luck after all? Let's face it. The Spider-Man books thrive on the fact that every aspect of his life sucks. Raimi's just doing what Raimi does best. Making "Living Dead" and "Batman" rip-offs. j/k =)
-
And we can settle down in May to watch Harry's dream version of Matrix Reloaded, with extra Spidey. I'm still pissed about Harry's review of that flick.
-
People want good films. That's it. Shrek isn't photorealistic and people love it. Don't give me "people know it's a cartoon," because people know movies aren't real either. People fell in love with Yoda and ET, and they both started out with someone's hand up their asses...people want stories, well-told stories. We'll put up with all sorts of bad effects if you hook us with a good yarn. Once you've managed to create a foolproof CG character, so what? What's he going to do without a good story? Byte my pixels and cram your RAM up yer arse.
-
Except for Franco, because his schtick actually works for the Harry character. But Parker actually turned out cute, and sure he's broke and has crap luck, but it never gets him down for long, he's a glass half-full guy despite everything against him. And Maguire just does that stare which PASSED for wonderment in the first movie but now it's known as that "Peter Rides the Short Bus" look!
-
This is what happens when the Academy Award winning team from Spider Man 2 and Lord of the Rings is ditched for a cheaper, crappier alternative. Bring back John Dykstra for the fourth film before Venom is transformed into a rollerblading air-ninja with neon nunchuks...... Or just continue to rake in cash. Sigh. Either way.
-
Please turn your CAPS off. That's considered yelling, and yelling is rude. Thank you.
-
You just nailed how I want to see Venom.
-
I do have THIS to live for, after all.
-
i didnt know anyone would think of me as bitching or yelling.. there, better?
-
Aunt May is NOT hot in high definition.
-
I was born in 1961, and the Spidey I grew up on was a wisecracking smart ass. I stopped reading comic books when I started reading real books, so I don't have a clue about all this "dark" stuff, but quite frankly, if I want drama and tragedy, I'll go to the Russian masters. I go to Spidey for a little whiz bang fun. Oh, and I also have the hots for Aunt May. (I am old, you know.)
-
I can't wait for Roberta Flack's official theme tune.
-
stories and Peter did mope a lot, but you have to admit that his outlet was being Spidey the wiseacre and that is missing in these films! You would also agree that those stories were sandwiched with some good times like tormenting the crap out of Rhino and not back to back in one another. Time passes differently obviously in comic books than in film and I think this version needs a little breathing room. How can you really appreciate the downs when there are no ups? I mean, I was laughing about his luck at almost losing Aunt May's ring because it's freakin' absurd at this pace.
-
just plain sucked. I know the animator who did several of the key Neo related scenes, such as the Burly Man Brawl. The keyraming was well below the standards set by his personal work. This guy's usually quite the animatin' fool. The problem, as I said, was one of time constraints. Quality keyframed animation takes time, something to which both Disney & Pixar can attest. With the 500+ CG shots that most modern popcorn flicks demand, what do you expect? You can't rush it in the limited 3-4 month period some films get. You rush a miracle, you get rotten miracles. =) Plus, with many movies utilizing upwards of 5+ FX houses to meet the deadlines....
-
Thanks!
-
Sorry to be the nerd but 480p is not HD. HD has to be at least 720p.
-
I tried posting my last comment with no text, only a subject line, and it took me to another screen where I could PREVIEW my comment. WHAT!?
-
Doesn't matter what your display is, it's still film resolution.
-
James Franco is a terrible actor. I dare anyone to watch "Flyboys" without slitting your wrists.
-
The first two scenes with MJ and Aunt May were not full of the dark overtones everyone is complaining about. They were kinda sweet, with heart. And before the fight starts, Pete is riding along like a carefree school kid with a big grin on his face. I haven't read a script, but for all I know the opening scene of the movie may be a classic Spidey crime busting episode with zippy wisecracks, bounding acrobatics and creative webbing-up of criminals. Let's hope so, 'cause the rest of this movie is gonna be a downer. Anyway, that fight was nice. It's not "real" looking, but it was real cool looking. I prefer the Ninja Goblin to the Power Ranger Goblin. And it was crystal clear on the HD format for me. If that was too dark try turnimg up your brightness I guess. I especially liked Osborn tipping over the entire brick facade with Pete holding onto it.
-
When they were fighting in the Alley... How did Peter get two hands free to start throwing web balls while still web slinging through the alley??? Hows that work?
-
I read real books too. There's nothing wrong with the weekly does of genre escapism that a comic provides. They're far more mature and topical now then they ever were back in the 60's and 70's. The writing's a whole lot more complex and multi-layered too, attracting Hollywood's best and brightest - not to mention some very well respected authors. There's absolutely no reason for me to be embarrassed by my hobby. Not everything I read has to be the NY Times or James Michener.
-
Or did I just not know about this?
-
BBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I'M BEEGIRL.
-
look at phantom menace, it had great special effects (pod race) but we all know the movie was dreadful.. look at children of men, few cheaper fx shots, yet the movie is amazing thanks to the way the story was told
-
Awesome a tony scudder clip
-
Considering that I stopped reading within the last couple of years, and I have to say that I would say they are certainly more realistic, but they are not more complex and layered. They are less mythic and joyous and they are dark and depressing.
-
But they're not books. They don't even call them books now. They call them graphic novels, and yes, some are amazing, but if it's not a duck, I'm not going to say it's a duck just because...don't take any offense. None was offered. And just fot the record, James Michener SUCKS.
-
Realism is an excuse to cover for lack of imagination.

Always have been, always will be. Every time I hear the words 'Graphic novel' I reach for my pills.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yr4v27 ok, that was a lie.
-
I loved Spidey in my youth. I'd like a lot more of that character on the screen, that's all.
-
actually comic books and graphic novels are different things
-
One is twenty notes cheaper.
-
I agree with Grohm. If you love them, and aren't embarrassed by them, call them what they are. Comic books. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I like pictures with my words sometimes, and sometimes I like words with my pictures.
-
And he was the biggest Spider-Man fan ever. I saw the movie the night after his funeral and the scene with Uncle Ben and Aunt May's speech had me bawling. I still get misty-eyed about it. <p> I hope to bond with my children thru comics and movies, as my father and I bonded. It's nice to have parents who aren't just "Mom and Dad" but also your best friends.
-
Graphic novels are just bigger and more expensive. You call it something different, you can charge more.
-
If anyone got issues with this movie, find $.50 and call someone who cares cuz most of don't care...You know you're gonna go watch it anyways in cinema or dvd etc etc...
-
Spidey 2 was pretty flawless in terms of CGI animation and modelling, as of 2004 of course, I can watch it and not see a single pixel out of place.
-
These might not even be finished scen es. They might not even appear in the film this way. If they can release DVDs after a theatrical release and add scenes, why couldn't they release scenes before a film is released that hint at what might be in the movie, but are just teasers. Hey, I got me a new marketing gimmick. Instead of Deleted Scenes on a DVD, they could do prerelease DVDs with previs and effects mock-ups, give you a taste...oh, wait, that's the Internet!
-
I heard a lot of moaning about the CGI and I thought it was damn good.
-
Someone please put the gun against my temple and ---
-
It's March, these scenes are done and dusted. Bring on The Dark Knight and let's have no more worry over an increasingly 'X3' themed Spidey 3.
-
............................
-
I know that. It just seemed that way once you removed Spidey from the argument. I kinda read between the lines, which I probably shouldn't have. BTW, am I the only one who detests the interchangeable use of the terms "graphic novel" and "comic book?" It's like saying that every animated film is a cartoon, which is not the case imho.
-
excessively when it doesn't look right. For instance, the scene where Neo is being attacked by all of the Mr. Smiths, they could've showed closeups of him hitting them individually with his fists and then his feet running across their chests and then pulled back and showed them all being knocked down and away and it would've been more convincing.
-
Give me some of the Bat. He's the real comic book hero anyway.
-
if he had a goblin mask on
-
I fell behind on my posts and missed everybody agreeing with my comics VS gn notion. LOL
-
and it posted it before yours! Spooky!
-
Sweet dreams from Brooklyn.
-
Cracked along one eye, looking positively demonic.
-
we were doing so good with no one insulting no one
-
The best scene in the first Spidey was when Obsorne is talking to the Goblin in the full-length mirror. Now, just imagine that had been a Goblin mask behind the window of a makeup shop. *Sigh*
-
How was that for a Spidey wisecrack? And yeah Spidey int eh comics wisecracks during two scenarios. 1) When he's beating up common thugs or other foes who are far outclassed by Spidey. 2) When Spidey is getting hsi ass kicked and is trying to maintain his confidence or annoy the criminal enough to get the upper hand... okay I guess I have no point, he does wisecrack, but he also goes berserk and gets scared and gets real dark! And since all of you demanded Venom, you practically guaranteed that this last film should be the darkest and most serious of the trilogy. But there are of course all those sweet and aw shucks moments.<br><br>And rsanta74 is on the ball with what he says. I believe Pixar's quota for their animators is something like 3 seconds of good animation a day. And it shows! If anyone here has tried animating complex rigs... or hell any kind of 3D computer animation whatsoever, that shit is hard! I personally can't keep track of and lose all patience working with keyframes for each control object and don't get me started on using the curve editor for slo ins and outs! Frankly, 2D animation is simpler to keep track of... but requires a different skillset that's just as difficult to do right using just your hand and a pencil.
-
sorry
-
I'm from the boogie down BX myself actually. =) Represent!! ;-)
-
shot even look good? That's my issue. It only makes sense if it looks good and it didn't to me.
-
The bullet time in the Burly Brawl was just not needed, give me rapid fire Neo Smith kicking action any day over Ballet Brawl.
-
are good example of bad cgi and horrific plot lines... man those movies sucked
-
The core skill sets are the same for animation. 3D just adds in an extra level of complexity. Not too hard once you get the hang of it. Besides, 2D animators have to deal with their own headaches. Most days, I'm glad that I'm a 3D animator instead of a 2D one. Pretty much because I can't draw for sh**, but that's another story.
-
at CGI Harry except from a distance. His design is not spectacular, he is not doing anything that requires that much CGI. I just don't get it, sorry.
-
EXACTLY!!! Somebody finally get it. Bullet time was only intended to be used as a mechanism for showing superhumanly speedy actions in non-superhuman time space. Matrix 2 & 3 added bullet time whenever they felt like it, regardless of the appropriateness. Bullet Time is not like Lays potato chips. It's okay to eat just one. ;)
-
that was hilarious. thanks bro.
-
Sure you could do it that way, but that's old school and well... given the the modern age of CGI and the high bar of action film and visual presentation, simply cheating... imagine a spidey movie where you see a straight moving shot of a stuntman swinging on a web, a building comes in front of him blocking your point of view, and next you see him landed on a rooftop and just standing up. It works... Now picture if you see spidey swinging from a web, the camera shows him in all his glory from a dynamic angle just as you'd picture a great poster/pinup shot and he sommersaults from the web and lands gently and agile like a spider onto a rooftop an inhumanly long way down from where he'd swung, his muscles flexing upon the impact and the camera pulls back to show him holding that pose, all in one continuous shot... It's way better!<br><br>Similarily, the Matrix sequels are attempting to do the same, make more crazy action and use more crazy effects techniques and bullet time as everyone was expecting them to do following in the steps of the first film to give us a visual spectacle. That sort of thing simply cannot be done physically... If you want to see mroe action and sequences that are only possible with CGI, go out and pick up a CG anime called 'Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.' Physics are thrown to the wind and the word impossible will always be at the forefront of your mind while watching it, but damn does it look fucking spectacular!
-
Really, thanx to the guy that runs the place. NBC/com left me hanging and I wanted to see this - and it was worth the effort. Funny seeing Aunt May with her bun down, though. And what's up with the Black Goblin and the flying skateboard. (Still better than the Mighty Morphin Power Goblin from the first one.) But I loved the ring bit and suspended my disbelief over the redickulis time it took to fall. *** With S3 and FF:Rise of the Surfer and Dark Knight and Miller's Spirit and an animated JLA movie and Heroes and Superman:Doomsday, this is a nice time to be a comic book fan.

it cheats the eye enough to be fully successful. I think you have to help it a little bit. Otherwise you become detached and you realize you are watching pretty pictures and not the characters in the movie. Very unappealing to me in the two Matrix sequels when it was so well done in the first.
-
agree, but the Harryhausen stuff despite looking inferior has more of a presence or a soul to it, if you will, than most of this CGI stuff. Perhaps because it is 3D. The motion capture stuff is not quite there yet.
-
for stuff you didn't like, me personally... I had a fucking blast and being someone interested in stuff like ghost in the shell and other 'boring' waxy philosophical films, I love them to death!<br><br>But anyway, we should all still be down on our knees respecting them for the ambitiousness they'd taken to go places many wouldn't dare go... Maybe it didn't all turn out perfectly, but it's damn near there and it'll be a long ass time before we see any other project with the same scale of ambition and hype as the Matrix sequels. You all know this to be true!
-
I liked the design and the ambitions, but if you're going to bother to wax philosophical then at least make a point, otherwise it's like you are name-dropping. They should'nt write their own stuff. They did this succesfully in V for Vendetta.
-
not really dude, sorry, those movies went out the window and became forgottable just like crystal pepsi and the idea of WMD in Iraq
-
and it looks fuckin great.
-
God that was lame. I thought Harry was going to stop for a Mountain Dew break in the middle of it. Get rid of the Green Goblin and his lame suit. I think I'll be happy when Raimi leaves this franchise behind. Is it me or has Dunst not aged well?
-
gone
-
but rather better CGI! And given the theme of the Matrix... it's almost ironic... after all it's a digital world where characters can do exactly that... defy physics and pull off unrealistic maneuvers! :P Not that it should get a free pass all the time, there has to be some grounding and perhaps a little restraint on the camera so it's not overused. Really, it's eye candy, and as for appeal, I guess it depends on the person... as someone used to seeing crazy wirework in kung fu movies or other impossible sequences in anime and comic books, it fit well with me... It benefits some movies, and won't work well in others... With concern to the Matrix, I remember reading how because the action in the first film and bullet time was so heavily imitated everywhere, the Wachowskis felt the need to change the style of direction and really outdo the effects and virtual cinematography to a level that nobody had dared do. Which is why the sequels have a different feel from the first. But everyone wanted it to maintain the same style as the first, so maybe that backfired. And frankly the first film is still by far my favourite and I'd agree with you that the action is still better from a very gritty realistic and hardcore standpoint. But I can also pop in Reloaded onto my TV and still be amazed at what takes place onscreen! I can't fathom how any animator would've chosen to take that monstrous task on... O_0
-
You entertain me so. I expect no more intelligent a comment than what you gave above. Thanks for not dissappointing. Someday you might try espousing a valid point of view? Until then cheers.
-
DAMN YOU SPIDERMAN HATERS!!!!!
-
I expect 3 to continue the tradition.
-
I'd disagree... Whenever I'm in a philosophy class, mind you some real basic stuff, and there's some discussion in class, I can always bring up the Matrix films to illustrate a point about free will etc. and everyone in there can nod their heads and go, "Oh yeah, I get it now..." The Matrix isn't necessarily the epitome of deep philosphical films... but rather precisely what the Wachowskis intended them to be... philosophical themes on a level that the general mass audience can grasp. Basically taking all the things they loved and putting it together to introduce to a whole population of people of whom many would not even consider going near.<br><br>And superninja, I'd argue that the films do have a point, but that's the topic for probably a long ass article/essay and I'll spare you my fanboyism about the films. Also I'm too lazy right now... :P
-
the problem i had with the movies, is that it seem to have lost what they were aiming for mythological wise, and the characters were no longer interesting in the last two movies, specially the third one, where all three lead characters were gone for almost an hour.. and the action sequences did not help at all since they did not served the plot, it basically came down to this, lets move point A to B and stop for a kick ass fight sequence that doesnt move the plot but it would still look good on film and then go to point C and so forth.... and frankly, after seeing the real world, and the characters that lived there, i would have rather stayed inside the matrix
-
Hi everyone, I am a high ranking executive at the movie studio and we all appreciate your feedback. Thanks for letting us know that the use of CGI for the Harry character isn't up to standards, we all thought it was wonderfully but the fan community is what matters. We'll get it fixed right up.
-
In fact I think history has judged them pretty harshly as you won't read too many worst sequels lists without them popping up. Yes the films were philisophical, but to absolutely no end. It got to the point where the Wachowski brothers began to throw in everything but the proverbial kitchen sink and their metaphors seemed like they were written by a first year philosophy undergrad. If you think it meant anything then the Wachowskis played you for a patsy. And bullshit philosophy can't explain nonsense plot devices like Neo gaining powers in the human world or Mr. SMith randomly having the power to multiply. If the consequence of being an old program and getting marked for deletetion is getting some random cool power like phasing or multiplication then by all means sign me up for deletion! Not to mention storytelling flaws like throwing well established characters to the wolves while focusing on a myriad of poorly written and acted heretofore unseen secondary characters in the third film. Or going through all the trouble to save Trinity in the second film with a huge melodramatic sequence only to anti climactically kill her off in a crash. I could literally go on forever listing flaws but the point are they are Terrible films. Right up there with the Star Wars prequels.
-
In every movie so far, his mask is always ripped off half the time. So in this one, they don't even bother to have him in costume. Why not call this Peter Parker 3, not Spider-Man 3.
-
we should find a way to talk in lenght about these movies and see what we can learn from one another, too bad this is not a good forum to do so, but its cool that you loved the movies, therefore i wont bashed them as i usally do
-
make all the characters drop lame one liners and act like they are in a gay parade and show spider-man crotch shots a lot
-
And I never complained about the effects in Spidey 1 or 2 even. But that looked too fake and distractingly so.
-
the air for so long....<sigh>...oh well, this movie will make about $1 billon and be a crowd pleaser, so more power to all of you and your low standards.
-
Holy crap that freakin' rocked! Gonna have to jack off to this till the movie comes out! Yikes!
-
Not sure what all the whining is about . That was a fucking awesome taste of what's to come. Looks like another homerun for the franchise to me.
-
They can already do photorealistic CGI doubles of humans that will fool you. But the scenes have to be in relative darkness or really short. Making a CGI human doing a lot of stuff in daylight and making it believable will not happen in your lifetime...or your grandkids...or their grandkids. Ok, I'll shut up now.
-
HD is 720 or 1080. SD is 480. And you call yourself a geek? For shame! You should know that. ;-)
-
in Ten Years you'll still be bitching about how movies don't match up to your "Quality". In ten years you'll still be unhappy, but you know what man? Just keep holding that little shiny torch of "Ill Contempt" you parading around to verify your meaningless exsitance, it's all you have left.
-
So very sad.
-
Anyone crying about CGI needs to hang themselves right now.
-
I too was going no where fast fucking around with NBC.com's "trust us, it is loading we really, really mean it" nonsense. This really was a great thing you did. a simple right click, "save link as" and I'm groovin' to the Amazing Peter Parker in glorious quicktime!
-
Just think what Raimi would have done with a character as cool as the Silver Surfer!
-
That clip now represents my favorite action scene of all the Spidey movies, including the vastly overrated part 2. Harry as "The Goblin" is easily 10 times the Green Goblin his father was. And it finally delivered on something that I always felt was sorely lacking from the first: an AERIAL Spidey-on-Goblin fight! I almost cried when pete caught a line on the Empire State building then lazily circled around riddling Harry with Webballs. <br> Geez, that was great. And if they're confident enough to release that scene to the internet 2 months early, how the hell awesome are the rest of the action scenes gonna be!?
-
fucking incredible. The fx- a little cg floppy at times...but its great to see maguire swinging like that....
-
I don't care how intense the blow, I'm never letting anything blow MY dick off. That's just not thinking ahead.
-
talkback here, cause I wanna see this one as spoiler free as possible. But I do have a question for you all...I currently have on rotation in my dvd player, Spidey2 X2-3, Spidey1, Batman begins and Superman returns..and I noticed something that,I hadn't noticed before...not many of these movies have a lot of "heroing" going on...Most of the stuff that is going on in these movies, is either caused somehow by the hero ie SR, or the people they are doing the heroing for are people they know and love...but not a lot of actual Vigilante superhero Justice is being dealt in these movies...Am I making sense? I think the original Superman and to a lesser extent Spidey 1 had the most selfless heroing going on...by that I mean, scenes where the hero is doing stuff to help out strangers, like getting a cat from a tree, or stopping a robbery..but in most of the newer movies, almost everything is personalized...And I love most of these movies...I guess what I am saying is , why isn't there more than thirty seconds of montage of either Superman or Spidey doing their thing in their respective movies? They are supposed to be heroes..but they aren't REALLY depicted as so... I mean, I get that they need to have something to tie the characters to, but, I think it's time for the heroes to just deal some street justice..in public...like in the comics...Anyone agree disagree? I wanna see Batman out on patrol, I wanna see Spidey stopping more than just the passing robbery...like a whole day of him going through the day as spidey would be awesome you know? but I guess they save that stuff for the "big" showdown..wadda you guys think??
-
I think ppl are forgetting that there was NOTHING like that in the previous movies. Its pretty clear to me that raimis upping the action and "taking the battles to the skies" like he promised. thats why spideys so cool- you could never get choregraphy that imaginative with any other character......
-
Raimi knows his stuff, sweet homage to that classic Pete in regular clothes/Goblin aerial battle from the Romita Sr days. Hold on, that was positive. Shit, wrong site
-
When a preview clip makes me yell "GO, SPIDEY, GO!!" in the middle of the night out loud, it's pretty impressive. :)
-
4) Deadpool, 3)Johnny Storm 2)Bobby Drake (Iceman) 1)Peter freakin' Parker. Say what you want about Story, but the film version of Johnny Storm is the only one that comes close to that. Granted, Deadpool hasn't been put to screen yet, still hoping for Ryan Reynolds there. But both Iceman and Spiderman have been woefully mis-written as broody types. Iceman should have been the Xander of Xmen - joking to cover his feelings of inadequacy. But it was not to be. I do enjoy the Spiderfilms, and that scene was pretty cool. But I agree with previous poster - I just wish there was some more stuff with Spidey being a wiseass. Unfortunately, I don't think Maguire could pull it off even if it was written for him. Oh well. Maybe the recast in Spiderman 4 will be better.
-
great scene for REAL FANS of spiderman, thanks for the youtube clip so i could get a GOOD LOOK at VENOM!!!!!!!!
-
thanks for saving me the trouble of doing venom screen grabs...but is it just me, or did venom look better before they added more CG to him? looks lik they made the teeth smaller and removed the tongue...im starting to get worried :( <P> the clips however were great, and ill admit the XXXTremem Goblin fight was better than i thought itd be. and i know im not alone when i say that in a movie like this, i kinda like the over the top CG flourishes they do in films like this, it hasd a kenetic energy i kinda like. sure i want photoreal but i know it aint gonna happen so just sit back and just enjoy for once in your sad lives
-
God bless Sam Raimi. Fuck all you moaners!
-
terrible, terrible, bland acting, CG-filled pish.

.... I thought it was quite delightful... Hail Raimi!

Why was only the 480p link listed when there is a 1280x720p available? http://flash.sonypictures.com/video/movies/spiderman3/Spider-Man3_720p_5000kbps.mov
-
That was a whole bunch of great spidey stuff. I loved it. Except for the CU shot of the board being switched as they go into the alley which was like "OMFG its like a skateboard! Kidz like skateboards! ROFLOMFG!" and is therefore totally lame and pointless. We get it. /nitpick
-
http://www.filmick.co.uk/2007/03/download-and-keep-spider-man-3-preview.html Enjoy
-
this is definitely not too much! In the trailer there are shots of a) Harry being carried on a stretcher with a neck brace, and b) getting one of those fire balls exploding in his face. So it's pretty obvious that this is not the end of Harry. In fact, I'd prefer these kinds of teasers than a trailer choc-full of images from throughout the movies. This was a GREAT clip!
-
I waited until five to get the NBC version to work and the big picture is nice and sharp. Heck, even the clarity in Aunt May's kitchen was impressive. *** One thing, though. I know we've seen enough House/Grey's/ER so we expect someone to put some effort into CPR when they try to revive someone they know. But the way Maguire was leaning into Harry's chest like that, his Spider-strength would have shattered all of Harry's ribs. *** I also grab and dragged the slider to try to get a good look at the scenes in the montage at the end and there's much good stuff to be seen. Cool News indeed. (Especially black costume Spidey shoving Sandman's face into a moving subway train. But did anyone else crack up at the scene of Tobey snarling and waving his fist in the air. Sure it's a comic book flick, but that was way over the top and I hope that's a very quick moment in the film.
-
Jesus this was amazing! Raimi shoots these flying scenes with so much creativity, just amazing. Some lesser cg shots? Don't care! It'll be tweaked before release and then there probably be 2 or 3 lesser succeeded once but if they are presented in an overwhelming way like this I realy don't care. Sweet Spidey sentiment with anty. What I liked most was how hard Spidey was smacked into the wall. Great stuff.
-
...the shot of Gollem falling into Mount Doom reaching out to the ring in front of him.
-
it's OK, but not glorious...
-
The minute FREAKS AND GEEKS got canned....or maybe it was when Daniel became a nerd.
-
Haters should, as the old saying goes, suck it. Suck what you might ask? I don't know. how about the venom out of a cobra's ass. This clip is fantastic. The care and detail put into this film is obvious. I'm fine with criticizing stuff, but I'm at a loss for what planet people live on that could hate on that preview. My only nitpick is that's its a little too dark to see all the total awesomeness. I hope it gets lightened up just a bit but even if it doesnt... whatever. I know that some people that worked on this scene will read this talkback - so I just want to say - great effort on some truly spectacular movie magic. You should be incredibly proud.
-
The fight scene was frickin' amazing. I cannot wait to see this movie. Spidey flippin' Harry off his glider was great, and skipping the whole green goblin mask stuff rocked. Great scene. Awesomely great scene. If the rest of the movie is anything like that, this is going to be as good as 2, if not better. Best trilogy since LOTR. And Sam knows it. That's why the extended ring sequence. He's looking for his honorary end-of-the-trilogy Oscar.
-
I don't think the final cut of this movie is finished yet so maybe there's still time to cut the cheese.
-
Single frame the trailer and you'll see a manhole cover on Sandman's chest. Raimi gave Sandman a nipple! Hilarious! What a nice guy, giving you nipple-fixated geeks something to go off about.
-
I'll save my opinion until I see the whole movie, I just hope it's better than the second one.
-
mary jane was in venoms dark web near the end of the clip? before i get flamed look at the next frame and see spidey swing away with her using his light toned web.
-
Has Raimi been watching Batman and Robin again?
-
<p>Kids, to the ones who are displeased, you might be taking for granted what you're looking at. We're seeing PP web-slinging all around NYC whereas before we had to be satisfied with Spidey in sometimes not-so-great CGI.</p> <p>Considering the many complaints made about the mediocre Green Goblin suit from the first film, I think it's actually not so bad that we see Harry doing his thing looking like a snowboarder. After all, if I were a rich kid with limitless resources, I'd probably do something after my own interests. Seeing a young person on a snowboard or skateboard isn't really so out-of-line. The Tim Burton-esque mask was stupid.</p> <p>The action was dynamic and fluid. And this was just a few minutes. Before any of us gets too much on one side of the argument, for or against the film, what do you say we all agree <strong>to see the film first?</strong></p> <p>There were a lot of knowing little details in the few minutes Sony was smart to release. My fave was the nipple on Sandman. I'm not happy with the appearance of Venom in this film. Never liked him. I hope it works out.</p> <p>As you were.</p>
-
God, that is great.
-
i love that fight!
-
A full frontal Aunt May shot, or Peter just full on ramming her from behind like a sweaty football player doing his buddies in the locker room cause they be pumped up!!!

I posted a screen grab on a Flick'r site of a friend http://tinyurl.com/36e539

im there!
-
It's ok, I understand. The haters are mad because Uwe Boll/Bryan Singer/Brett Ratner/whoever ruined their favorite superhero's movie and now they actually have to sit here and get the fact shoved in their face that this movie is just going to kick their movie's ass. Here, have some burn ointment for that massive burn.
-
I just can't wait for this movie. Will any other comic book movie have such a quality trilogy as this one? I have faith in you Nolan....
-
Damn this was just too damned cool. I've dreamed of seeing this all-out aerial Parker/Osborn battle since I first read AMAZING SPIDEY #39 over 30 years ago. Makes me wish they'd have dumped Sandman and just gone with Harry and Venom. But I trust Mr. Raimi will not disappoint with Flint Marko, either.
-
Very nicely done. Some of the glider-stick CGI is too much, but like the effects for the original Goblin, you've gotta suspend your disbelief a little. Oh, and as for Harry, I'd be kicking him in the ribs as he lay in the alley--not giving him CPR. He deserved to get owned.
-
...I was born in 1963 and read "real books" before I read comics. My mother was suspicious of manga. When I did get ahold of one of those sixties style phone books with multi-colour paper...I was a bit disappointed. I prefered the heroes I loved Atomu and Tetsujin as anime...where they seemed *alive*. But then I got my first American comic book the Superman where he gets an alien virus and has to be blasted into space because of possible infection threat to Supergirl. He was saved by the Bizarros when they threw kryptonite at him "because we love him so" this included white krytonite which killed the virus. My first American Spider-Man comic was right after Gwen died...trust me much angst in this now classic story. If you want a truly light-hearted look at Spidey there is always the Electric Company, or the version televised in my homeland. We gave Spider-Man a cool theme song almost as good as the American anime and also a giant robot (and you thought the Goblin suit was "Power Ranger"?)he took his orders from an actual spider in his bedroom. There are many clips of this series on YouTube...go investigate this before the Corporate Shoguns of my native land who know nothing of free advertising have them all pulled down.
-
Theres only really been one film with CGI scenes that truly convinced me - Jurassic Park. Not all the scenes mind you, but most had CG stuff that looked like it belonged in the frame. When the T-Rex attacks the land cruisers the first time, the puppet head nudges the front of the car, raises out of view then the CG dino takes over as it walks towards the 2nd car. Now THAT was good CG, the lighting matched, colours were good, the works. CG people are good enough now that we can suspend disbelief enough to enjoy what we're watching, and that will only improve.
-
Why didn't Peter sense Harry preparing to attack him. I guess the arguement could be made he was preoccupied with thoughts of asking MJ to marry him but what about the coffee shop scene in Spider-man 2. I'd say that was an equally distracting moment but he still sensed Octavius's attack before it happened. Also the whole Peter on a scooter thing is a bit lame, I wish they just had him getting around the city by swinging like in the comics.
-
... how Aunt May is always turning the conversation back to herself? Here's Peter all happy, coming in to tell his beloved aunt about the good news and what does Aunt Killjoy do? She immediately launches into some self-serving story about how SHE became engaged that ends, predictably, in tears. Not "tell me about it, Peter!" or "I'm so happy for you, dear nephew! When did you decide?" No, it's "Oh, I remember when I was young and pretty and popular." Sheesh. What an egotist. If I was Peter, I'd stop visiting.
-
The Japanese Spidey is amazing! No pun intended. And it wasn't me who thought Harry looked like a Power Ranger, but you have to admit, it's a funny line. I don't really have a problem with him dressed as he is. My God, Peter Parker is wearing red, white and blue tights and no one bitches about that! And while I'd like to see less pseudo-darkness in these Spidey flicks, I can also go make my own stories, so while I criticize, I also appreciate them for what they are: this is the first time we've seen Spider-Man realized in a good way in moving pictures. It's a terrific achievement, when you think about it. This sort of stuff is not easy to convert to film, and Raimi's done it very well. And while I am very much looking forward to Spidey 3, I am also looking forward to the coming Batman film by Nolan. 'Batman Begins" was terrific.
-
Seriously, she's a drag. She gives the story that much-needed shot of depression. Boo freaking hoo.
-
Rough CGI aside, slightly wooden acting aside, this movie, like the first two, will be shitloads of fun to watch. I've got cheadle running down my pantleg just from this clip. It doesn't even matter to me that I cannot believe for a minute that Harry, even with all his money and power, can learn to design and ride a glider like that. And unless he drinks some formula, there's no way he can match Spidey's strength, so I assume he does chug-a-lug some green brew. I just can't believe they're gonna squeeze all this into one movie. Peter deals with the darkness of the symbiote, reckons with Sandman, competes with Brock, settles the score with Harry, loses the symbiote, defeats Sandy, witnesses the birth of Venom, deals with a giant Sandy, and (I'm guessing, since they haven't hinted at pt. 4) defeats Venom? I'm out of breath just thinking about it. I think when it comes out I'll just pay to watch it three times over in one sitting, and naturally I'll have a box of kleenex to wipe my geek spooge.
-
Just watched it again. I have what I think is a very valid question--why doesn't Peter's Spidey sense go haywire right before Harry snatches him off the moped? Peter really seems to be taken by surprise. There's not even a fleeting look of, "Hey, something's not riiig...OOF!"
-
...is at YouTube. No subtitles, but I think non-Japanese speakers will still be able to follow along: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDh__j3h1qE Please to fill gap as I lack tinyurl skills. Watch soon as I said copyright holders in Japan have little understanding of how these Internet sharing actually increase awareness and amount to free publicity for their product.
-
And the tissue and spooge line, disgusting. You fit right in at AICN! I agree with you and the other TBer who brought up Spidersense...was he too fill of happiness to be on his game? I don't buy it. And no one--NO ONE--can ride a scooter in NYC with a smile on his or her face, not at night in typical Manhattan traffic. But hey, I'm just nitpicking. I guess the little idiot's just in love, huh? Give me a solitary crimefighter over this teen romance crap.
-
God, talk about advance marketing. I miss the days when movies weren't shown so much before they release.
-
are that Harry is not wearing his father's Goblin suit, because that would've been a real mindfuck for Peter, and that Danny Elfman didn't return to do the music after Raimi went all super ego dickhead on him. Other than that it's kickass.
-
...I thought it was "Marble Comics"? It sounds the same in Japanese and I was thinking of heroic statues.
-
Sounds impressive and heroic, as you say, Onomaki.
-
I'm not sure what folks really expect from the CGI in these films, but I don't have a problem with what we're seeing effects-wise. I do agree with superninja and a few others, though, about Tobey's Spidey just not quite hitting home in any of these movies. Peter's and therefore Spidey's life is definitely pain and angst, but the Spidey suit is Peter's escape hatch from that most of the time. He puts it on and he gets to act like he hasn't a care or a serious thought in the world. The wise-cracking iks his steam vent (and possibly the only thing that keeps him from killing a lot of street-level thugs with his enhanced strength and reflexes). Peter can be as mopey as he needs to be, but inside the suit he needs to rattle off jokes rapid-fire. Even if they aren't funny. In fact, many of them shouldn't be funny...they should be infuriating. Anyway, despite that major flaew in the writing and acting of the main character, I've loved all of these movies and I suspect I'll love this one, too.
-
Harry Osbourne.... :) <p> The clip did look great.... People just love to complain....
-
and lukewarm CGI over perfect CGI and boring comic book movie (think Superman Returns) any day!
-
Well u forgot that the so called genious sam raimi sepnt $250+ million on spider-man 3 compared to F4:ROTSS $130-135 million budget. YOU FUCKING MORON SILVER SURFER IN COMICS and IF IT EXISTED WOULD OWN SPIDER-MAN, SHIT SURFER, SANDMAN and VENOM's ASSES. HE CAN COMPLETELY ANNIHILATE THEM IN 15 SECONDS WITH HIS COSMPIC POWER. SO YA FUCK $250+ million SM3 movie with loads of overstylized action sequences to hide the SHITFEST CGI.
-
I mean, I know martial artists who have built up calcium deposits in their bones for years who can punch through bricks and concrete. But, why is it that every character seems to have a reinforced titanium-strength skeletal structure all over their bodies?<p>The beauty of Spider-Man, like Batman, was that he'd occasionally rub his aching shoulders from falling or whatever. Of course, in the world of CGI heroes, he's now Superman and near-indestructible.<p>Other than that general gripe, I loved this clip and this will be an excellent Spidey film.
-
I'm amped to see this on the big screen. But enough with the clips; we'll see half the damn movie before May 4th. It's not like people will not see this movie. Still can't stand Harry's flying skateboard.
-
The Lizard would be excellent as well. C'mon, Raimi - you had us with Doc Ock...and now Sandman!!!! Give us more comic book love!
-
if you naysay that you need a labotomy.
-
He's just ignoring it because since he set off on his scooter it's been "Hey! Watch out for that crazy ass taxi! Guy on a mobile phone changing lanes! Small boy running out into the street after his ball! Red light! Crack-addict scooter-jackers! You've swallowed a fly!" and so forth. Spidey sense is a real pain in the ass.
-
it was one of the first comics i ever got. also man-bat from batman and a giant sized superman.
-
...period. PERIOD.
-
Re-read your post please. It made no fucking sense.
-
maybe it'll go away.
-
A little horror, a little humor, a little pathos. Raimi doesn't shy away from the outlandish like Doc Ock or Sandman. I mean, yeah, the Goblin turned into some super-military-armor-and-weapon supersuit on a boogie board...but Raimi at least sees fit to include some of the more outrageous villains here and there. I'm thrilled they'll find a way to work Venom into the series without Spidey zipping off to some planet in some other dimension and "oopsie" picking the wrong costume generator.<p>Mysterio and Electro would work - but they would admittedly need some costume revisions. Mysterio's disco-ball head may not translate to film...but Raimi could make it work.<p>Even the minor hit-or-miss bits in these Spidey films are better than the best parts in other recent comic book films. This is easily the modern blueprint for how to handle a comic book-to-film series.
-
ya i said it. SILVER SURFER CAN OWN VENOM, NIGHT SURFER, SANDMAN and SPIDER-MAN ASSES. HE CAN ANNIHILATE THESE PIECE OF MOTHRFUCKING SHITFESTS BY USING HIS COSMIC POWER. SPIDER-MAN MOVIE FRANCHISE IS NOTHING JUST ONE HUGE CGI SHITFEST GOREFEST. F4:ROTSS and B:TDK WILL RULE!!!
-
his face changes to concern. he was just distracted and harry was going really fast.

I foresee a new AICN catchphrase.

ya i said it. SILVER SURFER EATS GRANDMAS AND PWNS YOUR ASSES. SHITFEST CGI CGI SHITFEST B:HGFTYJWU HGSDYHUGLK JKEUJWU AREGHRJEL GLKUB GLUB. SILVER SURFER IS MY BOYFRIEND AND USES HIS COSMIC POWER UP MY ASS!!!!!1!
-
Here are the biggest problems with the FX I see. First off it's (hopefully) not finished. If it is, then they need to stop and take a good look at what they're about to release, because the effects are worse than the first movie. The biggest problem I see is that they refuse to put pure black in any of the CG. When I was in school, the professors would always preach about how you should never have pure black when you render. Seems like whoever's doing these effects are all about the same gospel. Well it's wrong, obviously. All you have to do is look at how the CG doesn't match up with the live action. The live action has deep blacks, but the CG only has dark grays. Plus the CG looks blown out. I have to agree, it still needs work.

You have to get it right. You'll only make him angry if you don't...

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA SPIDER-MAN 3 SHITFEST GOREFEST CGI MOVIE!!! MWAHWMWMAHAHAHA SPIDER-MAN is MAKALODA, BHOSDI, MADARCHOD, BAHINKALAND, GAND PHATI SUPERHERO. Ya i just cursed SM3 won't be making as much profit and the next spider-man movie will be directed by someone whom the entire community will hate.

Its illiteracy bespeaks of endless hours up all night before the radiant glow of a monitor, multiple windows and tabs open on AICN and Warcraft, empty pizza boxes for furniture, and a mother screaming downstairs for her son to 'get a life.'<p>Yes, FTM, you are most correct. "COSMPIC POWER" it must be.

If you freeze it and look real close, you can see black webbing wrapped around his wrist. He's being pulled between two things, it looks like.

There are some people who should refrain from posting. You're one of them. Seriously, how old are you? Twelve?

Take that Joel Spoogemaker.

I mean, it had Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus beating the ever-lovin' crap out of each other on the side of a building. <p>What the fuck more do you need, people?!</p>

HAHHAHAHAH INDIAN SUPERHERO KRRISH CAN OWN SPIDER-MAN ASS. HE IS KICK ASS. HAS WELL BUILT BODY AND CAN MAKE SPIDER-MAN SHIT IN HIS PANTS IF HE LOOKS AT HIM EYE TO EYE.
-
Yeah, it fits nicely.
-
I HATE THOSE SHIT MAN. SERIOUSLY IT IS THE BEST WAY TO HIDE SUCKY CGI and IT LOOKS SO FUKING FAKE AND UNREALISTIC.
-
Peter's face maybe MAYBE changes just a wee little bit before Harry nails him, but it's hardly the look of sudden concern that goes with the spider-sense being activated. Plus, I should remind everyone, we saw this exact same thing in Spidey 3 when Peter is on his scooter with his gay little helmet. A speeding car bears down on him, and not only does his spider sense go off, but he FLIPS backwards into the air off the bike, which gets trashed. You're telling me he could do that, but not have much time to react to Harry? Hmmmm. Other thoughts. Yes, Aunt May looks beautiful. I wonder if she is cleanly shorn or if it's a jungle down there. I'll bet those glutes are nice and firm, but have just the right amount of give for pushing. As for MJ and Gwen, y'all can argue till the cows come home about who is better looking. I think Dunst is cute, and yes I would bang her in the orifice of her choice. As for the CGI, sure it looks a little rough if I let my eyes (and mind) get critical, but hey, this is a fun superhero movie about a guy who can climb walls and jump like a spider. Real people can't do that, and the Spidey franchise has come closer than anyone to making it look like a person CAN do it. I love you Sly! And Tobey please sign on for more movies. I mean, c'mon. Don't let them ruin what you helped create. You wanted to be Peter / Spidey, you lucked out and got it. Don't pee on the character now. Sign the paper, take the money, do the movies.

-
it's going to be awesome.
-
wow, the talkbackers get younger every year. I would have been impressed with this too, in middle school. But where's the artistic style that bridges reality and this surreal fight in New York. All of a sudden you have Pete Parker, riding his little scooter, fat, stiff and out of shape, and the next second, you have him doing all sorts of mind-bending acrobatics. I thought that putting Peter Parker in one of these fight scenes would be a good thing, and once they get into the alleyway, it is good, but the aerial daring do and the ring drop catch and all that cgi-stunt doublery really takes one out of the scene. Where are the close-ups? I think that would add alot, or else this film risks becoming a caricature of itself. Even in the comic books, the framing always kept Pete Parker/Spider-Man pretty front and center in the action, no flying from one side of the frame to the other like a goddamn ragdoll. This is dissapointing, and I'm afraid I will be dissapointed with the film entirely. It seems to have lost the soul in the action scenes and then tags the soul back at the end of the scene, but by then, it's too late to empathize, because we just saw Peter Parker pull a looney toon's move on Harry, and Harry's body acts accordingly, denting the pipe, flipping in the air. And the final moments of desperation for Peter feel false because of how comical the proceeding violence was. This is a bitter feud between friends, not Kung Fu Hustle. Know your concept in your heart and be intelligent, it's the most important part of creating a visual effects shot that feels cohevise with the rest of your film
-
Don’t get me wrong, I love the spider-man films, but it seems Sony is scared shitless that Pirates 3 is gonna literally blow them out of the water this summer. They keep giving us more and more footage, at this rate were going to see half the movie by the time is comes out. And Pirates 3 so far? Nothing! My bet is Disney has been saving their ad campaign money for April and May, and you are going to see Pirates 3 adds everywhere.
-
What was that name of that John Carl Buechler movie from the 80s with Elaine Benes in it... where the little evil guy kept turning people into plants? Oh yeah... I think it was TROLL.
-
I'm waiting for a comic book movie that explores the fetishism heroes obviously suffer from.
-
You have made my sick little self fell all glittery now. May Shiva crap in your hat and call it a lotus.
-
Now you are on to something. Superheroes also happen to be big in the gay community. Not just because of the emphasis on bodies and the outlandish costumes, but because of the isolation experienced by the characters. Singer picked up on that theme in the X-Men movies, but it's especially prevalent with Superman and Batman. Constantly hiding behind an alter ego. It has to be rough to be in the closet.
-
I agree with u man definitely. I am 100% sure they will show more stuff and by the time the movie comes out everyone will end up watching the coolest scenes and there will be nothing left to watch in theatres. On the other hand both DISNEY and FOX are saving whatever awesome stuff they have for POTC 3 and F4:ROTSS and will be doing one huge kick ass marketing 2-3 weeks before their movie releases. FOX has already started marketing F4:ROTSS as evident with the teaser, posters all over USA and theatres and 1 week TV-SPOT campaign last week. NOW they probably won't show anything more until MAY and ofcourse the first two weeks of june will be Huge marketing blitz for F4:ROTSS. POTC3 marketing will start in april and then big time marketing once spider-man 3 is released.
-
DONT DARE TO ABUSE MY RELIGION AND GODS. I AM TALKIGN ABOUT A MOVIE TALK ABOUT IT U MOTHERFUKCING AICNers.
-
I know everyone has an opinion but since when is everyone a CGI expert? These movies in my opinion are the best comic adaptations to date mainly because the flaws are few and far between. I try to find something to love with every comic adaptation,for some it's easy (XMEN 3,Ghost Rider,Daredevil,and Punisher) and others it's next to impossible (Hulk,Batman and Robin and Elektra) but I think Spiderman ,Spiderman2, Xmen 1 and 2 Superman Returns and Batman Begins are in a different class altogether. I think Raimi did a great job with the source material and continues to do so.
-
Oh ya baby. That is what he does. especially harry's.
-
abusing others in the name of attacking a movie. Get off the caps key. You've shown you can do it. You want a fight, bring your COSMPIC POWER. Me, I choose the path of peace. Mera naam Peter hai.
-
He clearly is starved for attention. Now then...the only problem with the trailer is what others have pointed out - no spidey sense when Harry swoops in on him. As Abom pointed out, there have been occasions in the prior movies where his spidey sense kicked him and saved him from harm. No good reason why it wouldn't have worked in that situation.
-
Killing off Doc Ock after turning him back good means no original Sinister 6 but I think they could mix it up a bit by keeping THC as Sandman, Dafoe as the returning Green Goblin,add Bruce Campbell as Mysterio ,Mickey Rourke as Camelion,Lance Hendrikson as Vulture and Bill Goldberg as Rhino. Spiderman would have to swallow his pride and turn to the mysterious "Black Cat" and Harry Osbourne for help. That would be awesome and epic in my mind. At the least I want to see Bruce as Mysterio or some major villan and I would love to see Mary Jane recast as Laura Prepon from that 70's show. Anyone else?
-
It's tough, though, when you get nuggets like "HAHHAHAHAH INDIAN SUPERHERO KRRISH CAN OWN SPIDER-MAN ASS. HE IS KICK ASS. HAS WELL BUILT BODY AND CAN MAKE SPIDER-MAN SHIT IN HIS PANTS IF HE LOOKS AT HIM EYE TO EYE." it makes you want more!
-
that stated that his Spider-Sense is always running and therefore he has learned to tune it out to a point when he's already focused on doing something less than safe (ala zipping around NYC traffic on a piddly little moped).
-
That was the single coolest fight scene I've ever seen in a superhero movie or otherwise. The scene w/Aunt May & Peter also was subtle, heartfelt, real, & great. My only very minor complaint is that Pete's Spidey sense didn't buzz a little before he's scooped up. All in all still awesome & exactly how I pictured fights really goin down in the comics I used to read as a kid. I don't have time to read the others comments, but if anyone didn't like that then you'll never be happy and you're just a sour puss in Granny's basement that will never leave there. I'd like to see any one of you helm somethin like that.

COSMPIC POWER: The Musical
-
i love both franchises, i think these two plus harry potter are the only true great franchises of this decade (fuck LOTR, thats right i said it).. but when it comes to selling tickets, pirates will be the number one movie, why? girls that arent comic book fans plus comic book fans will drive to see potc, where as spidey only has the fanboy base
-
SILVER SURFER PISSING STEAMING RAIN OF FIRE is pretty money too.<p>Frijole - I suppose I can buy that since it's set in the 'movie universe', but I think that is one aspect that should have been held consistent. That's one of the reasons why Spidey was able to usually avoid getting splattered by the bad guys. And Spidey would get hurt, so I wish he wasn't getting thrown through windows and into the side of buildings without showing any sort of pain. I do remember in the second one where he was losing his powers and he fell onto the car if I'm not mistaken. "My aching back" or something like that was said.
-
why do i care what movie will be the number one movie of the year, hell, im just happy to have all these promising films coming out, pirates,spidy,the simpsons, harry potter plus more
-
I read all the feedback before watching the clip (while it was downloading, actually), so I didn't know what to expect when I was ready to watch it. Now that I have, I say with all my heart that all you morons who don't see the value in this clip can fall off the face of the earth. That clip friggin RULED. I'm more psyched to see this movie than ever. <p> FYI, CGI never looks as good in these clips as it does in the final film, not that I had any problem with it. <p> I have complete faith in Raimi & Co. to deliver what the true fans want to see. The rest of you go complain about some other movie that deserves your venom. Leave Spider-Man alone. Spier-Man is the one comic book franchise that has been handled the best from start to finish (so far). Once the producers decide they don't want Raimi any more, then who knows what will happen, but so far I've loved the ride. Although it sounds like we'll be losing McGuire after this one, I'm sure they'll find a replacement that'll keep the quality up. Heck, look at the James Bond franchise. How many Bonds have there been now? Six? Seven? Spider-Man can continue going for a long time as long as the movies are treated with respect. <p> Go Spidey!
-
Cuthbert...(and on and on) would all be perfectly acceptable Mary Jane replacements. I have no problem with Dunst though, save for being too dry at times in 2.
-
SILVER SURFER PISSING STEAMING RAIN OF FIRE That's mine! I'm telling you, it's fun impersonating DHAMAKA2007's style. Breathtaking.
-
You might raise the ire of DHAMAKA2007! He doesn't like Spider-Man.
-
clash of the titans. relax. you'll ive longer. this is a soap opera for boys about a dude bitten by a magic spider. i for one have an enormous erection based on this clip.
-
because it was real.
-
and will tell Raimi, "dude, they are bitching about peter not sensing danger while riding his scooter" and maybe Raimi will say, "aww, damn those fanboys, ok, it'll be fix" then all of you can shut the hell up!!!!!!
-
Meh.
-
and I put nipples on Sandman.
-
A lot of hate for what looks to be a kick ass movie. I really do laugh at the people defending FF4 2:The shit rises like did you not watch the first film? The second will be a lot of the same with one more fight scene. Batman Begins 2 doesn't come out for another summer so all this Batman is going to beat Spider-man stuff doesn't make sense. Can't any of you guys just be happy? This summer will be action packed with a lot of good stuff which is better than years past. Just sit back and relax be happy you're gonna have some fun at the movies.
-
yeap.. pretty much
-
DaFoe can't come back as the Goblin for the Sinister Six because Norman Osbourne is just as dead as Doc Ock. But they could just have another character jump in the Goblin suit like Harry should have, or even better replace his role in The Six with the Hobgoblin.<p>Actually now that I think about it I would give both my nuts to see Raimi's version of the HobGoblin, I'll bet he would be scary as hell, same with the Lizard. The other one I would want to see him do is Rhino.
-
in trailers, online clips, etc. star wars, lotr, whatever. then the film and then dvd comes out and it looks a lot better than it did before. it happens every time.. what the hell people?
-
PRISON FOOD FOR SURE.
-
MEH TUMAREY MA KI GAND MEH LODA DALUNGI As an indian american hindu raised i spit on you all. KRRISH 2008!
-
No doubt. I think what happens next is like what happend in spiderman 1. Remember when the experiment looks like its fucked up and Osborne has snuffed it, then that scientist franticaly gives him cpr, then suddenly he comes back angry as fuck and launches the poor fucker. well thats what I think wil happen here, it will be a shock moment with Harry suddenly springing back to life. Then he will continue fighting him, thats when eventually Parker will get him back with one of those pumpkin bombs things....or maby not.
-
Fuck off, church freaks.
-
Why couldn't he have worn the Goblin MASK at least? Oh well. Looks great and fun, and at least Sandman is wearing his trademark green striped shirt. But Harry needed to be the Green Goblin not mecha-ninja.
-
March 6, 2007, 11:33 a.m. CST
Its ain't CGI or even the action. It's the layers...
by lettersoftransit
...that make this work. He's fighting his best friend, who wants to kill him, but he doesn't want to kill his friend. And all the while he's trying not to lose the ring he wants to give to his girl (who also used to be the girl of his best friend). It's what Marvel did so well in the 60s. and what Sam Raimi and gang clearly have read (as I recall there was a great engaement ring chasing sequence in an early Sgt. Fury comic). Any film can be emotional one minute and action packed the next, but it's the good ones that tug your emotions even when the fists are flying.
-
Krrish's Campaign for President. Spider-Man is going to be the campaign's webmaster. Krrish in 2008! He's got the COSMPIC POWER.
-
Mighta made this Goblin 2 a little more interesting...<p>'Course when you heard that Peter was goign to shave someone in the movie and it wasn't going to be Mary Jane, you mighta been disappointed....
-
over the nipple on Sandman. I'm not kidding! He's got a freaking nipple! Where's the outrage?
-
seriously....But if their dollars keep this rag-tag site up n' running......
-
(mostly because it's not the way you would have done it), but if you're being honest with yourself you'll admit that these scenes are pretty damn good. They have heart, pathos, and action aplenty. Exactly what we go to a Spider-Man movie for. Even I could complain about little details, but Raimi gets so much right that it's just a waste of time. I don't think he'll beat Spider-Man 2, but so long as he comes close I won't complain.
-
What is the point of even humoring the idea of it? If people get this upset of a Spiderman movie, there is no way that we could ever end fighting. I welcome the destruction of the world if this is the way we live in it
-
You stream it, for some reason. I thought the effects were, for the most part, pretty fucking slick. Yeah there's some obvious green screening, but for the love of God, this looks to have some of the most imaginative and exciting action sequences of any film in recent memory, and all you guys can do is bitch! I mean, seriously, after Ghost Rider, Elektra, Punisher, even Superman Returns, etc, how can you possibly say that this movie looks "bad".
-
has a nice rack.
-
It's Spidey, for crying out loud. It ain't "Children of Men." Hell, "Pan's Labrynth" looked pretty mediocre, but it was still a GREAT film. (The day-for-night was especially bad.) I really enjoyed the swinging around. Looks fun.
-
ED not SD. Maybe think twice before correcting someone!
-
Cheney.
-
is it that hard to create a mask that looks like a goblin head? it's possible to pull it off in this movie, but they had to go with the extreme sports look. oh well, still a kick ass clip.
-
In the comics during The Jackal storyline, The Jackal was able to sneak up on Peter and not set off his spider sense. It was because inside his costume, The Jackal was an old friend of Peter's and did not register as a threat on his spider sense radar. "Oh, it's my old buddy, no need to sound the alarm."<br> Maybe they are using that in this story and Peter will have to deal with Harry spider senseless. It would up Harry's threat factor for certain.<br> I always found it curious that Norman Osborne didn't set off Parker's spider sense at the Thanksgiving dinner in the first one. But it may have been Norman and Goblin were so distinct in Norman's brain that his normal self wasn't a threat. But they did seem to be merging into one constant sociopath, didn't they?
-
does the CGI look worse than it was in the first one. It fealt like I was watching a cartoon. I'll still go see it, damn you Raimi for teasing me with Venom and the propect of Bruce "Don't call me Ash" Campbell as Mysterio!
-
No specail suit needed. All he has is a uber glider but yet he can tear out a brick wall, throw a man well over 100 feet? My problem with the Spiderman series has always been that it does not play by any consistant rules of its universe. I'll buy in to a comic movie as long as it sets its own rules. In one movie, Spidy stops a train using only his feet and webbing, in another balances a cable car and human in opoosite hands but each exhibits the same strain????? and in that clip, uber powerful spiderman elbows Harry in the face, which, according to the feats hes already done, should have killed Harry instantly, but now Harry is of equal strength??? Wow. Thats just lazy and tells me spiderman could have lazer beams shoot out his ass if the plot needed him to do it. No consistant laws in this comic universe.
-
Just ask DHAMAKA2007.
-
That's interesting. I'm not familiar with the Jackal story....but I thought his spidey sense kicked in no matter if the threat comes from someone unexpected...in that case a former friend? And I think the level of the threat doesn't matter, meaning if a gun was pulled on him or if a snowball was thrown at his head...his spidey sense would still go off?<p>I think since Norman wasn't doing anything besides bringing a fruitcake, it wasn't deemed a threat.
-
Yeah, Spidey would smash that boy's face in to where it looked like something from Ogrish.com. Can't have that happening, though.
-
I once heard Raimi say that he always tries to show the faces of the characters in his Spidey films. That's why Peter's costume is always tearing, why his mask came off during the SM2 train sequence, and why this unmasked Harry vs. Peter fight was put into SM3. He feels that the audience is more engaged when they can see the faces behind the costumes, and that it looks less cartoonish. He actually wanted to change Spidey's costume to show his eyes, but he was talked out of it.
-
Spidey can disregard his spidey sense, but he has to concentrate on ignoring it since it takes a lot of effort. Perhaps while on his zippy moped he's in his happy place and ignores his spidey sense with ease...<p>Only sharks have laser beams, and they are on their heads...in lieu of that...mutated sea bass.
-
Don't forget that!!! his surfboard also does taxes
-
making one's face impervious to elbows to the face by people with the proportionate strength of a spider.
-
The suit only gave osborn protection from bullets and jazz like that, he already had super strength from the serum he drank. The same serum that Harry found at the end of the last movie, so we're to assume he drank it and now has the super strength aswell... I can't explain the difference bewteen the train/cable car, my only guess would be that he'd grown in strength between the first and second movie.... As for not smashing in Harry's face and killing him.... he IS still Harry's friend, regardless of if Harry is trying to kill him, he just wants to slow him down, not use all his strength.... Kinda like Superman never using his full strength on villains... otherwise he'd be knocking heads off left and right ala Superboy...
-
Heads flying everywhere.
-
KRRISH MAKE SHINY BEDPOSTS FROM RAIMI HANDS. SPIDERMAN 3 BURN IN FLAMES AS KRRISH MAKES HIM EAT LACE CURTAINS DECORATING COFFIN OF UNCLE BEN. SILVER SURFER WOULD MELT SANDMAN INTO GLASS HE HAS COSMPIC POWERS, AND CAN ALSO DO YOUR TAXES. (thanks Kloipy!)
-
You are all witness to my demise...
-
From Muhammad Ali. Just a quickie thing where Routh can say something cheesy like "You're still the greatest" or something, as a nod to the epic Supes vs Ali comic book. Ok - just a thought. Now, back to Spiderman (which will own all sorts of badassness).
-
just pillow talk, doesn't that sound disgusting when taken on it's own?
-
Isn't safe to assume that Harry has been taking his father's performance enhancing drugs, making him strong enough to take a Spidey Punch, or possess the ability to throw Pete around a bit? This is where I think your argument loses all credibility and your just bitching because complaining about Spidey is apparently the cool thing to do on these boards: You seem to know alot about the films and the universe, and so I believe that someone with your expertice would have the ability to recognize that Harry must be using his fathers formula since Spidey 2 ended with him finding his fathers lair. But your shirking your possession of that knowledge, and I know you have it, simply so you can bitch about something that doesnt even reach the level of annoyance as a boom mike spotted in a shot for half a second. You suck dude. You reall really do.
-
Pathetic. Who can honestly follow any of that action? Looks like the end of the line...er, web.
-
Spidey didnt stop the train using only his feet and webbing. He used BUILDINGS as well. And as far as the "equal strain" thing goes, get a fucking life man. Pick up a dresser and see if you dont strain or grunt the same way as you would picking up a dining room table. Apples and oranges, nerd.
-
was how the scooter came back to Harry when they were separated. I thought that was sweet. A boy and his scooter...awww. I almost cried.
-
I guess it depends upon the context:<p>I wouldn't mind shooting all my goblin serum over Ali Landry...if you know what I mean...<p>Why just slip into madness...take the plunge. The water is warm.
-
I have to go purge now.
-
Is this the plot for Hostel 3: Hellton Hotel???
-
Why didnt he just call Harry and explain to him what happened a long time ago, then Harry wouldnt still be trying to kill him lol. I mean, its not like Harry doesnt know he's Spider-man already. I didnt care for those lovey dovey scenes at the beginning of the clip either *gag* I guess thats to try to make it part chick flick to get the female audience.
-
if he walked in on Harry banging Aunt May while getting a rim job from MJ and playing the xylephone made from Uncle Ben's bones
-
Actually, if you watch the clip again, Petes facial expression is one of sensing danger a second or two before Harry lifts him into the air.
-
It was artificial insemination using Goblin serum.
-
Spidey writers have been tweaking the "rules" of Spidey's sixth sense for decades. The most common explanation of how it works is: It goes off whenever Spidey himself is in some immediate danger, whether it's from a falling safe, Doc Ock, or Aunt May's five-alarm chile. This has been contradicted on umpteen occasions, however: In one issue, Aunt May whacks him with a flower pot and it doesn't warn him cuz it was just li'l old May Parker; in numerous other stories, he uses it to track enemies, as in "I'm getting a mild buzz from my Spidey Sense; the Scorpion must be nearby!" Of course, it shouldn't work that way cuz he himself is in no danger from the lurking villain. Venom is a whole other story: While bonded with Spidey, the symbiote figured out how the Spidey Sense worked and how to counter-act it while bonded with Eddie Brock. But really there's no good reason why Harry should be able to swoop in and attack Petey on his moped in this clip... but it's still cool as hell!
-
and you can see Donald Trump in the background trying to stop Harry from attacking Peter. It's there, trust me.
-
Sure, Doc Ock could suppress the will of the arms when he's conscious, but once he's unconscious, the arms could take over again and get him out of the water. That could easily explain his return. <p> Having said that, I don't realistically see anybody making a movie with the Sinister Six. People complain enough when there are two villans in a movie. It would be an uproar. <p> If they really want to pick a top-tier villain, there's always Stilt Man. He was awesome!
-
Do you really think they would kill off a major character from all 3 films with such an anticlimatic death? Nope. Watch the first spidey 3 trailer, you can see harry's death plainly there: Peter walking away, evil look on his face, pumpkin blowing Harry to hell. Peter with the symbiote kills Harry. By the way, this entire clip takes place after the symbiote gets Peter, you can see the dark makeup under his eyes in the first scene. I also hate the extreme sports look of Harry.
-
in 1 he strains and then goes and fights. in 2 he freaking passes out, almost falls to his death and then is captured and chained... that seems like a difference to me.
-
I'll bet you my left nut that the pumpkin bomb doesnt kill Harry.... or maybe I know something you dont know :/
-
sequels as well. It seemed a little of the shimmy sham and they think they can get away with it because it's the Matrix and anything can happen in the Matrix which is a bit of a cheat. Well, obviously not because a movie has to follow its own internal logic. And turned into a the navel gazing exercise in the end. They talked around it when they should have SHOWN it if they really wanted to be that ambitious.
-
about these movies. Like being a hero has anything to do with having a personal stake in it? But then virtue is considered BORING by Hollywood.
-
VENOM!!!!hehehe*quivers in geek gravy*
-
In one hand, a cable car weighing at least several tons, in the other, 90'bs, yet he has to choose? Just toss that feather weight to where your standing and then use bot arms to pull up the cable car. But not in the movie, there its a epic struggle as he can only save one at a time. Why would the girl pull on his left side with the same strain as the car on the other? Completely illogical, even for comic book logic. Ill see #3 and I even like all so far, but they took so much car to make these movies, I just wish the plot points would be consistant in terms of his abilities.
-
It's just a movie dude
-
I wonder if they'll still try and spin Uncle Ben's death on the Sandman ...I hope not.
-
And I still have a problem with the whole "resurrection" thing at the end. Huh? Wrong movie? Sorry, I thought this was a "Passion" TB.
-
He's been eating Uncle Bens let alone morning him!
-
Exactly what is wrong this this type of CGI. That's what I meant when I said even if you are going to use it, for it to be effective, you have to help it out a little. CGI still needs to be directed it's not just: you can do anything!
-
A great example of how CGI can be used to terrific effect is Jurassic Park. It was used as one piece of the puzzle. Unlike Kong or the latest rash of CGI fests, in JP it was one element that added to the effect of a shot or a scene. When entire sequences are constructed in a computer, the shift in technique is apparent even to the uninitiated, and it takes us out of the story. As superninja says, "CGI still needs to be directed."
-
poorly framed the CGI is even in comparison to a comic book panel is very true of most CGI of this kind.
-
Wow. Some of you people just want to bitch and bitch and bitch. I've watched this clip three times now, and it's thrilled me every time. Of COURSE it's going to look "effect-ish" to you... Your rational mind KNOWS that it's impossible for a web-spinning kid to battle his skyboard-riding friend/enemy above the streets of NYC. I'll give you that. But... but... you can't suspend your sense of disbelief?<p>No effect is ever perfect, but having said that, I absolutely LOVED what I saw in this clip. That "giant Sandman" at the very end made the hair stand up on the back of my neck...

I swear it's there.

is GGI but it works seamlessly within the rest of the film. I do not think that is the case here. It looks like they inserted a video game sequence.

It's not quite the same as sculpting yourself nipples into your armor. Now that's sick.

If a stuntperson is doing his or her job, we barely register his/her presence. But when the stunt work is obvious, the players might as well be waving at the camera. We KNOW that Daniel Craig isn't diving onto the swinging arm of a crane, but we buy it at the time. Suspension of Disbelief: Catch It! When CGI is overused, it's the filmmakers waving at the camera, saying, "Hey, isn't this amazing?" No, it's not. If I had $250 million, I could make all sorts of amazing things happen. Hell, I could make a movie full of nothing but spaceships taking off and landing and doors opening and closing. What? Lucas did that already? Damn!
-
...makes me wish that India would adapt Spider-Man too! We Japanese made Spidey our own using our cultural tropes - - so why not other countries? Can you imagine it a four hour epic with a musical dance number every ten minutes or so? Peter and Mary Jane demurely ducking behind some conveniant foliage whenever they wish to kiss? And Bobby Christo to play the arch-villain!

manhole cover for a nipple! It's amazing! Here's a screenshot I took earlier today, just before I started sawing into my wrist with a plastic spoon. I posted it at my friend's Flickr account he never uses: http://tinyurl.com/36e539

<p>covering her face already. God, that's a great idea Onomaki. Bollywood meets Spider-Man. The thought of it gives me goosebumps.</p> You catching any of this DHAMAKA2007? Spidey's coming to your neighborhood and he's...going...to...dance!

TO DESTROY AND BURN YOUR PRECCIOUS SPIDER-FELLOW WITH SIGNIFICANT LASER BEAMS AND HOLY RELICS. SAM RAIMI, YOU CAN LICK A BALL OF MINE FOR THE PLEASURE OF NOT DISEMBOWELING THE GREAT KRRISH.

That'll really help bring in the 10-20 year old boy demographic that movies like this have such a hard time reaching. Very clever mister Raimi! <p> other than that, very entertaining. May is still a boring old hippy though.

screened and painted as an exact replica of the one seen in the movie.

Aunt May harping on again. MJ being rubbish, and having a real chubby face. Tobey Maguire's "squeezing out an unexpected shit" method of acting. Absolute rubbish. And Harry would be dead, end of story, he possesses no super powers, a fall like that? Dead. And Aunt May couldn't make a cup of tea to save her fucking life, that "tea" was blatantly just water. Fucking Yanks.

How continental!

They only give me plastic utensils here, because they know what I would do with metal. Oh, sweet madness.

To know this flicks gonna kick as much arse if not more than the first two. And you negative nancies need to get laid or something...nitpicking everything like a bunch of malcontent, unappreciative losers...I mean, a guy named "la sith" complaining about acting? Obviously your name is a refernece to Star Wars, and although I'm a HUGE fan of the series, no one is in denial about the awful acting throughout it. Tobey Maquire is great, and yeah Kirsten Dunst can be a little wooden,(heheh), she's a far cry better than Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, or anyone but Han and Chewy from the first three.
-
That got me all excited for Spidey again.<P>The effects look a little funny in places . . the acting ain't great in places . . .but that has been the beauty of the other 2 Spidey films and I loved them and I just don't see this being any different.<P>Me getting all excited and impatient now. If only I could track down Repligin for his time machine I could jump into the future and then come back and tell you all about how damn good this film is
-
you complainers have lost your ability to enjoy media. either that or you are too spoiled with modern-day filmmmaking. go back and watch a few sinbad movies, and remember what it's like to have fun with movies, without the need to have it being "realistic." fantasy films should take you away from reality... not cram your face into it.

The Flame will be a very hot curry. Sue Storm will be, well, hot. I like your choice for Mr. Fantastic. Dr. Doom will be renamed Agra Tandoori. And garlic nan will be everywhere.

Agreed, films should take you out of reality. But bad effects shouldn't drop you back into it. To me it doesn't have to be photoreal, it just shouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. The effects from this clip definitely do that. One moment I'm seeing live action, then cut to video game footage, then live action. Sorry but even the good "bad effects" movies of yore blended it all together into one coherent piece. Even if the effects didn't look real, they still felt like part of the world. I always felt Sony and Digital Domain f'ed up everything they did because they refused to use black when it was required. The darkest black is only ever dark gray to them. All you have to do is take a screenshot of the live action and a screenshot of the cgi into photoshop and compare the shadows. The live action HAS pure black damn it. Bite the bullet and make it black.
-
But seriously, a hot curry cannot beat the COSMPIC POWER!
-
I hate that gray shit.
-
And the latent undercurrent of racism. Try to remember, I am quite out of my mind. I have covered the walls of my cell with finished sudoku puzzles I picked up off the floor of subway cars. There is a music to the numbers, a beauty to the scribbled answers.

SILVER SURFER BURNS HOTTER THAN THE HOTTEST CURRY. HE WILL DRIZZLE LIQUID CRUMBS OF UN MERCY AS YOU WRIGGLE IN YOUR TERRY CLOTH ROBE, SAM RAIMI. F4 2 AND FATHER OF THE BRIDE 3 WILL BE THE OWNERS OF YOU AND YOUR BELOVED SPIDER-BOY.

That Toby still looks like a 15 year old, they bit off WAAAAY more than they could chew with that battle sequence (it looks like PS3 graphics) and Kirsten Dunst STILL has none of the sex appeal that Mary Jane should have. Now I'll go drink some Hateraid.
-
from the set that Harry gobbles Peter.
-
Seriously, doesn't anyone think that they might be expecting just a little too much from a SPFX company that is working on incredibly demanding shots on an incredibly tight deadline? Cut 'em some slack, it's still MILES better than most movies. Reminds me of when people used to see movies in the Model, Matte, and Stop-Motion dats and say, "Oh, that looks soooo fake!". Well, guess what- it IS fake.
-
On another note, there is just no accounting for taste with some folks.
-
insensitive are actually a lot insensitive, and while I rarely "go there," in the mood I am in lately, I could not help but share my vision of a Samosa Thing. I was also a little rough on my favorite TBer of all-time, DHAMAKA2007, by making jokes about Indian gods, but you know, he was asking for it!

on the giant Sandman at the end of the clip? God it's amazing.

Sandman has a manhole cover for a nipple. It's amazing!

Sandman, Sandman, where are you?</p> <p>Is that you inside my shoe?</p> <p>Is that you inside my crack?</p> <p>Is that you covering my back?</p> <p>Sandman, rise, don't be a cripple!</p> <p>Oh! Spider-Man sees your pitted nipple.</p>

Oh no.

The Grand Nipple would not approve.

Oh man.

Now in all honesty, I wasn't that excited about seeing the new spiderman film judging from the trailers and posters - but that the super fookin bad-ass. Oh Sam, why did we ever doubt you?? The one to rule all will be Spidey 3!
-
...similar (there have been incidents in the UK where Welsh were mistaken for South Asian and vice versa on the telephone) Ioan Gruffudd himself could probably read those Rajesh lines and make them work. Listen to Gruffudd speak as himself he could be at No. 42 with the Kumars.

-
Yes.
-
. . .the scene was awesome. It looks like they have a strong script again (at least with what I saw) and the action was once again great. Kudos to the effects team for pulling that scene between Peter and Harry off--that was technical virtuosity, and the head hitting the pipe at the end was some awesome sound editing! I'm pumped to see the movie and look forward to seeing how Raimi & Company balance out all of the other characters with the story as a whole. S.

Thing: It now appears to be the time for unleashing amazing amounts of clobbering and endless smackdowns.<p>The Human Curry: Oh, I most wholeheartedly agree, Mr. Thing - and I, too, shall join in by commanding my physical form to swiftly become engulfed in the heavenly fires of spiciness!

Liking the series. Probably a better script than what Tim Story worked with.
-
Pretty Badass. They shouldve saved it for the big screen though. I think they showed too much.
-
Unless you've got POWER!

Gobble.

..coming up from behind him on the scooter. It's because Harry had taken Peter from behind so many times before, it's second nature to Peter.

I don't have to sit at the movies with my kid alongside you idiots. And to the ones who don't want ANY comic book films, just don't go then, you dimwits. Boycott, I could care less. Looks like more fun to me than half the boring, dull acclaimed movies of the past year that masquerade as art when they're non-medicinal valium subsitutes. Sure there's really crap, but this ain't it, children.
-
Ridiculousness abounds!
-
The bluescreen Parker in civvies was pretty raw, color and contrast not very good. Hopefully it's just a rough cut and the final print will be better quality. Also, the scene with Aunt May was a little slow and didn't really have much punch with Peter just standing there like he'd just been done by a taxidermist. It also looks like this film might be a little too busy with Harry, Sandman, Black Suite, and Venom.
-
terrible SM3 blue-screen shit.

SLEEP WELL

I know it is copywritten material, and they have the right to do whatever they want with their properties, but I was just wondering,"Why now"?

blah
-
I thought that looked amazing, the interpersonal reactions still resonate strongly and that fight, oh my gods, if this is a taste of whats to come how could anyone not be excited? I suspect the people moaning about the CG not looking real forget that there are actually no real Spiderman to draw comparisons from, so unless your swinging through NY on clotheslines where do you get off saying it looks fake?, how the hell do you know? Count me excited and front of que, this ones gonna own the summer. It was 5 am when I watched it and I was literally shouting out loud at my PC, go Spidey.

Take a peek....

all that needed was Eva Mendes boobies, which rock yo.

i finally got to see ghostrider and man, that must have been the most laughable comic book movie ever, i tried so hard to take it serious but i just couldn't.. the editing and direction of the film were so horrible, i just couldnt stop laughing at the wrong places..

actually accusing (for real) fellow talkbackers in a nerd forum "dorks". <p> wait, NHRonin- aren't you the same weirdo that accused the government of losing vietnam because it was too "politically correct"? Wow man, I'm still shaking my head over that one, and that was like, two weeks ago.
-
(Spolier ALERT: Even though I'm probably dead wrong) I'm thinking Harry saves Peter somehow from Venom but also dies in the process. MJ leaves for LA and Peter only has his Aunt and Gwen at the end of 3. 4 you have the Lizard and I don't know Kraven? I have one question though in one of the clips at the end Sandman looks like he is growing the size of a building, what is that on him is that the black suit? Seeing that scene makes me think Sandman is also fighting at the end of this movie.

Who else think that Jamie Bamber who plays Apollo on Battlestar Galactica might be a suitable follow-up?<P>I'm thinking that he could bring an older version of Spidey, he has the built to wear the suit and with a good Director behind the lens he could do a good acting job... <p>I'm wondering who else could fill in the shoes and make Parker seem a little less "kid that never grew up" feel to it. Not that I'm bashing Tobey on this, it's just that he doesn't look like he could make the character grow up he has that "too young" look which was great for the first two movies (We'll see about the third, I ain't giving up yet) but I'd like to see the fourth movie take place a couple of years later, Spidey has been on the block for a couple of years. Parker has established himself has a fairly good Photographer.<P>I think that Jamie Bamber could fill in after Tobey. He's got the Parker look, actign is not great but then a Tv Series doesn't always get the best budgets to help out and get those 20 + takes and a good Director will help out develop the skills he'll need.<P>Anyways, just a tought...
-
I can understand the complaints in this series since there have been times when the CGI was bad. But it has not bothered me since the rest of the story was great for me, so it's easy to forgive some of the CGI.<p>By way of comparison, I think everyone can say that the little CGI that was in Superman Returns was pretty good, but of course the story sucked. I would rather have the CGI of Spiderman than Superman Returns if the story is much better. Plus I don't think the CGI was bad in this clip to begin with.
-
...Dunst just doesn't do Mary Jane any justice... She has nothing to turn heads, oh of course she'll put out like a bent backwards brokeback screaming banshee in the back of Jake Gyllenhaal's 69 camaro, but has far as looking like a top notch model that gets the heads turning... <P>I give her a 2.5 out of 50... <P>They need to get a real looker for the next flicks. A natural redhead would be nice, I'm guessing there might be a few out there.<P>As far as J. Jonah Jameson is concerned, don't change him.. keep J.K. Simmons in! Jesus! WHo else looks the freaking part better than him!?!?!?<P>James Franco was another good casting call that should stay on if they continue (Unless they kill him too in the Spidey 3 flick (Hell why not kill everyone, we all know how expensive it is to keep people behind bars, and the fact that the character actually died in the comic book would be somewhat of a good thing to go on, but he still hasn't met the wife and gotten the kids so...).<p> Who else wants to go at it and see who else could fill the shoes for the next flick...
-
CGI is not going to be perfect that's for sure, but like you said, when a story is in there we can forget about it not being 100% perfect to looking like the real thing.<P>ANd Spiderman's flicks may not have had an Oscar nomination for "Best Story" that's for sure, it still had some of the elements that made it seem good enough to love the movie and want to buy it.<P>Superman, was the biggest disapointment ever. And the CGI were pretty damn cool. but when you get to the Storyline and you feel like you're being cheated by some lame ass director (notice the NOT capitalized "D" for the title 'cause he does not deserve it) then you start picking on the smaller things that shouldn't even get a bad review. Story aside I would've given Superman Rerun an 8.5 out of 10 for the effects ("Rerun", yes.. it's a freaking copy off of the first movie which makes it the most un-imagined story ever). But since the storyline was so blatenly destroyed then it affects everything and drops it down to 5.

Dude, you're a little nuts - don't tell people you're a DC fan, ok? Because it takes a long time to overcome some of the stereotypes associated with DC. Like Elongated Man. And Detective Chimp.

He has said so in many interviews. I'm sure they will wave a lot of money at him, but does he really need it? I think he's kind of bored with these movies. As for his replacement, I still say Jake Gyllenhaal is getting into that suit.
-
...Is good.. and if they get him, we're almost sure of not getting Dunst back because of their off again - on again relationship, who would want to risk the bitch fight on the set?! No Dunst = BONUS!
-

I think someone new for Parker would be a good thing
by just pillow talk
Dunst is like Bosworth for me...doesn't do anything for me in the movies.
-
and let him write the script. The story would reveal that PP actually killed Uncle Ben weeks before the day it appeared he died. He kept his body in the fruit cellar, took him out and dressed him up and left him sitting in a rocking chair while PP tended to their motel, Ben Parkers' Rest Lodge. Then one night a car pulls in, and a beautiful woman checks into the Lodge. She is played by Hallie Berry and is dressed like a cat. He spies on her through a peephole while she gives herself a tongue bath. He gets excited, shoots his web prematurely, and kills her and puts her in the trunk of her car and encases the car with webs. He then takes Dead Uncle Ben to town, frames a lowlife for his murder, and spends the rest of his days making shadow puppets against the walls of the NY Public Library, whistling the theme from "The Magnificent Seven" quietly to the rats who squeal their approval. Gold, I tell ya, gold.
-
Her acting is wooden in these films and they always make her look ugly. I don't get it. She has done better acting - and LOOKED better - in so many other films. Check out Elizabethtown, Crazy/Beautiful, The Virgin Suicides. Maybe they will recast MJ or write her out of the series.
-
God help us all.
-
Don't worry.. He's frozen... He'll be back in 40 or 50 years...<p>Yeah Dunst needs to go. Having seomone to replace the cast that's in place should be done by a big name Director. This way you pull some credibility on the new choices. And heck, it,s not like Marvel Studio or Sony don't have the money to back up a big gun on the next flick. Sam Raimi id a good job, but The second movie with Doc Octupus did not push us in a new direction. Hopefully this third one will with all the darknest of the Venom Symbiote.<P>Anyway, need new blood for the next flicks. I'm also hoping to see only one good vilain next time around. Three just seems too much. Let's get the Lizard, or Electro, heck let's go for RIHNO. Sandman is a classic and needs to be in this third one, I tip my hat off to Raimi for going for him.
-
THIS...IS...SPARTA!!
-
I wonder if it makes a squeeking sound when they're you know...
-
aka Bronx Cheer go on dude.
-
I might have gotten carried away with my fantasy casting but for a dead guy he's made it to every movie so far. I guess the best route would be like you said ,having someone else step in the Goblin suit and scaring the shit out of Parker. I also agree that if Tobey Maguire backs out of a fourth and says he won't do anymore the movies will go on without him just like the Bond films, only cooler. There is just way to much source material to stop after three and for the love of God the money just keeps growing each time. Mark my words if Maguire and Dunst both go out then the casting call for a new Spiderman will bring out the hottest young Hollywood stars around.
-
didn't get back to your comments quick enough to be relevant to this board anymore... but i appreceiate your comments back. you make some excellent points, and i would be inclined to agreeing with them.
-
"appreciate"
-
You're probably not coming back to this TB, but just in case....<p>I just watched the first Spidey movie again last night, and I'm not sure where your problem is with MJ/cable car. Spidey grabs MJ first,swings to the falling cable car, and with MJ holding on, grabs the cable car's cable, and shoots his web at the bridge. The Goblin comes flying in repeatedly whacking him while MJ is sliding down the cable to the cable car. There is not one instance when Spidey is struggling to hold MJ. Not sure what you saw dude...
