-------------------------------

Looks like it will be pretty good, and same events as the original. Maybe they will be able to take this Spider-Man reboot further than the original.

yikes, not another teen superhero movie/sequel, not to mention that the spiderman franchise doesn't have much to offer anyways - after the whiny & annoying maguire & dunst duo vs some of the lamest opponents ever, comes the confused/emo wannabe along with a number of virtual no-names (including the talentless i-fans) that has 'failure' written all over it


focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.

the only things amazing here are the seemingly indestructible or never-ending industrial sh*t-to-gold mechanism coupled with the lap-it-up attitude of (some of) the viewers

verdict: junk, simple as that


and another thing, notice how the movie (along with numerous other movies, somewhat also comics, books) supports/promotes a contrived idea of heroism & heroes, where these individuals usually start off as some troubled, 'different' outcasts, 'rebels' & weirdos in general (or as a result of some devastating personality-changing event, usually a tragedy), fanatically embracing some socially acceptable (ie. heroic, as opposed to villainous) extraordinary/extreme activity, which paints their behavior as something uncharacteristic of the ordinary individual, implying how heroism is something exclusive and rare, whereas it is quite common, when not viewed as a specific extracted subset, fi. the so-called 'struggle to survive' is an example of a common heroic behavior inherent to all beings, (dedicated) parenting may be another (though temporary), etc.

a hero is basically simply a highly dedicated individual, devoted to some goal (regardless of what the society 'thinks' of that goal, because the societal standards are usually/often arbitrary and relativistic, ie. not aligned with the fundamental 'principles' of existence, but rather aligned with a selected subset that supports its dominating position, that provides supporting material for its pillars)

a superhero is a term for a super-human hero, a hero with super-human abilities, to put it bluntly, its the guy who can jump (way) more than others (in a society that admires 'jumping')

- a true hero (societal-wise) is one completely dedicated/devoted to a societally/socially acceptable goal, the true villain being his opposite (regarding the societal dualistic scale/range of values)
- a true hero (linguistic-wise) is one completely dedicated/devoted to a goal, the true villain having the same characteristics, though a different goal (putting aside the societal influence onto linguistic interpretation, which steers it into the previously mentioned 'definition')
- a true 'hero' (essential-wise) is one completely dedicated/devoted to a fundamental/existential goal (where the distinction between hero-villain has no meaning, simply because this distinction is non-fundamental in the first place, this also means that the term 'hero' or 'heroism' becomes inadequate to describe this 'state', especially if still thought of in a dualistic way, not to mention how 'linguistics' and even 'thinking' itself are inadequate to accurately convey the meaning of such a 'state', this 'state' has to be experienced or attained in order to be properly or truly understood)

Is this a follower of the first 3 movies or it's completely different BS ?

I just hope they do the comic books justice for once and create an accurate image of a funny spiderman based in an duplicate of our own universe.

I have more faith in this director than sam raimi..I am sure he will exceeds everyone exceptions quite easily...

I have more faith in this director than sam raimi..I am sure he will exceeds everyone exceptions expectations quite easily...

Director: Marc Webb?

...who so far in ~12 years directed only one (lame) movie and a handful of unrelated projects (tv episodes, documentaries/music videos) - i wonder how you came to this conclusion...

as for raimi, he didn't direct anything noteworthy since around 1998., not to mention he already had 3 chances to make an entertaining spiderman movie and pretty much blew 'em all...bad

[shawshankraj]

500 days of summer was quite a very good movie..

[fuzzy]

Webb may not be the best director for this movie, Garfield may not be the best Spidey, and they might not even have written the best script for this movie, hell, this might be even worse than I've come to believe, but despite all this, I am a Spidey fan, so I'm wasting two hours on this movie be it the lamest movie I've seen lately.
