Amazing Spider-Man Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face!

There's been a lot of people trash talking about the upcoming Spider-Man costume. Here are my thoughts...

There's been a lot of negative comments uprising over the Amazing Spider-Man movie.



This was the first released picture of Andrew Garfield in the new costume. One of the things people were complaining about was the fact that Andrew is a lot smaller than Tobey and makes Spider-Man look lengthy and skinny. Spider-Man is usually depicted as a pretty skinny guy. He was bitten his senior year of high school. How many nerdy photographers in high school do you see buffed up and on the juice? There are so many different series of Spider-Man where he is in fact the skinniest dude around. A perfect example would be the Ultimate Spider-Man series.



Point made? And at least give the kid a chance to be Spider-Man before you make you're assessments. Tobey did great, for the first movie. He was the perfect nerd. They started him off in high school and then magically jumped him into college in one scene, but then Spider-Man 2 and 3 came out and you can just tell that he was kinda too old to be Spider-Man. Spider-Man 3 was such a disappointment to me that I'd be the first to say a reboot is a great idea. Not as badly as Fantastic 4 needs to start from scratch, but still. This kid is young, he fits the part, he did such an amazing role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and won awards for his role in The Social Network, and honestly, Tobey Maguire cries too much. Kinda made Spidey seem like a tween.



You can't tell me that doesn't look good. I'd like to think that they are actually trying to keep to the original story line. The movie will be called "The Amazing Spider-Man", just like the original Spider-Man comic series. I'm stoked that they actually gave him his web-shooters instead of webs magically coming out of his wrist. I think the golden eyes are one of the best touches they did. I've never seen that done to Spider-Man before, and I know it's not original, but at the same time they needed to do something new that comic book fans wouldn't have expected. Nothing drastic like webs coming out of his wrist, but a simple eye color change was brilliant. The thing I like about the costume is that it looks very similar to the Ben Reilly Spider-Man costume.



As you can tell they look very alike. The simple point I'm trying to make is that the costume looks good and has good potential for the new Spider-Man film. I know people are still going to hate on the costume along with the movie (even though Stan Lee himself was defending it on his Twitter), but as soon as the movie comes out you won't hear that many people complaining about it anymore. So take that haters. Comment my article and tell me if you liked it or disliked it. You can email me at [email protected] and give me some ideas about what you'd like me to rant about next week. SHABLAGOO!

The new Spidey costume looks sick. And Spidey's supposed to be skinny as shit.. I've never seen him in comics where he's swoll. Yea he's ripped as [frick] but never swoll! I like how he'll actually have web shooters this time around though

I'm stoked on this movie. I don't even care about the suit I just want a wise-cracking, comic-driven Spider-man and I think we'll get it in this. Maybe it won't do as well at the box office as the last franchise, but this is a fan's movie

The suit is sick as fuh! And Garfield is gonna own this role!
Emma Stone on the other hand can go the hell away. No matter what anyone says, she will never be Gwen Stacy to me. EVER

I do agree that there is way too much hate for this film. Cause I love all things Spider-Man, I naturally cannot wait.

First of all, I can tell you this movie doesn't look good. It hasn't done anything to impress me. At the same time, it hasn't done anything to dissapoint me. I currently can't make a clear judgement about this film. It doesn't look good or bad yet.
Second, I think you need help. For some reason, you apparently think changing the eyes from white to gold is genius. It didn't help that you didn't really explain why you thought this. I don't get what's so amazing about making pointless changes like that. Not that I hate the change, it's just I can't see why anybody loves it. Besides, that was a promotional picture in the old trilogy the promotional picture had Spider-Mans eyes gold.
Third, Stan Lee puts everything in a positive manor.
Lastly, sorry for the late feedback.

I heard that it wasn't a reboot, but something that happened in between movies

So...going by the (too shiny IMO) costume that looks like Ben Reilly's.....What if it IS Ben Reilly?

Well, I don't think Ben Reilly was there when Uncle Ben got shot, which we've seen in one of the set videos.
