THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Rhys Ifans Reveals New Details About The Lizard

So he IS playing him via mo-cap? Was actually wondering about that. Good to hear.

James Vanderbilt seems have written Curt Conner, perfectly.

Rhys Ifans appears to have gotten the character right, in the trailer.

However, the character's CGI rendering looks awful.

Now, I said the CGI looks bad, I'm not commenting on the design.

It'd be cool if we get to see him with the snout. And glad to hear that he played Lizard in mo-cap.

Aha. Several transformations. We'll likely get a 1st, 2nd, and Final Form lizard. Maybe Peter could be trying to stop Curt from achieving final form, seeing as though he loses all human genes and acts with only animal-like thoughts.

It's showing SM3 on FX right now lol. Anyways good to hear its mo-cap I hope we get a about just for a little bit, I don't mind the Gumba face.

I'm getting gradually stocked for this movie...mostly because of Ifans as the Lizard.

Will we see Connors flit back and forth, or is this a gradual transformation?

I don't know if I can say. You'll see transformations of all kinds.

i hope this means we're gonna see a snout version of the lizard.

I just think he needs clothes, w/o them he just looks like some generic reptile thing:( The Movie Looks Great!!

gooooooooomba!!!

Could be the stages are just transitioning from human to what we saw in the trailer and action figures, and not further Lizard development.

Don't get your hopes up for nothing

Nolanite@
Mrs. Nolanite? Does this mean you're finally coming out of the closet? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Tell me though, was that the Robin suit from “Batman and Robin”? :-)

I think the lizard will be Awsome in this movie!!!! And we may get to see a snout but now I'm interested in the different transformations in the movie. And for the lizard not being evil jus misunderstood reminds me of what happened in super 8.

I wanted to see a snout too. However, If the Lizard Did have a snout, the vidcap would have to have been done differently as the placement of the eyes would be off. I think the reason they went snoutless is to try and keep as much of the actor in the shot as they could without going full cg.

IM GONNA END ALL CRITISISM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

FIRST OFF. THIS LIZARD IS A MIX OF ULTIMATE AND THE DITKO LIZARD. THE VERY FIRST LIZARD HAD NO SNOUT. AND ULTIMATE LIZARD HAS NO LAB COAT.
SECONDLY. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, THE FINISHING RESULT LOOKS COOL AND THATS ALL THAT MATTTER. SOME WILL LIKE IT SOME WON'T BUT PEOPLE, STOP SAYING IT SUCKS OR IT LOOKS STUPID, SAY YOU DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOU TRY TO DESIGN SOMETHING BETTER.

i am very very very disappointed with the lizard - so far. of course he's jeckle and hyde. he's essentially spider-man's jeckle/hyde manifestation. the complexity of the villain is so unique. he is parker's friend, and mentor, and continues to be even after the initial transformation. and so while spidey has to kick his ass and bring him to justice, he's also trying not to do exactly that at the same time. the lizard is supposed to be one of the closest match ups for spidey because of his agility. most of spidey's villains are old, slow, rigid, but very smart, because they don't fully mutate, (i.e. doc oc, green goblin, sandman, scorpion, vulture, etc.) where as the lizard when in jeckle state, is not as bright, operates more on instincts and best of all is matches spider-man's agility. parker is a bright guy, but he invariably uses his powers and agility given his opposition. however with the lizard he has to be smarter than the lizard, because the lizard is powerful and his friend. i hope rhys got that. as for the cgi - that is not the lizard - that is a scaled down cloverfield alien with abomination tendencies. and in the short clips, he moves a lot like frankenstein would, all big and clumsy. i was hoping for a more spielberg approach, and actually have the lizard look more like a lizard, or the lizard or velociraptor like rather than emile blonsky's cousin. i mean raptors are scary as is, so that sets the tone already. it'd be like taking a raptor from jurassic park and making it spider-man's best friend. imagine the battles between a super-hero and a more raptor looking creature, as it's hardly been done. we've seen spidey fight men with powers. this lizard is just another, but with a tail. i think the story line for a change is going to bring something fresh to the fans, but the cgi looks like it pre-dates jurassic park 1. when someone injects themself with lizard formula, you'd expect either his human features or his lizard features to show. in this case, the dna has been ignored, and it has generated it's own nose, mouth and overall head shape. it's neither a human's or a lizard's. it's an incredibly detailed mask by looks of it. everything alse about the movie looks awesome, i must say. i like the web slingers - as it shows peter is a genius first, then an unwitting hero (unlike the sometimes retarded toby.) and i like the covert backdrop, it gives a nerd more incentive, when he can be inspired by hard core parents. mary jane was getting old, and i've always prefered blondes to red heads, and red heads only work in comic books because of the colour usage - blonde and brown aren't as visually stimulating. but having gwen in the movie is cool - i like it. mary jane should be brought in as a celebrity crush. an actress parker meets and is captivated by, but cannot get because an actress and a superhero's lives clash drastically - the relationship could even jepoardise his identity with media attention. just a thought. i'm amped for it's release. i can't wait to see it.
