Willem Dafoe Once Again Knocks THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Reboot

Of course its the same fricking story! its based on the same character's origin story. GTFO!

I love you Dafoe.

Is he trying to say that nobody should ever do spidey's origin story again?

I'll just leave this right here "SHIT MOVIE".

I really tried to like it. But, it just sucked on so many levels. It was a 'paint by numbers' film. No joy, no originality, just blaaaa.

@DrDoom... wow just... wow

Oh boy it's happening again in the comments section...



TASM sucked as simple as that, props to Willem Dafoe, but he should seriously play the Green Goblin again.

There were some things I liked better about TASM -- the fact that Spider-man actually had quips while fighting, it was less emo, Stone was far better than Dunst, and Leary did a great job. However, Raimi's version got more things right -- better suit (although it appears TASM is fixing that in the sequel), Parker is wimpier, better Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and JJJ was absolutely perfect casting.

I don't think the new one is horrible, but I would say it is is not quite as good . . . yet. It will be hard to beat Doc Ock as one of the best CBM villains ever. On the other hand, SM3 was such a letdown that we can hope that this new incarnation won't have a really bad one like that.

I though TASM's biggest downfall was how it was edited. Shots cutting away at the wrong time and dialogue not fitting together right. So many cringe-worthy moments.

Hopefully Webb gets better with experience, looking forward to seeing the Rhino!

@Linkavitch

Actually taking out those scenes was a huge mistake -_- The movie felt disjointed and the editing was horrible. Those scenes would have made the movie better especially the scene with Connors and his kid.

" I don't necessarily believe that. Well, it was 'tweenish', but the 'too soon' argument doesn't hold enough weight for me, especially when The Incredible Hulk was a very good reboot released five years after the original; the same timeframe as TASM."

Incredible hulk told different story instead of the origin story all over again. All I think throughout ASM was: "seen it, seen it, seen it." That really kept me from taking anything seriously.

As for the tween thing, Peter is basically how tweens describe nerds. Attractive, athletic, well dressed and likable.....but with Glasses. Plus the entire romance is struggless and it basically holds together simply because the leads have great chemistry. Too beautiful leads just spend the entire movie happily in love after just meeting? That's a 13 year old's idea of a great romance.

@McNyagano wow... I can't believe I agree with you. But yeah, those scenes shouldn't have been taken out.

TASM - The editing and story were garbage. Enjoyed the action scenes though.

"Will probably be Amazing in the sequel Spider boy.'

@Mexicansupes, skateboarding removes the nerd from Peter. Nerd is what made him relatable.

He's a dick since he's selfish til the end of the movie and won't redeem himself til the sequel.

I was comparing the overly teenish and corny relationship values to Twilight to what they did in TASM which felt like the same bullshit all over again Hollywood is doing. The only reason why they are trying to make TASM so hip and edgy is because they want to appeal to a newer generation of cringles that don't appreciate the values of the original. It's clearly evident throughout the film. They made Spider-Man an overbearing irresponsible joker and there was barely any evidence of Peter Parker's own genius and wits as he was in the comics.

At times the film tried to be serious but lost it's tone completely all together. I felt like I was watching a dramatized version of Spider-Man produced by CW. They tried to pull the same crap in Smallville trying to bring the character of Superman to a newer generation. For once can we just get a more mature hero. We already know Spider-Man's origins it's just an updated retelling once again. Where Batman Begins retold the origins of Batman perfectly TASM just doesn't understand and yes it does borrow elements and tones from Batman Begins. Imagine if Warner Bros made a film with a teen version of Batman? WB despite their incompetence at times wouldn't be stupid enough to pull that shit. Lesson were definitely learnt from Smallville and how it massively failed. I wish Sony would just balls up and give us an adult version of Spider-Man. One Spider-Man storyline I would love to see adapted is Spider-man:Reign and how they handled a more darker version.
