And I would like to say that it's about freakin' time, too. I guess they had to edit A scene where spider-man caught a helicopter in a web he spun between the two WTC Towers.

The kid looks silly, the effects are naff, the script looks like Green Goblin on crack, the only thing that can save it, IMHO, is Willem Dafoe.

Actually, I have heard that the Twin Towers scene is ONLY in the trailer.

Isn't that what joshw just said? The scene was edited. As in edited out.

Bunner, why are you down on so many movies? What kind of movies do you like?

That scene wasn't ever going to be in the film. It was created specially for the trailer, or "teaser", as it's known by sad film buffs.

I've had a bad feeling about the movie ever since coming across this promotional picture:

I don't like it when they try to turn perfectly good comics into a movie. Usually the cartoons are ok, but the movies generally suck.

What's wrong with turning comics into movies? If they hadn't done that, we would have never seen Tim Burton's Batman, Richard Donner's Superman or the excellent Superman II (granted, III and IV sucked, but in my reality, they never existed in the first place), the well-done Flash TV series, the dark and action packed Blade (and from what I hear, the sequel is supposed to be a lot more horror oriented), and Bryan Singer's very competent X-Men.

If you go along Kat's line of reasoning, why make perfectly good BOOKS into movies? Then we wouldn't have to sit through "crap" like, Dr Zhivago or The Wonder Boys or any of those other "bad" movies. Why can't everyone just read and stay home?

There's been a lot of bad comic book movies, but that's no reason not to try and make good ones.

Here's what they're using for the screen treatment on the Spidey movie:

I think that balding guy in the shorts is pulling a variation of the "popcorn trick".

Just like in the above comic, in the movie every shot of S-Man will include him holding a script, or so I've heard.

Has anyone ever played spiderman on computer or 64? That, I must say, is an AWESOME game! You can do everything spiderman can do. It also includes all the costumes from Captain Universe to Scarlet Spider. There is also Cameos of DareDevil and Black Cat. Try it. It is very cool.

Including the symbiote costume? And if so, does he get the powers of the symbiote costume too?

Oh, Jesus. I can't believe a mastermind such as Funny Bunny got taken in by that one. I mean the coprophagic grin should have tipped him off.

Well, you do get the symbiote costume, but it doesn't come with any special powers, except for unlimited webbing. Thats it. The Captain Universe costume is the best because its got Enhanced Strength, Unlimited Webbing and Invulnerability. It looks stupid though.
