The Spiderman movies were a bit more campier than I remember.

Especially the second one. I wonder what the reboot is going to be liked based on the way the first two were directed?

I hope it's dark and gritty. I also hope Spiderman kills someone. None of that pansy "friendly neighborhood" nonsense.

I dunno, I liked that the Spiderman movies didn't take themselves completely seriously. It's always nice to have a superhero movie that isn't out to be gritty and serious, especially with a world as colorful as Spiderman's.

Still, the third one proved that it's not good to overdo it.

He's going to be a highschooler. I doubt we're getting a dark and gritty version, more like something catered towards the Twilight crowd.

Spider-Man 1 and 2 are better than any "gritty" Nolan Batman movie. You're making it sound like SM movies are like Batman & Robin, which is not true at all. They both have serious moments and real tension.

I watched a bit of Spiderman 1 on HBO a few days ago. For a movie that's 8 years old, it still looks vibrant and new, whereas a movie like Dark Knight looks bland and drab. Superhero movies are not supposed to be for little angsty emo crybabies. Blade would NOT let that happen. He'd slice up Nolan's pansy Batman with his sword and be all like "Some mutha****are always trying to ice skate uphill"

Wow... Nolan tried for a more realistic superhero rather than some guy with powers randomly appearing out of nowhere. I much prefer Nolan's work because Batman ends up being what he really is; a man in a suit. He has no super powers, and therefore shouldn't be able to tackle somewhat supernatural/genetically modified enemies. Honestly, I'm getting tired of seeing the same superhero films being made every year. I enjoy a lot of them, but most of them are just overdone. I'm really hoping there will never be such a thing as a live action Justice League film.

I liked that it wasn't completely serious all the time, but a dark atmosphere could be interesting when dealing with Venom.
I find the "dark and gritty" way that Batman is often depicted rediculous; he's wearing bat costume...

More campy than I remembered too. But still, I think it works. The third is an exception, of course.

I hated in the second one when:

[spoiler] that scene with Mary Jane running through the park and Peter finally getting the girl. SO CRINGEWORTHY! It's not that I think superheroes shouldn't get the girl, it's just the way it's handled is gosh darn annoying. [/spoiler]

They will never do a "dark and gritty" Spider-Man because he's not that kind of super hero. His story does get more extreme when the Civil War comes around, as does pretty much every heroes story, but you're supposed to be able to relate to him. He doesn't kill people, he's a wise cracking neighborhood super hero. His deepest problems are problems that most people his age face. Work, money, girl problems and such. It's not really the darkest individual, y'know? So they don't have a lot to work with unless they went right into the Civil War, which they won't do.

Some of the scenes in those 3 movies are beyond campy, like in the 2nd movie. After Spider-man saved those train passengers, they lift him up like he's Jesus Christ :lol:

That is funny

ON TOPIC: The only person Spider Man had ever killed in the movies was the guy who "killed" Uncle Ben.

Green Goblin killed himself

Doc Octopus sacrificed himself

Eddie Brock (venom) Killed himseld by jumping back into the symbiote

The Sandman never died.

Oh, and the "New Goblin" Killed himself

Well you should have been more specific. Murdering people is not in spider man's profile. If they made a "dark and gritty" spider-man it would not fit well at all. Spider-man is not supposed to kill, it is part of what makes him Spider-man.

Exactly. These people have no idea what they're talking about. Spider-Man is not supposed to be anything like that. Raimi's first two Spider-Man movies are better than any of this Nolan reboot pile of ****.
