And explain to me what areas of this new movie they delved into (Completely) that wasn't already covered in Ramis? Gwen, his parents, Connors, and thats about it. The same exact themes are all explored for the most part, we just spend more time with them.

And not to be page trapped

I mean even Rami's movies did a better job of developing Peter's relationship than this one did and this was coming from the guy who directed 500 days of summer. Then we had to sit through this awkward puzzle of how Peters parents were involved with Connors and what they were working on that was never answered in the slightest and left me more confused than anything else about what they were going for there. Spoiler Connors character also was way under developed and made no sense, the middle of the movie the guy just has double personalities out of nowhere? Sort of like the Goblin did, only that was sort of explained and developed, only here it just was sort of there without any explanation- A friend of mine was convinced that someone else was talking to him in the sewer, thats how terribly developed that whole thing was. Also, in the final battle, did Connors just have a change of heart within .2 seconds after he was beat and decided to save Peter for no real reason? Wasn't he trying to kill Peter just one scene ago when he attacked the high school? Didn't make any sense what so ever. And his plan? Don't even get me started. His whole plan was to turn NY into lizard people? Why, what purpose would this serve him, or anyone for that matter?

We also had to spend like half the movie dealing with things that Rami's movies covered in like fifteen minutes, and they were never really explored through either... Like Peter started as a vigilante to find his Uncles murderer, and then just gives up on it for no reason, literally no explanation - he just stops. We also had to deal with the vaguest end credit scene in the history of comic book post credit scenes. Also, the action was pretty lousy as well.

And as much as I just bashed it, and could go on, I didn't HATE it, it just wasn't a good movie. And the more time you get to think about it, the more you realize how much was just wrong with it.

I liked it better than the previous three, surprisingly. I think you'll enjoy it.

I loved the new Spider-man. However, I did have sex with a freaky ballerina chick afterwards...so my opinion may be impacted by outside influences.

Got my tickets to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I am still deciding about the midnight showing. I don't know about making it nine hours.

Spider-Man was a very entertaining movie. Not great, but certainly good, certainly what one wants from a summer superhero movie that isn't directed by Nolan. Plus I approve of the wardrobe decision to dress Emma Stone in nothing but skirts and boots.

You are either a pathetic liar who is trying to act like a big man on the internet or a total douche bag who is trying to act like a big man on the internet. Im not sure which one you are, but I'm not sure it really matters.

If you are going to be there for the first two, you might as well.

[Bulldogs]

I liked the Spider Man. I'd probably rank it on par with the old one, but better than 2 & 3.

Spider Man spoiler/question.

Anybody know who that was after the credits? I'm hearing it's not Norman Osborn.

It's either Osborn or Mysterio. No ******* clue if not one of them

I assumed that nothing was after the credits since it wasn't tied into the rest of the universe so I left early. What was shown?

Connors is admitted to a prison cell, where is sits down on a chair in the darkness with one overhead light and then proceeds to talk to someone else in the room that isn't shown (you see some shadows), but heard. The voice asks Connor if Peter knows the full story about his parents, to which Connors replies "No" and then then the figure and voice disappear. I think the most you see is a trench coat and hat...but you really can't make anything out. I'm guessing Mysterio.

Really though you didn't miss anything.

About the end credits scene of Spider-Man:

I've heard it could be the Jackal

But he's a Jets fan...and so far has been wrong on the one thing I have ever seen him say.

Must be a wrestling thing?

Im just a badass guy in general. Some people just don't get it. Move on now....Nothing to see here.

This the Man of Steel trailer. It's just a teaser and it doesn't show much. There are two versions of it with two different voice overs from either Jor El (Russel Crowe) or Johnathan Kent (Kevin Costner). If you saw The Dark Knight Rises, you may have seen it already. Unfortunately it's not the extended trailer that was shown at Comic Con.
