I think they could do Kraven in a spidey movie without it being too silly. Imagine (obviously a sequel to this movie) that Spidey shuts down some major gang operations in NYC, so they all pool their resources and hire a bounty hunter to kill Spider-Man: Kraven. Not sure if they could make him more interesting like Green Goblin and Doc Ock in the Raimi films, but it could work.

And Venom is a very good villain. I just wish it was handled better in the third movie.

He was handled that way only because Taibbi hates venom $:\$
Thats why I'm excited about the reboot, a chance to do things right!

Well, do things right with Venom, at least. The first two Spider-Man movies are so utterly perfect that any chance to redo them is just going to sully my opinion of reboots right off the bat. :/

As long as Topher Grace stays far, far, faaaar away Venom should be fine!

Venom sucking had nothing to do with Topher Grace (IMO), it was all in the writing.

In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by his turn as Brock/Venom.

They made him a whiney bitch. "Meh meh meh, please god, kill Peter Parker. He stole my girl and my job." That's not fucking venom.

Substitute "Spider-Man" for "Peter Parker" and it sounds about right. In the comics, Eddie Brock was a whiny bitch too, until the symbiote infected him. I still have those comics.

The only difference was that he was a whiney bitch who worked out.

Zantera · « **Reply #112 on:** January 07, 2012, 05:50:17 AM »

I don't think he was AS whiny. Sure he complained a lot, but I think the Eddie Brock in the old animated series (from 94?) was a pretty good portrayal.
He complained about Parker, but it wasn't to the degree that he looked like a whiny bitch.
While I have nothing against Topher Grace, I think the problem is that Venom should be superior to Spider-Man in terms of muscles and being bigger in general, which Topher really wasn't.
Tom Hardy as Venom... that could be something, just look at him in Warrior.

But talking about possible future movies, apart from Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom (which would be badass), I really think Electro could be a cool villain.
Imagine him draining all the power from Times Square or something (like in the Amazing Spider-Man game), and just being overpowered as hell.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #113 on:** January 07, 2012, 06:34:54 AM »

I agree wholeheartedly that Topher Grace was miscast for the part (although I think he did a decent job with what he was given). I just think the film would have been much better without the symbiote/Venom storyline, and focusing on the Sandman. That part of the film was awesome, and Thomas Haden Church did an amazing job with it.

Zantera · « **Reply #114 on:** January 07, 2012, 06:37:40 AM »

Yeah I definitely agree with you on that.
While I prefer Venom over Sandman, I think it's a rookie mistake to use several villains in one movie, because it very rarely ends up good.
They should always have one villain which they focus on, IMO.

Most of the time, I agree.

Pretty good trailer.

It's actually got me interested now.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

Oh joy, this Peter Parker is going to take the mask off all the time too...

Cool trailer though.

Chino · « **Reply #121 on:** February 07, 2012, 09:58:30 AM »

So is there no green goblin at all this time around?

skydivingninja · « **Reply #122 on:** February 07, 2012, 10:00:45 AM »

That was established like last year.

The amount of people that doesn't know the difference between a reboot, prequel, sequel and remake makes me go..

I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but for over a reason I've been reading stupid posts and questions regarding this movie, and people going "they're redoing the whole thing with new actors", which makes me go "no, they're making a new movie, it has nothing in common with the previous movies apart from characters".

Honestly, it's not a hard concept to grasp, and it's especially frustrating when people are acting like nuts about it, and we had the whole Batman reboot a few years ago, but nobody was asking questions then.

I think it's time too, cause I wasn't batting an eye at this movie till I saw this trailer. Now I'm batting like, both eyes, and I wanna fuck it. Hard. The Lizard, mainly. Mmmm. Scaly holes. It looks pretty badassssssss. Wha? I'z be excitebike.

The first trailer sucked balls. Now THIS one got me excited! Hell yeah, Gwen Stacy!

So this new actor Andrew Garfield was apparently the little kid in Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks from Doctor Who. mind=blown.

Martin Sheen? Fuck yeah.

The Lizard Scientist always was my favorite Spider-Man villain so fuck yeah!

Ħ · « **Reply #131 on:** March 05, 2012, 02:29:05 AM »

Looks really cool. Two issues though:

1) I like Peter better as a nerdy kid than a hotshot/emo/punk kid.
2) I'm not totally sold on the special effects...spidey looks a little too computerized.

I was watching them episodes yesterday! It bugged me for 5 minutes as to where I'd seen him, but when I realised :O

After seeing the new trailer...I really don't really like the direction they're taking with Peter. Toby McGuire was great. Andrew Garfield is too cool to be Spidey.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #137 on:** May 18, 2012, 02:52:34 PM »

It's probably going to be a good film then.

I dunno, Garfield did a pretty good job of playing a bright but nerdy, socially awkward, and more then a little naive college student in the Social Network, so I think he was probably a good choice for the role.

Tobey McGuire was a goody two shoes with no real sense of humor. It looks Andrew's take will be sarcastic, cocky (as spidey) and hated. That's a bit more like character I've read.
