New Spider-man Movie

[JeyNyce]

Those pics are just so wrong.  Beware the Spider-crotch!!!

[bredon7777]

Its the stupid shoes that ruin the look for me.

I, uh... er... well, here are some new spidey pics: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/125612-spider-man-set-pictures-galore

Apparently, his crotch is a weapon.  

Oh...My...Ahem...Anyway, the costume is still really ugly (the whole thing "ruins it" for me)...Oh...And it's tearing open in the last picture (and not in the crotch, either...Ya pervs!), LOL!

The basic design of the costume is fine... but the details of it are awful.  All the lines in the blue make it just too damn busy.  Seeing that in high definition is going to make my eyes go bonkers.  The black crotch is an annoying addition and at this point --- is worse than bat nipples.  The running shoe shoe treads I would be alright with, if it was the same colors of the costume be it blue, red or even black... but the silver just looks awful.

It looks like he have on boots or sneakers and he painted it to match his outfit

This is why Spider-man's costume should always feature a belt line to draw attention away from his . . . err . . . well, you already know.

You know, maybe Sony's just planning to pull a Fantastic Four (1994) job and justify their rights to the franchise without actually releasing it for the mass public.  At least, I can dream, can't I?

Alright, I'll break it... http://www.slashfilm.com/sony-announces-spiderman-movie-title-amazing-spiderman/
Still not crazy about the suit, but it definitely doesn't look so hideous in this new picture.

It's obviously being colour-corrected to hell for publicity shots and the final movie, so those candid photos of it looking terrible don't bother me that much.  This most recent one actually looks okay, and, for purists, mechanical webshooters are clearly present.

I'm pretty optimistic, although I'm probably the only dude who will miss the organic web shooters. Yeah, I've read spidey since the 80's but I thought the movie taking that route was a real nice shortcut.

[herodad1]

the organic webbing does seem more realistic for the character. i'm sure peters smart buuuttt....

[docdelorean88]

I actually can't stand the "organic" stuff. Mainly because that takes away a major weakness. Running out of fluid, getting the shooters crushed.

I always thought it made sense that when Peter received the abilities of a spider, creating webbing wasn't one of them. A spider's physiology is different than a human. Gaining the spider's basic abilities like proportional strength and speed seems about right. However, the webbing creates issues. Where would the spinnerets be on a human?

The only problem with that is that spiders are neither particularly strong nor fast.  Without webs - the quintessential spider ability - Spider-man really just has generic bug-themed powers.

[Courtnall6]

A red and blue Spider-Man costume...and not a single web in sight....cause when I think Spider-Man I always think "graph paper"!

I also love how the feet have been covered in shade to hide his ridiculous sneakers.

Well...at least he's got mechanical webshooters...so there is still some hope. Bring on the trailer!

I hasten to point out that those media pics are darkened and Spiderman will not always be in the dark.  Seeing the on-site pics, I've decided that I don't like the costume at all.  Unless they plan on touching up every single scene in which that thing appears, it's going to look just as awful on film.  I would think that's a lot of money to throw away on post-processing when they could have just designed a better costume.

The action shots do look like Spidey-style fighting... (except that I don't get why he'd be looking down when he's firing his web-shooters.  hopefully that shot ends up on the cutting room floor.)

only think I could figure out on the looking down when using the web shooters is if it is a case of either the first time he's using them or he is not sure if he still has web fluid left.

As for the costume, there is webbing on the costume.  It is not that visible on the red parts due to the position he is in (least on the pic I saw) but the webbing is there.

My biggest issue with the costume (for the most part) is that the black webbing lines should've been a bit thicker.  I mean that's the only way they lines are properly visible in the comic.  Not much thicker but enough to provide more contrast.  Instead, it looks like they web with the literal concept of "spider webs being thin" for the webbing design on the costume.

And Courtnall, I use to always think of graph paper when I saw the webbing on Spidey's costume rather it was in the comic or the old Electric Company TV show.

[herodad1]

i do prefer his web shooters but found it hard to believe how he invented the web fluid. just one of those things i guess. spiderman use to be my favorite superhero. still is way up there but lean more toward THOR nowadays.

[freegentile]

Ghastly pictures. Must be a ton of CGI planned for this one. Whole thing just stinks having Spidey outside the Avengers circle. Just ain't right.

[herodad1]

anyone know who the villians going to be?

[Talavar]

I vaguely remember hearing that it was going to be the Lizard.  I'm definitely not 100% on that though.

[daglob]

It looks like the "web" is actually cut into the rubber of the suit. It's all straight lines, no scalloping. Like... my god... They've turned Spider-Man into Pinhead!

[cmdrkoenig67]

I agree with Court...There aren't any webs on the costume...In every photo I've seen, it's a grid pattern.

[cmdrkoenig67]

BTW...I just realized something about the darkness of his "Spider-Crotch"...It might be a g-string under the costume (covers the front, but leaves no "underpants line").

I wonder if he'll eat his son?  Ick!

[Tomato]

From what we were discussing on ToF, it's Lizard and Protogoblin. Like... really?

[BentonGrey]

I really just don't care about this movie.  I was already pretty opposed to it because they're rebooting the previous series, which I really liked, but the more I hear about it, the less interested I am.

[Previsionary]

Bump!

Trailer's out: http://youtu.be/-tnxzJ0SSOw

[Outcast]

Wow. Pretty good trailer! July? I thought it would show earlier than Avengers....oh well.

Spoiler

So Lizard is going to be the villain this time...hmmm..with this new enemy and Gwen Stacy as the new love interest...everything seems....new? (for a Spiderman movie)..

[UnkoMan]

That doesn't look too bad. And, to be honest... I think I am okay with the costume now. Movies always got to add sooo much texture to the costumes, because in real life people in spandex just look dumpy. Fine.
I actually dig the sneakers on the soles though. I always wondered what super heroes use for the soles of their shoes? Okay, so Spider-Man technically needs thin material on his feet to still cling to walls, but wouldn't it hurt walking around the streets of New York? What if you step on a used needle?

Anyhow, I'm obviously going to go see it.

[JeyNyce]

Ok, I'll admit that the trailer looks pretty good.  The only thing I don't like is the "Batman" part with his parents and how it looks like they want to keep it dark & grim like.
