Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
My thoughts:
Spider man: I think its safe to say its looking...eh ish. Darker plot? An actor who simply isn't as well cast as the first one (He seriously looks like he is from Twilight)? A picture of Spidey posing with Gwen Stacy like their in Twilight? I might end up wrong but things aren't looking thier best.
Total Recal: Realy? Who was asking for this? Except now there isn't any mars in it at all and now its just Bladerunner.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Huh. Total Recall without Mars? Really? I mean, the entire Mars plot was a bit silly and it departed a bit from the book, but it wasn't a really bad movie. One of the... less bad, I guess?... Horselover Fat movies.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Wait, what? They remade total recall? WHY?! Oh wait, silly question, because movie execs know that people will go to watch a remake of a well known movie no matter how good/bad it is. Hey, its easier and cheaper than trying to create something new for a change.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Meh, it looks interesting enough. It could be better. I haven't seen that much to make a firm opinion yet. I do kind of wish they just went forward from the third movie. I mean it was bad, but there have been worse films that have had sequels.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
I saw this in one of the 3D movie previews. From what I remember, most of it was taken up by the first-person camera from Spider-Man's perspective, complete with crawling around on walls and flipping around the camera orientation. I'm not a fan of that style of camerawork to begin with, and given that was basically the entire preview, it did not make me interested in seeing the movie.
No comment about the cast, as I didn't recognize them and didn't see enough to get an opinion.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Total Recall . . . without Mars?
Sounds like a ripoff of the Borne Identity.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Total Recall. Not likely. But I've been wrong before.
Spider-man. It's too soon to Redo the Origin Story. Lizard could be a good bad guy, but it's not the one I really wanna see. There Pushing Gwen Stacy this time and ignoring Mary Jane near as I can tell. Not sure I like the look of the extra Angst that is above and beyond what was in the first movie, which had the perfect level of Angst for a good spider-man story. Or the look of the actor playing Parker now. But the first person web slinging was cool.
And were only getting a new spider-man movie so Sony won't lose the rights to it and have them revert back to Marvel. It was the same reason we got an X-men Movie that listed Havoc, Banshee, Darwin, Some chick form New X-men who far as I know didn't even have a code name, and Mystique as Original X-men and ignored the previous movies assertion that Professor X was walking fifteen years before X-men one by crippling him a good forty years before X-men one."I Burn!"

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Yeah, except for a movie focusing on Original X-men, it's insane that there were only TWO original X-men in it!
And they messed up a major chunk of there own Canon for the cinema versions with one, and added a totally unnecessary character element too the other."I Burn!"

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Isn't their some weird legal stipulation in the contract that if they don't produce a Spider-man movie every <x> number of years, they lose the rights to it?

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Yes there is. If Sony doesn't pump out a spider-man movie every X years, Marvel get's the rights back. Marvel WANT'S the rights back in a bad way. Sony knows a Gravy train when they see one so they don't want that to happen.
X-men and Ghost-Rider, same thing. I think Daredevil is in the same boat as well but I'm not sure about him.
And I'm in the camp that want's marvel making the marvel movies. Here's hoping this flops so bad Sony opts to give up the rights and Marvel can do there own Reboot. Maybe with Craven the Hunter for the badguy. I'm back and forth in my head on who should play Craven."I Burn!"

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
We Can Remember it for You Wholesale wasn't very long and is more of a jumping-off point for the original Total Recall than anything. The basic idea of memory-implantation-as-vacation uncovering suppressed memories of similar events is about all there is to it, really.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
My reaction to Spider-man trailer:
"Has it finally happened? Am I just not a target audience for comic book movies anymore? This movie looks really terrible."If RPG's have taught me anything, it's that all social and economic problems of the world can be solved through murder.

Re: Remakes: Spider Man and Total Recall
Looks strictly passable. Will probably watch, but I'm hardly salavating.
