i thought they were going to skip the spider biting part.
cos even ten year olds remember that, when they saw the movie less than ten years ago.
mirror's edge wasn't as fun as it looked like it was going to be.

I had a whole rant written out but basically this just looks like a very bad movie that I don't wanna see....
lifeless....almost like a spoof? especially note the spider biting part
but these new superhero deals have never really been my thing...?
maybe I just think Spider-Man is a dumb story or something like that.
or I don't wanna look at Andrew Garfield looking into space while that chick from Superbad? pines after him and
at the end of the movie when they're wrapping it up they'll get it on....a lay up for part two of this shit and credits = $
my friends call me an old man, I guess I am (that turned into a rant anyway)

finally: SOMEBODY PLEASE DEFEND THAT TRAILER!

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are better than Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. And Mirror's Edge actually was pretty fun. That's about the best I can do.

Is it bad that I don't like any of them?

Andrew Garfield's hair is distractingly large. It makes his head look like an inverted pear.

Granted, Andrew Garfield looks like a hipster llama, but he's a good actor, and he doesn't have that obnoxious voice that Maguire has. And Emma Stone is a national treasure.

Looks like the same type of corny fanboy comic book movie Hollywood has been churning out for 10 + years now. It's not even a new character. It's one we've seen a lot the last 10 years. Only difference is it has new actors.

I've been fed up of comic book/superhero movies for years now too. Dark Knight took me by surprise and I'm looking forward to DKR, but otherwise I've had enough. As much as I loved the first 2 X Men films, I wasn't expecting much from that recent reboot and was surprised at all the good word it's been getting. But no, as much as I love Emma Stone and admire Andrew Garfield, I have no desire to see this. The trailer looks like a piece of shit. The POV shots over the city streets are awful. Plus it looks like a Nickelodeon movie. I will be so glad once this Avengers movie is said and done too. Maybe the superhero movies will die off then. It's 2011 already, time to find a new genre to dominate this decade.

I feel the exact same way. Right down to being sick of every comic book movie around, but anticipating the Dark Knight Rises.

The whole Avengers thing is what's putting it over the top for me. It took a fun character (Iron Man) and made him a bit player in his own story. The new X-Men movie was a great time, and I think there's potential there for those characters, and I agree DKR should boot a bookend to that great series, but other than that I'm through. To be honest, I cringed at the X-Men First Class trailer, but that turned out to be rather good, so we'll see. I'm always happy to be proved wrong.

So are you saying you're in or you're not in? I can't tell.
