The great thing about the Batman franchise is that the films are in some sense oscar bait + blockbuster which is great if you just like great action scenes, but Nolans films and the Batman films go beyond that and offer more depth. Spiderman I also love but for different reasons, the films are just fun to watch.Glynnister wrote:I think for me spiderman has a completely different feel to batman from the ground up. The concept of a young guy being bitten by radioactive spiders, wearing a bright colorful suit, being the public hero and swinging around a constantly sunny new York is something that despite being in the same genre I feel is a whole other animal and something that doesn't appeal to me atall.
The original trilogy was good, people like spiderman, I'm yet to meet anyone who loves it like people seem to lovethe dark knight or batman begins and I think that says it all.
Spiderman will do well and make slot of money, people will day the film is good and it'll do well.
The difference lies in the fact that Batman will blow people's minds, it will be an epic, it will be something that I think will have the Avatar effect of people speaking about it all the time. From it's very beginnings as a franchise and for it's wider appeal I think that batman, and in particular the style that Nolan has adopted means spiderman won't scratch the surface.
If this is dark spidey, what would happen when the symbiotes gets attached to him?fisher_king wrote:In that same respect, why would I expect a "dark" Spiderman movie? It just doesn't fit.
My thoughts exactly. We may not even be able to see the moviePratham wrote:If this is dark spidey, what would happen when the symbiotes gets attached to him?fisher_king wrote:In that same respect, why would I expect a "dark" Spiderman movie? It just doesn't fit.

Trust me, I want The Amazing Spiderman to be good. I think Andrew Garfield is an excellent actor, and the cast is brilliant. But that doesn't make a movie memorable. First and foremost, you need to capture the spirit of the character and the world he lives in...not tarnish it with dark lighting and the dude from The Social Network.
My two cents

No seriously, I think it may lead to an interesting competition, but obviously I'm more looking forward to see TDKR. Because it will be beyond awesome !
I think Garfield has the capacity to take the role as impressively as Bale in Batman Begins, but I do agree that the rest of the cast doesn't stack up to Nolan's series. I think Nolan went for actors that truly fit the role...Webb is going for actors and actresses that simple reach different audiences (Sheen, Stone, and Garfield all inhabit different aspects of pop culture). Great talent, but I do agree that they are not as impressive as Batman's.pixiedivision wrote:Removed most of the comment because it's really long lol.fisher_king wrote:I don't think there's going to be that much competition at all.

I agree Garfield is a great actor and they've rounded up so far a good cast. But tdkr undoubtedly still have the edge over spidey haha. Sally Field and Martin Sheen are great but they're no Gary Oldman, Michael Caine or Morgan Freeman. Also Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone are no Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy or even Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Oh wait I take that back, I do think Garfield has that potential and in some of his other roles has shown it as well. I just got caught up/worked up in the comment lol. But I meant in general if you compare Garfield and Christian Bale there is no competition. Don't get me wrong..Garfield is a GREAT actor but compared to how easily Bale can slip into different types of roles..Bale is on a completely different calibre. As is most of the tdkr cast.fisher_king wrote:I think Garfield has the capacity to take the role as impressively as Bale in Batman Begins, but I do agree that the rest of the cast doesn't stack up to Nolan's series.
