Which spider-man origin film do you like better, Spider-man or The Amazing Spider-man? I think I may like TAS slightly more.

The new one had a better story though, with Lizard trying to saturate the city and all. Stacy got killed off way too quick though.

Yeah Dafoe was great as Osborn/Goblin. If only they got the costume right and had him actually plotsomething instead of just killing rivals and fighting Spider-man...

I kinda liked his armor. Wouldn't his costume from the comics look goofy?

You shouldve seen the mask they originally inteded for the movie. It looked sick. No idea why they switched it for Power Rangers costume. Just replace purple underwear with Ultimate-like coat/robe and with that mask.. it wouldve worked imo.

Pics?

-Dafoe.
-better Aunt May.

-Dafoe.
-acceptable unmaskings.
-wrestling origin.
-Dafoe.

Magic? Also.. better Spidey?

That's basically the real Green Goblin mask!

I preferred Spider-Man from 2002, and the Goblin was a better baddie, with Dafoe doing an excellent job in the role. However the costume was pretty poor, looking like a rejected suit from the Power Rangers...

"Spider-Man" felt like a diehard fan capturing as much of the essence of the character as he can, and showed the world that you can be faithful to a comic and still be a good film.
"Amazing Spider-Man" felt like a studio product made by people that like money.

really?!

The only thing the original spidy had was Dafoe and Simmons imo. Well those were stand outs but the 2nd movie was decent and Sandman was caste perfectly imo. There is a lot they didn't have in those movies that made it lack the feel of spider-man.

Like Spider-man not crying all the time.

McGuire seemed to cry enough imo lol

Yeah for 8 movies lol

haha it sure felt like it.

I like the new one much better, though its not perfect.

The old one had a cringe-worthingly bad villain, ever since I first saw the film at the cinema I couldn't believe that that power-rangers costume was the best they could do, not only was it nothing like the original character, but it looked very, very cheap IMO. Also Willem Defoe must've asked for more face time as the guy kept feeling like he needed to reveal his face all the time. Outside of that Tobey Maguire's creepy stepford wives-style Spider-Man has never sat right with me, and there was very little chemistry between PP and MJ.

The only things that jarred with me about the new one was Peter's look, it was just too pretty-boy indie-kid for me, with the quafed hair and skateboard. Other than that they could've maybe done a little more with the bad guy, it may have been an idea to cut down the origin story and spend more time fleshing out the Lizard, but I can still see why they ended up making the decisions they did.

Spider-man was a better film IMHO.

I feel the new film will probably improve with sequels, but for now, the old spider has my vote.

I hated TAS, that said the trilogy had low points

Power Ranger Norman
Harry
Eric Foreman/Topher Grace as Venom? Why?

But atleast I felt like the movies aren't only being made so Fox can keep the rights

Spider-man 2002

I like Garfield and Stone better but IMO the effects were fvcking horrendous. Original for me. But it's close.

Original for me. I liked Toby way better. I thought he portrayed Parker as he should he been. Meek.

Toby certainly portrayed the conflict between responsibilities and difficulties of being Parker better.

Garfield was a better Parker and Spidey so the hero was better, but the older trilogy had better villains. I'm going to go with TAS. Villains can always improve, but the hero you establish is here to stay.

No constest.ASM was better than all 3 of those crapfest spiderman movies.It helps as well that they had someone to play the part who can act.

Tobey Goober Mcguire was about the worst casting choice for that role.for anyone to vote for that crapfest man-spider movie,they got bad taste in movies.that monstrocity power rangers goblin costume made that movie a joke.

I hated the way tobey played parker. Parker is patient and will take some crap, but he's nobody's doormat, like tobey portrayed him. He has his dignity and in the comics he frequently told people who annoyed or crossed him to take a flying leap.
