How many of you have seen the trailer for SM?(Spider-Man) It looks really cool! If you havn't seen the trailer yet i've provided a link. you need quicktime to watch tho.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/spider-man_2/ Enjoy!

I know quite a few people that aren't excited about this. Me personally, I just want to stick a few blasting caps in their undies ^_^

The original movie was one of the few comic-to-film translations that I was entirely happy with. The changes worked, you know? Like in the comic, it wouldn't hold these days that Parker was a chemical genius that inherited the web formula from his late father. Of course, that was make in the rather farfetched older days so it stuck then. Sorry, got a little off there....

Anyway, I've heard that Raimi didn't want to make this a "super sequel" to the original, but rather a smaller story with more character development. This is good, as that's why I always liked Spidey comics... ^_^

The movie looks good so far. Why aren't people excited about it?

I will definitely go see it when it comes out. Is it just me, or are there a lot of good movies coming out this year?

The first Spiderman movie rocked. Hopeful the second will further the story. Regardless, I'm seeing it . . . die hard fan and all.

I've heard that the second movie will have a brief cameo by Venom and that both he and Carnage will be in the third movie. I hope that will be the case cause that would be awsome. What is your opinions on this?

I'd really be disappointed if there were a Venom cameo in the second one.... that is, unless it were not Venom, but instead Eddie Brock. Also, if Spidey, in order to defeat Doc Ock, donned the black symbiote costume it'd set it up perfectly. Afterwards, they could start the third movie with Parker rejecting the symbiote, who finds Brock, and of course becomes Venom. He then could infect Cletus Kassidy, who becomes Carnage.

But back to the first point, I'd hate it if Venom were in the second one without explaining about the symbiote first. [spoiler]Part of the whole thing about Venom that made him dangerous was that Venom not only knew who Spidey really was, he knew Parker personally and knew everything about him from the memories that the symbiote absorbed. He knew Mary Jane, he knew Aunt May, and he knew how to nullify EVERY one of Spidey's abilities.[/spoiler] Spidey vs Venom was always awesome...

yes spidey vs venom was always alsome which is why I look forward to the third movie.

Um Toby is hot!

Besides that yes I'm excited. My mom is probably more pumped than me. It was the only comic she liked as a kid.

Go Spidey!

While the good doctor will be interesting, I must say that I am far more interested in seeing Venom and Carnage.

This looks to be a possibly very good sequel. If the information about more character development is correct, I'll be pleased on that account as well. I'm sure there will be numerous cool scenes as well, of course.

What I thought was interesting is that they never said the name of the movie, unless the name is honestly "2." That is pretty stylish, though a movie named 2 would also be somewhat original. I mean, everyone expected Spiderman 2, and I was waiting for the name the entire preview... and it never appeared. I liked this.

I never said that Venom and Carnage were going to be in the movies. I said that I had heard that they could be in there. This was not meant to seem as if I had information that none of you would have that talked about the symbiotes in 2 and 3. I will research it, but I wouldn't hang on to your hopes. Even though I myself hope they will be.

Sorry about the double post... and the hat...

Well a quick search and I found out that there is a rumor that there will be a moon incident in the third movie. This one will be about an astronaut becoming Man-Wolf (Could someone elaborate on who this is? I don't even remember such a character). Could Venom not be far behind?

I've heard the same from a semi-reputable source, so when people in this thread were assuming the same, I figured it was as safe a bet as one can make about a movie that far in the future. Personally I would much rather have symbiotes than astronauts.

well any ways I can't wait for any of the movies.

I expect Spider-Man 2 to be much better than the first.

My only qualm about having Doc Ock is that he looks kind of...um...unreal in the trailer. Still, maybe my view will change as I watch the film. For instance, as the first film progressed I found myself liking the suit of the Green Goblin.

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to this film. I think that Peter will finally tell Mary Jane that he's Spiderman by the end of this movie. Not that she doesn't already suspect, but...

"And he's wearing that old power rangers mask, and he's trying to kill everyone"

hehehe... Weird al...

I have to say... Willem Dafoe is about the ugliest man in showbusiness. Now, maybe I'm a guy so I have little say in this area, but he just is... And he's creepy no matter what role he plays...

As for Doc ock, It would be nice for this battle to transition into more recent spidey events.

I actually thought Doc Ock looked pretty good, though I haven't properly seen his back. Due to the suit, I thought that the Green Goblin looked pretty unrealistic, actually. I didn't really complain, though.

Also, I'm hoping for some more cool spider sense things, such as in the first movie where it focuses in on many things in slow motion. And where he dodges the punch. His expression of surprise as he watches it ooze by is great... and that's what Spiderman is really all about: an ordinary kid trying to understand supernatural power.

I was more of the thinking that Spiderman was really about "Great power comes with great responsibility" Anyhow, about the Man-wolf, I've never heard of him, but I did read a spidey comic in the sunday papers in California back when Spidey was still in the sunday comic section about a werewolf character. Maybe that's Man-wolf...

they really had spidey comics in the sunday paper! Man I had no idea!

"With great power comes great responsibility" is a good theme, but not the underlying one of the comic. Then again, that's just in my opinion, and the entire issue is somewhat irrelevant. It's sad when people rip each other up over literary interpretation of such negligable issues.

Man-Wolf...
Sounds more like a Batman villian actually. Man-Bat, anyone?

But there are a ton of Spiderman villians and I'm sure Man-Wolf is probably one of them.

I don't know a

Has anyone seen the new two and a half minute Spiderman 2 trailer yet? I just saw it and it was pretty good.

i cannot wait for sm2 to come out! i saw the new trailer for it when i went to see the punisher friday night and it freakin rocked! spidey was always my favorite comic book and cartoon. i used to think peter parker was kind of hot. but y'all didn't need to know that. anyways i cant wait for it to come out.

At first I was like, "meh" but I saw the extended trailer today and it looks really awesome. I guess it answers a lot of my "comic book" questions--really addresses the whole superheroes with real lives thing. I remember wondering as a kid, well when does Batman ever sleep? And does Superman get lonely cause he can't date Lois? Etc.

And of course, the part in the trailer where...
[spoiler] Harry pulls off the mask [/spoiler] looked great too

I agree with you about the superhero issues. Spiderman comics have always been good with addressing that kind of thing.

Regarding your spoiler text however,

[spoiler="title here"] I think that Peter tricks Doc Ock into bringing a dummy to Harry, so that when he pulls off the mask, he finds nothing. The other possibility is that it IS Peter inside of the suit when they capture him, but if I recall correctly there was an incident in the comics (which the movies adhere reasonably close to) where Peter was unmasked by Doc Ock during a fight in front of lots of people, but Peter had a cold that day and had lost all of his spider powers, and thus Doc Ock didn't think he was fighting the real Spiderman. Thus he and everyone assumed that Peter was posing as Spiderman and thus had put on the costume in order to gain some popularity.

I agree that someone finds out about Peter's secret this movie, but I think it's going to be Mary Jane, not Harry.[/spoiler]

In the older preview we have a hint that might be so. Mary Jane asks to kiss him, and I think she wanted to see if he was the same as the time she kissed Spiderman. I'm inclined to agree with you there, but it's also possible that more than one person finds out Peter's secret.

True, but I think it'd be a bad idea to have more than one person find out Peter's secret in any one movie.
