Is Spiderman The Best Comic Movie Adaptation? by philfearon(m): 7:58am On Jul 07, 2014 |
I believe so anyway.....I mean,look at the ease with which every scene is relayed and its lack of continuity error...With jaw breaking scenes!! Would have been X-Men movies,but you all know the problem with the X-men crew===>Continuity errors!!!! Any bad mouth? |

Spider-Man's movie adaptations are atrocious to say the least. X-Men series, Incredible Hulk, Blade Series, and TDK are all better adaptations by a stretch. 1 Like |

Rebooting the Spider-Man series and rebranding it The Amazing Spider-Man was one of the biggest blunder I've ever seen in Hollywood. The reboot lacks continuity with the original and sucked much much more. 2 Likes |

philfearon: Hulk is a great movie ,but it is not the best...Why showing your ignorance. With the above bolded,its obvious you think the Hulk has only be on screen once. Spiderman character have been brought to the big screen 5 times. The Hulk,7 times(including hulk movies of the 80s),and its own hit Tv Series(in the 90s) starring Lou Ferrigno. And you talking about spiderman continuity ,when it has been rebooted? And you say the X-Men movies which keeps on going make too many continuity errors? Hold on do you watch(to understand) movies at all? 2 Likes |

philfearon: Like someone already said, there have been many Hulk movies probably before you were born. Go back to the archives and dig up classics like the ones of Lou Ferrigno's, watch it, then come back and give me the feedback, then we can continue this discussion from there. |

philfearon:I figured that was the only way to keep you in check. and I recall the below, Any bad mouth?well I guess I took that literally. Any ho.... Prove ur point instead!!! Now unto your very first error. philfearon:Wtf,with this I can tell you don't get comic movies. Hold on was it the X-Men-Days of future past that confused you? I mean the X-Men franchise which have been on screen 7 times(in which there wasn't any reboot,or shake?) Compared to SpiderMan trilogy Sam Raimi version,in which Tobey Maguire played spiderman 3 times,and guess what bcus of the huge critism on Spiderman 3 it was rebooted by Sony(mind you X-Men movies faced a lot of critisms,but that didn't err them,they continued on their marvelous franchise,imagine 7 straight continuity,and that ties Harry Potter). Sony stopped the Sam Raimi version,so I don't get your view on the continuity thing at all ,then Marc Webb was brought in for a reboot giving "The Amazing Spiderman" chattering the previous version continuity. . So if you go by your continuity logic,Spiderman aint Close to the X-Men franchise(so for screen adaptations Spiderman-0 X-Men-1). Now unto the Hulk thing... It aint news that the Hulk movies for the 21st century sucked balls(were failures),Eric Bana(2000 The Hulk movie),Ed Norton (2008 The Incredible Hulk). Tho the Hulk movies were great,some viewers couldn't handle it,they were scared of the character wtf,telling us The Hulk adaptation on screen wasn't that all(during this period Sam Raimi spiderman was adjusting just fine). The the Incredible Hulk(2008) came out,it was ok but the Hulk phobia was still there(one thing you understand from this two movies is that it is the same boring,hated storyline, Bruce Banner can't control his alter ego,the millitary after him,hulk causing havoc,viewers can't adjust to this,so the hulk adaptation to the screen was flopped (during this period Sam Raimi spiderman began to drop in its adaptation). Then the Hulk character was giving its last chance to adapt to the big screen and he did in a spectacular way in "The Avengers" (Thanks to Joss whedon and Mark Ruffalo performance) he wasn't the same old Hulk outta control,he was a Hero,the audience wasn't scared,why? Cus he was on their sides,while they were focusing on the aliens and were in shock wondering this creatures was unstoppable,then they recalled "We have a Monstrous creature on our own",so they were looking forward to see The Hulk(not looking away like the previous Hulk movies),and when he showcased himself viewers were lightened up. Especially with Bruce line "Am Always Angry" ,the audience fell in love with The Hulk instantly,and him saving Iron Man from falling,they were marveled,now they see him as a saviour not a monster(The Hulk adaptation on screen began). Ask anybody about The movie The Avengers,and you will observe they must always mention The Hulk role,check out the First poster on this thread . During this period as Hulk entered the Big screen of Immortality,Spiderman was starting from scratch(The amazing spiderman reboot 2012),so Spiderman adaptation on the big screen started again,while Hulk Flourished(Spiderman-1 Hulk-20 ). P.S: Am a Hulk die hard fan and a Marvelite. So now what do you have to say 1 Like |

He isn't the strongest, the fastest, the wisest, best looking, most heavily muscled or all powerful character, but I think Stan Lee's genius was in any many ways best shown when he created Spiderman. You see I haven't yet found anyone who dislikes Spidey. He may not be in every one's top ten but I sense an enormous amount of good-will for the web- slinger. Why is that? Here are some reasons why.. 1. As Pete Parker, he is the young hard up struggling man so many of us identify with. 2. He has cool powers but he isn't invincible. Punch him and he bleeds, shoot him and he goes down, his victories are hard fought through guile and effort. However, he is stronger than any normal person, faster and has those amazing webs! Every skinny teenager would love to be Spidey, kicking ten bells out of big guys! 3. He is New York's own and he isn't afraid of accepting a little help.. I love Spiderman 1 & 2, where the normal people group together to try and protect and help Spidey. Similar thing happened in the last film with the crane drivers. Other heroes, such as Superman don't have that connection because they are too powerful to need the assistance of normal everyday folk. 4. Unlike Batman he isn't permanently miserable, doesn't have a chip on his shoulder and more often than not has an upbeat outlook. 5. He is weak enough to be put in a good story with a non super powered character, but has sufficient powers and skills to give a super-powered character a run for their money. 6. Some will argue, but none of his films have yet been duffers. They were all massively successful. Sure, Spiderman 3 went a bit heavy and serious at times, but it was the first Super hero film to really delve deep into the psyche and insecurity of what it means to be a powerful hero and how this impacts those you care about. 7. His parents weren't gunned down and he did have the benefit of a loving aunt and uncle bringing him up. He is generally a well balanced individual, but he has seen tragedy with the death of his Uncle Ben. 8. You could put him with any other super hero group such as X Men, Avengers etc and he would fit in nicely and wouldn't over shadow them. The same cant always be said of the all powerful characters such as Hulk or Superman. 9. He was Marvel's first big hero, created to be a more human and down to earth equivalent of the all powerful DC heroes. Its worked! 10. Unlike some super-heroes, the actor isn't massively important in a spiderman film. Sure you need a good actor, but I don't remember many protests when Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were cast as Spidey! I'm not saying Spiderman is the most popular hero, just that in many ways he is the most loved. Both Batman and Superman have those who really don't like them, but I have yet to find anyone who says "I really don't like Spiderman". So that's it bro...Relativity!! 1 Like |

philfearon: He isn't the strongest, the fastest, the wisest,Let me assume you're referring to those you have talked to,cus in the Marvel Universe he is the most hated superhero no thanks to J.J Thompson and the daily bugle. philfearon: 2. He has cool powers but he isn't invincible.Really You would really want to have his complicated life Let me point something out,it is impossible for a bullet to hit Spidey in the comics,due to his spidey sense which makes him aware of his surroundings and which adverts him from the slightest bit of danger,Marc Webb fvked big time in "The Amazing Spiderman" in which spidey was hit by a 'Stray' Bullet(in real sense he fvcked up the character abilities) philfearon:New York own? But you know Tony Stark(IronMan), Dr Strange, are based in New York,so he is more like an attachment in the comics. He only rule some parts of New York(Queens). I love Spiderman 1 &Wtf In real sense the heroe saves/assist the people not the other way around. The crane drivers thing was totally out of point(another huge fvck up from Marc Webb),in the comics nobody likes spiderman one bit,this Amazing Spiderman version didn't exploit that at all,the Sam Raimi version did. philfearon:Are we talking about looks here? If we are then the Spiderman flahsy red costume is a huge no,Batman picked a bat costume to strike fear in his enemies and Black color for stealth(spidey red is just flashy ) so I don't get what you're saying here. philfearon:Oh really so Spiderman 3 was a hit ya? That's if you ignore the pactfull supervillains (Venom,Mini Goblin,Sandman) the way they were presented didn't make sense. philfearon:His parents weren't gunned down Last time I checked they were brutally murdered. And how was he a balanced individual? Someone who suffers from low self issues(before he became spidey),you can tell with the way he killed the robber who murdered his uncle(sam raimi version of spiderman),so you don't call that balanced. Haha,fit in nicely Tell me how he would have fit into Th Avengers, we know Hulk got the strenght,Capt America got the leadership quality,Iron Man(brains)and got the armors,Hawkeye and Black widow(Trained master assasins),now tell me what role would spiderman fit in? First Big Marvel Heroe Pls do your research well. And how his he more human and down to earth? The Marvel heroe who is more human and down to earth is def Capt America. 10. Unlike some super-heroes, the actor isn'tWtf ,Tobey Maguire who ended being the most paid superheroe actor in history, when he had a back pain before spiderman 2,the filming date was shifted so he could have time to heal(you can see the influence he has). And Tobey Maguire portrayal of Peter Packer was the definition of perfect. *sighs* ok let me tell you the history of Spiderman in theaters. In the 50s no one wanted the character because durind that period most people had the phobia of spiders,so portraying their most hated creature into a man (it seemed like a horror movie),they couldn't stand it,but soon they learnt how to cope with the character. So don't think the character was always loved.. |

Well in this case i go with superman. why? 1. They tell his story over and over again and nothing ever change. 2. He's humble, very down to earth. If i had such powers, i will send the world straight in their doom. 3. He is the best movie adaptation i've seen although not ma favorite. As for spiderman's remake, sony just wanted to tell the whole world that they still retain spiderman's right. Bloody awful movie. |

Csami: [b] The director tells Vulture he was a bit exhausted with the “tremendous amount of delegation” needed to make “gigantic” movies like the Spider-Man films. However, it ultimately came down to an inability to get together a suitable story that led him to pass on a fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise. “It really was the most amicable and undramatic of breakups: It was simply that we had a deadline and I couldn’t get the story to work on a level that I wanted it to work,” he said of his split with Sony Pictures. “I was very unhappy with Spider-Man 3 , and I wanted to make Spider-Man 4 to end on a very high note, the best Spider-Man of them all. But I couldn’t get the script together in time, due to my own failings, and I said to Sony, ‘I don’t want to make a movie that is less than great, so I think we shouldn’t make this picture. Go ahead with your reboot, which you’ve been planning anyway.’” He continued, “[Sony co-chairman] Amy Pascal said, “Thank you. Thank you for not wasting the studio’s money, and I appreciate your candor.” So we left on the best of terms, both of us trying to do the best thing for fans, the good name of Spider-Man , and Sony Studios.” Raimi still hasn’t seen Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man or Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, but he did say he has nothing but love for both projects. In fact, he had originally looked at Anne Hathaway to play Felicia Hardy, character Webb is rumored to be incorporating into The Amazing Spider- Man 2 and an actress that Nolan used in The Dark Knight Rises. “I’m not surprised [Hathaway did great in TDKR], because I loved what she was doing with the auditions for Spider-Man 4 ,” Raimi said. One movie he has seen is Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, and he “loved it.” It turns out that he has a bit of a history with Joss Whedon, who Raimi finds an “extraordinarily talented filmmaker.” “In 1994, I was making a western called The Quick and the Dead and having a script problem, and I came to the studio and said, ‘Can you find me a writer? I’ve shot this movie, and the end isn’t quite working,’” Raimi recalled. “Ultimately, the movie didn’t quite work. But they suggested Joss Whedon, who was doing Buffy , so I met Joss and he saw the movie, and he helped me solve this ending in one afternoon. I thought, ‘Damn, you’re a good writer! I wish I could have had you rewrite the whole movie and save this picture!’” He continued, “I’ll never forget how good he was, and how precise, so when I saw The Avengers, I was not surprised that his name was on it. It’s a very hard job to take all those heroes and all those stories and know exactly what bits the audience needs and what they don’t need.” [/b] Get ur facts right before speaking bro.... 1 Like |

Re: Is Spiderman The Best Comic Movie Adaptation? by Guykhena(m): 7:47pm On Jul 08, 2014 |
philfearon:*sighs* ok let me list to you his awesomeness. The madder The Hulk gets, the stronger he gets caused by an extra surge of adrenaline. This does not cause an additional gain in mass (an item which is shown only in the 2003 "HULK" movie). To date, there is no known limits to The Hulk's strength. He has been known to support a 150 billion ton mountain range during the 1st Secret Wars. MENTAL ABILITIES The Hulk has a very unusual mental ability that most other mortals don't have: He has the ability to see ghosts, spirits & such. Another ability is that he can, out of instinct, always find the area in New Mexico which was the site of the 1st Gamma Bomb explosion, which is what turned Banner into The Hulk in the 1st place. He also has shown the ability to resist mind control. DURABILITY & HEALING FACTOR The Hulk is a very durable guy. Although he isn't invunerable, he does have a high resistance to extreme heat and cold, bullets, fire, grenades, artillery shells, concussive forces & such. The Hulk does have his limits, though. He could not survive "ground zero" of a nuclear explosion. If he is injured, The Hulk has one of the greatest & fastest healing factor in the marvel universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would prove deadly or incapacitating to nearly everyone else BREATHING UNDER WATER Banner & The Hulk just recently discovered another power that The Hulk had, and that is the ability to breath under water. Over the years, The Hulk's body has developed a gland that allows him to breath fluids. This is also handy in another way, since it allows The Hulk's lungs to be filled with fluids when he is under water, thus avoiding decompression and nitrogen narcosis.. And btw there's no foe he can't match,compared to other heroes he can stand any villain. Imagine spiderman going against "The Abomination" it doesn't make sense right? There are even cases in which other heroes call the Hulk for assistance,while all other heroes have limits The HULK have non |
