#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Spiderman 3 is not a great film, it also is not a terrible film. It's very mediocre.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 first review of the movie in. THERE IS NOTHING AMAZING, about the Amazing Spiderman, my main problem is why???.Oh sure the effects are better, they had to be.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 How can there be a review if the film isn't finished?
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 you dont have to see the movie to know joey is right with 99.9% of confidence.
crocodile 9,724 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Well... for starters word "amazing" is absolutely amazing.Karol
Richard P 5,302 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Spiderman 3 is not a great film, it also is not a terrible film. It's very mediocre.Yep. We enjoyed it, but also LOLd at some moments where we really shouldn't be laughing.Pity, because I tell you, when the Marvel logo came on and the main title played, it was frigging awesome (how many main title cues have clearly been composed to match a studio/company logo?). Just all went downhill from there.
Wojo 2,458 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 THERE IS NOTHING AMAZING, about the Amazing Spiderman, my main problem is why???."The Sick and Tired Spider-Man" just doesn't have that marketable ring."The Amazing Spider-Man" is the first and longest-lasting comic book series that detailed the adventures of Spider-Man.It was also the name of a 70s TV series and movie (the series' pilot).Using that title to begin the new franchise will distance itself from Tobey Maguire's first film, which will only be ten years old when it comes out.
Jay 46,242 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Looks like James Horner will be scoring The Amazing Spider-manMusic editor Jim Henrikson has revealed in a recent interview with SCOREcast Online that James Horner is in talks to score the upcoming comic book adaptation reboot of The Amazing Spider-Man. While the assignment has not been confirmed to us yet, Henrikson who has been Horner’s primary music editor over the last two decades said that the assignment “is pretty well set” at the time of the interview (which was conducted right before the recording sessions of the historical epic Cristiada in May).http://filmmusicreporter.com/2011/09/20/james-horner-in-talks-to-score-the-amazing-spider-man/http://www.scorecastonline.com/2011/09/scorecast-session-music-editing-avatar.html
Rachael Foley 10,162 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Could actually turn out to be a semiinteresting score....
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 If he can steer clear of that RC and uninspired stuff from "Avatar", I could welcome this.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Of course -- there's no shortage of people who think any composer, no matter how talented, untalented, or overused, that isn't a bad choice for any film.About the only thing we could probably get a majority vote on is Gustavo Santaolalla* NOT being a good choice.* = He'd win an Emmy for it, though. Hell, why not?
gkgyver 1,647 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 James Horner most likely will do the score:http://filmmusicreporter.com/2011/09/20/james-horner-in-talks-to-score-the-amazing-spider-man/
Matt C 605 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Bravo Marc Webb, for getting someone talented to score a big-budget tentpole. I was really worried we'd get a RC/MV composer on there to ape Zimmer's Batman scores.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I was never worried -- I just assumed he'd go with his only go-to composer: Mychael Danna. Doesn't mean I would have liked it, but I was never worried about Zimmer or Ramin or Bates. Horner ... odd being out of the blue like that.This is, of course, assuming Danna didn't do demos that weren't liked.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Mychael Danna was never involved, I guarantee it. Even if Marc Webb wanted to use him again, I doubt Marvel would approve. The man's never done an action score.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 He also got to do "Hulk". But why are we judging on those mertis?What action score had Elfman done before "Batman"? Or anything remoately approaching what the film needed?And then of course the list grows bigger with composers and superhero films, who never did superhero films before.Every composers can get the shot, it just has to be offered. And not every superhero films requires an action score.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Tim Burton had to fight to let Elfman do Batman. The studio wanted Williams.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah, I know. But then again, back then, what studio didn't want Williams for what "big" film?And look what we got from the red-headed stepchild of film scoring. If only other composers got those chances, instead of dashing off to the RC Cookie Cutter Composer Factory and hiring a Zimmer clone.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 You're comparing today to 20 years ago and acting like things haven't changed.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Things have changed, for the worse.Elfman was frowned upon, because of his pop background, and his lack of proper musical education. He was thought of as a "hummer".Now all these Zimmer-copies are hummers. They hum there themes into a microphone and let the orchestrators work on it.
Jilal 681 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Ofcourse not.The orchestrators do all the work.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 yes, but now they are all credited for it!I mean we know Shirley Walker did everything on Batman, but there should at least be the illusion that a single composer is responsible for HIS work...
Richard P 5,302 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Good choice. The trailer looked like it was ready for a Zimmer clone to unleash his electronic rambling.I wonder if hiring Danna for his first film gave him the confidence to reject the studio's inevitable ideas.Plus, we'll get a full CD release with 15 minute tracks. Take that Tintin!
tharpdevenport 4 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 You're comparing today to 20 years ago and acting like things haven't changed.Is or is not Williams still in demand, and Elfman still the read-headed stepchild of film scoring?
Jay 46,242 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Poster I saw at the movie theater last night
Jay 46,242 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Seems like they are trying to make the audience think its some kind of untold story from the same universe as the first 3 films rather than a reboot
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Or that the story simply hasn't been told. This villain has yet to appear in any film form. Parker is after Gwen Stacey and not Mary Jane, etc.
Jay 46,242 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 No, the bad guy in the film is Dr. Curt Connors, who was played by Dylan Baker in both Spider-man 2 and Spider-man 3. (He just never turned into The Lizard in the original trilogy)
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 It's the untold story f box office profit.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 No, the bad guy in the film is Dr. Curt Connors, who was played by Dylan Baker in both Spider-man 2 and Spider-man 3. (He just never turned into The Lizard in the original trilogy)Ah, my bad.
gkgyver 1,647 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Seems like they are trying to make the audience think its some kind of untold story from the same universe as the first 3 films rather than a rebootThe first three were pretty far away from the comic books, so yes, it will be an untold story.And no nasty melodrama this time please.
Quintus 6,494 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Judging by the bizarre shadow, one can only assume the chap has a massive case of piles.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Just watched the trailer. Actually looked OK.Liked the fact that the geeky Parker actually looks rather cool (Geeks are indeed the new jocks these days).The film will probably be better then the first Spider-Man film, which was awfully melodramatic and suffered from Willem Dafoe hamming is up.

Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 ah ok.We already know how the lizard theme is going to be, right?
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 so is that Danna guy?that's why i asked, i didnt find any conclusive on the net...
tharpdevenport 4 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 His editor, Jim Henrickson, did an interview last year saying, basically, it was pretty much a go for Horner to score it. There has been no refuting it or ther composers listed. As long as his editor's name is still on the IMDB credits for that film (under "Music Dept."), then it should still be a go.
