Un...freaking... buhleavable! What a great time to be an Iron Man fan.
Man, I get that this is a forum to exchange opinions and such. I really do. And I respect you, Jedi. You're a fixture on here. But when a show like this comes along that is this well written and well produced, we should be extoling its virtues, not bemoaning that the characters are not exactly as they were written in the books, which I love btw. In this non-linear world we live in where there are heroes in diff universes, we can certainly appreciate a different take on this. It's not THAT different, in my opinion. The basic premise is that in a world of the undead, it's the living that are the most dangerous. We get to watch how humanity drains from each character in different ways and at a different pace. It just absolutely nails the very true essence of the books.
Valkyrie and Venom? The only thing they have in common is a V [ and an e ]. Seriously, I don't see that pairing working at all. Be it in Philly or off world.
This looks to be epic.
This is one of the best articles I have ever read. Just truly brilliant in its insight. Well done, Rob. If I were Nolan I would find comfort in this piece. It sdeserves a larger audience than you have here on this wonderful site.
I think this might be just a 'tad' different than THX. This looks very promising to me.
I honestly don't know how anyone could look at this film and not LOVE it. I'm not even into blood and I think it looks epic. BTW, the slow motion is not just a technique here for the sake of a technique, my understanding is that the plot has to do with a drug that slows everything down.
Nice concept. Horrible dialogue, though. Feels like a college project.
Just saw it and LOVED it. I felt that Garfield was absolutely superior to McGuire as both Parker and Spidey. His Parker is not as much of an emo victim as McGuire's, but still vulnerable. And his Spidey finally shows the personailty we all love with a few well-placed wisecracks. Also, I felt the Lizard was the most menacing villain in a Spiderman movie to date. I mean, he's a freakin' beast. The chemistry between Stone and Garfield was real and Leary was fabulous as Captain Stacey. I could go on, but will stop gushing now. In short, was not too soon for a reboot and looking forward to the sequel. Cheers.

Tim, I know Neal Adams, let me know if you would like to be introduced. He's a great guy. Love the list so far, by the way.
