The Mad American Wrote:I got that as well. It looks like it may take a more serious, maybe a little darker path to tell the story than Raimi's version, which at times bordered on camp even in the first movie.
I agree, the more I rewatch those movies, well 1 and 2, I see more and more campiness in them. I still like 1 quite a bit, but 2 slides a little lower with each viewing.
As for the web shooters, when I was a kid I always assumed they were organic, I mean to me that seems to be one of the natural powers you'd get if you were bitten by a radioactive spider. I was actually disappointed when discovering he invented them. I think though the reason they make it organic in movies, is because it is difficult to convey super smarts as cool. Look at the Fantastic Four movies when Doom and Mr. Fantastic are spouting science facts to each other about super-heating and super-cooling. I think most people would rather see Batman go beat the info out of some thug or use some hitech surveillance device than sit in the cave and deduce from the clues he has amassed what the crooks master plan will be.
