Spider-Man Opening Title Sequence

[DarthRaukrist]

J. Jonah Jameson disliked this. nobody else would.

[Xalien2002]

Who liked the 70s - 80s spidey?

[DarthRaukrist]

@Xalien2002 I like Spidey. 60's cartoon? epic. 90's cartoon? epic. 2000's movies? still epic.

I cant tell if Spidey makes the music more epic, or if the music makes Spidey more epic. I love the other comic movies too, but I could possibly see myself growing out of them. even Dark Knight. but Spider-Man? Spider-Man is the only one I would be could outlive Mickey Mouse, Pikachu or Superman. He's perfect

[kitchen867]

this and the first tim burton batman are my favorite comic book movies

[KayWildcat]

@kitchen867 The Dark Knight?

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

Well for me it's Batman Begins.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement Yea, well I though The Dark Knight improved on every aspect of Batman Begins. It not only had the ultimate superhero/action appeal, but it was an incredible and engaging drama aswell.

It truly was brilliant and stands to be one of the best sequels and the very few that are better than the orginals.

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

It's certainly a very good film and a great political thriller for the Zeitgeist. But my opinion has always been that Chris Nolan's most emotionally engrossing works - Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins - are the ones where he gets right under the skin of just one character, and spends the whole duration of the film dissecting their psychological journey.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement "...spends the whole duration of the film dissecting their psychological journey" - He does this with every film he makes. The Dark Knight and Inception are more layered though. Batman Begins was great, but The Dark Knight had a greater amount of emotional value. Each character was developed to a large extent even when a lot of them aren't on screen for much

Insomnia was great as well, but weaker to Nolan's other films. I found The Prestige better. Memento is a masterpiece.

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

I suppose Nolan's films break down into two types. There's the 'One Man, One Journey' ones I prefer forming his earlier filmography. Then there's the later 'Pieces on a Chessboard' kind. I felt TDK rose a fair bit above those trappings, because the chessboard was the War on Terror and the pieces were its avatars that really hit close to him. The Prestige was his first indulgent puzzlebox film (I still like it), and Inception, despite the hype, was for me Prestige with Explosions.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement I would agree with everything except for what you said about Inception. Inception was absolutly brilliant. I do think it is one of his best films (I would definately rank it above Insomnia, Batman Begins, and The Prestige). I wouldn't quite say it is better than Memento, but it is still one of his best. The work put into the script was clearly visible and the overall result Nolan presented was mind-blowing.

However, I do think that Hans Zimmer's score wasn't that good.

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

I was able to get a few people to rank six Batman films from the two franchises. I'm curious how you think Nolan's works stack up then given that we both agree the man hasn't made a bad film (sadly I comment on Following - I haven't seen it).

My own ranking :

6. Inception (7/10)

5. The Prestige (7/10)

4. Insomnia (8/10)

3. The Dark Knight (8/10)

2. Memento (8/10)

1. Batman Begins (9/10)

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement Really? I actually have and it is actually really good. Yet, Nolan has grown from that movie, so from his current standards that movie would be one his weaker works. With its small budget, it also contributes to the fact that Nolan is an amazing filmmaker and he has yet to make a bad film.

My ranking :

6. Insomnia (7/10)

5. The Prestige (7/10)

4. Batman Begins (8/10)

3. The Dark Knight (9/10)

2. Inception (9/10)

1. Memento (9/10)

My first 2 rankings could change

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

Cheers for the recommendation.

Yeah, this is difficult for me to organise as well. Even now I have trouble looking at Insomnia rated that far down my list.

Incidentally, I am saddened by the outcome of the Superman project. Doesn't Nolan have a hand in supervising or producing it? If so, I find it a shame that they've went with Zack Snyder and it's hard to try and reconcile the visions of those filmmakers given the cerebral difference between the two.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement Yea, I completley agree. I actually am not a big fan of Zack Snyder. I actually though 300 wasn't a good movie. He isn't terrible, but I don't think he is the one who for the project.

However, I'm atleast sure that the movie will have a more realistic approach to the character (hopefully) and I'm petty sure Nolan will keep that factor no matter what.

I am also not a big fan of Superman as the character had no weakness which makes it a little less interesting.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement What would you say is your top favourite movies of all time? Maybe even the past decade?

This might be a hard question though...I know many people have asked me this and I always fail to give a proper answer.

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

(1/2)

I never feel qualified to answer these 'favourite films' questions having not seen enough movies in general. And I'm severely malnourished with my diet of foreign language films but I loved Oldboy, Pan's Labyrinth and Let the Right One In.

I guess Paul Greengrass has transitioned from documentary to mainstream, to become my favourite filmmaker this decade - Bloody Sunday, Bourne, United 93 - all amazing films. Supremacy and 93 have to rank amongst my favourite 2000s films.

[TheConciseStatement]

@KayWildcat

(2/2)

Funnily enough, it was right at the end of the last decade in 1999, that sticks in my head as an unmatched time for film :

Fight Club, American Beauty, The Matrix, Toy Story 2, Election, Being John Malkovich, The Insider (I only saw it recently to be fair but it's among Mann's very best), East is East (a lovely little movie from FilmFour), and I have a soft spot for South Park : Bigger, Longer and Uncut, which remains a deliciously good satire and inverted Disney film.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement I would say 1993 an 1997 was also great years for films.

[KayWildcat]

@TheConciseStatement Really? I also love watching foreign films and I loved Oldboy and Pan's Labyrinth (I haven't seen Let the Right One In). I would rank Pan's Labyrinth among one of my favourite (if not my favourite) foregin film ever. It would also be one of my favourite films of the past deacde.

Now, Paul Greengrass is great, but I don't think he is as poweful as other filmmakers of this generation. I love his work, but I wouldn't say he is my favouite.

[FreeeeS]

crawly feeling :P

[MJfan4life18]

goes real fast at 1:13

[jera3]

Spider-Man 1, great! Two, well... it's a continuer... 3, a joke.

[LiquerLollypop]

my favorite opening title

[TheMichaelCheneyShow]

The theme to spiderman is awesome! The animation definitely was thoughtfully created well.

[KRG11988]

that is the best part of the movie, excellent effects and theme by an eminent composer, but when the film starts...

[TheConciseStatement]

For me, this one does the job, with Spider-Man 2 being really quite good indeed.

I saved all my complaints for Spider-Man 3, which I felt was a monumentally overbloated mess, in terms of narrative threads, conflicting tones, and oddly dull action. The title sequence really was the best thing in that film.

[KRG11988]

this one was some times ok, sm3 is a joke. I think the film was made by shareholders. cheap love scenes. always more effects, more colors, more characters. what about narration or characters'personality...

I don't know what to expect for sm4: sm+xmen+hulk+batman vs carnage+mysterio+predator+godz­illa?

[TheGuyThatsAwesome]

You must be talking about Spider-Man 3, the first two are incredible.

[TheConciseStatement]

We both were. There is a marked step down in quality from S1 (6/10) and S2 (7/10 - clearly the best one) and then S3 (probably about 3/10).

[AlienX99999]

@KRG11988 Yes It Adds A Dark And Light Theme To My New Film Coming Soon From Columbia Pictures, Regency, And Marvel Studios

Alien X

Blood Omen

[horokeusama]

I was 11 at that time ( now im 18) man it was awesome watching a movie of spider-man in theatre

[TheConciseStatement]

It's unbelieveable that 2002 was so long ago.

[horokeusama]

yeah ... *nostalgy*

[TheConciseStatement]

*nostalgia*

[nevermind1534]

Doesn't seem like it's been that long

[TheConciseStatement]

Well you'll probably remember the controversies surrounding the film - too violent for PG/"My kids can't get into 12 rated movies" was one; the poster with the World Trade Centre in Spider-Man's eyes was another.

[lllDaoralll]
