My initial thought of this particular Spidey suit was that it was a hybrid of The Ben Reilly Spiderman and the "House of M" Spiderman with a wee bit of the Alex Ross design mixed in there, to me it just looked odd. It almost looks as if they've tried to make it look like a suit you'd see those slapnuts riding around on crotch rockets wearing, with a slight lean towards a "plating" look. The webs are wrong on the suit, but at least they've gone back to the webshooters, I hated that whole organic web thing. Really, if the webs were organic, why didn't they come out his arse? Genetic mutation IS NOT going to manipulate the body so that webs will come out the wrist.. that's just asinine.

I have little to say about the plot of the film, since all we've gotten so far is who has been cast and previews of the suit, but I'm hoping.. if anything...they do it right this time. Raimi's films ALL twisted continuity way out of proportion. I'd like to see that NOT happen with this new film.

So let's think about the new players in the game. Tobey's gone... never liked him as Parker anyway, sure he embraced the whole dorkiness and awkwardness of a brainy kid turned Spiderman, but he embraced it just a little too much... and Dunst is gone, who in my opinion was not perfect for MJ, but damn she was hot... and of course I have to thank them for not recruiting Megan Fox into ANY roles on this film.

I'm hoping for a kickass redux here, even if I don't like the costume.
And with Disney's involvement, I'm hoping there won't be any "breaking out in song" or Elton John music.
