I didn’t find it so at all. I mean, I noticed it, and appreciated it, but it wasn’t overwhelming.
That’s really interesting, and I’m curious whether others had the same reaction. It seems that a lot of folks disliked the stylistic choice in 2D; perhaps it works a lot better in 3D somehow.
Again, I don’t mind that they tried it out, because it means they were taking creative risks; this one just didn’t work for me. If it works in 3D, I’d love to understand why.
My daughter hates 3D, so we rarely see anything in 3D.
I wondered in real-time, while watching the film, if it wouldn’t be better in 3D.
It was good in 2D, though.
We hate 3D too. One problem with 3D is the picture is inherently darker. Next time you’re watching, take off your glasses and see how bright it suddenly looks. That’s how bright it is in 2D.
So over the last few weeks I’ve actually gone back to see the movie two more times (and my husband saw it a total of 4 times, he’s nutso). What I noticed in the subsequent viewings is that the offset printing effect was done in the “out of focus” parts of the scenes. In other words, if you think in terms of camera focus, one part (usually the foreground) is in focus while the rest is slightly out of focus. They tended to make the slightly out of focus parts in the offset print effect. That’s somewhat subtle and I didn’t catch it the first time. Upon a re-watch I appreciated it more.
In addition to everything else about the gorgeousness of the movie, I really appreciated the pearlescent reflection in Spiderman’s white eye area, especially when they did close ups to show us what he was looking at via reflection.
Can someone give me a short summary of why Green Goblin was a giant monster?
The same reason Otto Octavius was Olivia Octavius.
That was theUltimate Green Goblin.
I saw this movie today, and the one thing I was confused about was just that; why wouldn’t a kid who lives in NYC just commute to the school?
At the beginning when Miles was “packing” that suitcase and saying something to his parents about seeing them on Friday, I assumed he was going on a school trip out of town.
If I followed it correctly, Miles’ school is some sort of magnet school that you have to apply to get into, and living on campus is part of the deal. In terms of the plot, maybe this makes it easier for him to spend time with his uncle ?
Perhaps. But kids from all over NYC attend Stuyvesant High School, Bronx High School of Science or any of the other real-world magnet schools in New York. And none, as far as I’m aware, are residential schools.
I Googled “boarding schools New York,” and found a list that included at least two pre-college boarding schools located within NYC. So, it’s a thing that actually exists.
I’m not aware of boarding schools that actually require boarding but it’s a fairly minor point (and an alternate universe).
Why doesn’t Miles recognize Gwen when he first meets her after acquiring the powers? Every other time he meets a spiderman they can tell they are alike.
And why does Gwen say her name is Gowanda when they first meet
She started to say “Gwen” realized she she should hide her identity and changed it mid word to “Wanda”.
Why was she trying to hide her identity? What would have been the harm in his knowing her real name?
Secret identities are a Spider-Person thing.
What if Clark Kent had that attitude? Or Bruce Wayne?
We can only hope you don’t get bitten by a gamma-ray-infused marsh-wiggle. You just don’t take super-heroing seriously enough.
Wasn’t Miles being an enormous dork at that point? I got the impression maybe she didn’t want him knowing anything about her, the better to avoid Mr. Superdork in the future.
He was but she had specifically enrolled in that school to meet him and follow him around. She was also trying to go back to her dimension and did not expect to be there in the future.
