Although not haviong seen the film (it not out here yet) I must say two things:

1) It hasn't got Harrison Ford, sorry but he IS Jack Ryan

2) The book is probably better (but then again don't they always say that). Plus I could be wrong, discuss.

That might be true. My friend atleast said so. In the book, the terrorists are Muslim Extremists, however after 9-11 they chaged it to another faction... Oh well. Still an ok movie. Except for one thing that bugs me... They totally ripped off the musical soundtrack from Crimson Tide! I mean when I heard the main theme I was like "Hey, I know this tune!" So I started humming it before the ques to prove my point... But my friends just stared at me... Anyway, apart from stealing of a music it was ok. Having not seen any of the trailers either, I was quite suprised when that nuke did go off. I was expecting the usual cliché COUNTDOWN TO 3-1 seconds and cutting the RED wire or something. But to have it go BOOM was a great suprise.

:D:D from me.

if thats the case, then it was hans zimmer that did the music and he borrows from himself  for most of the EXCELLENT scores he does, ie Crimson Tide, the Rock, Face Off, Armageddon, The Peacemaker (his best IMO) among others.  I'd tell you to get them off of audio galaxy, but......

In the book, didn't Musilm extremists crash a nuclear bomb laden airliner into congress, killing the President.  And Jack Ryan was by then the Vice President.

Yeah I know who did the the music for Crimson Tide, although he didn't do the music for Armageddon nor Face Off. I think that was Mark Mancina, who did the music for Bad Boys. But what suprised me was the guy credited in "Sum" was Jerry Goldsmith! Another good composer, but it still wasn't his own music. But its true, Zimmer does borrow ques from his earlier work sometimes, but usually he makes new ones. One of his best soundtracks has to be Gladiator I think. I also got them all on CD. What can I say, I a total film music freak!

Whoops, it was Trevor Rabin who did most of armageddon, zimmer did a few tracks, but they're both with Media Ventures (why do I know that?)  And zimmer took Gustav Holtz's the Planets, Mars specifically, and turned that into gladiator

SPIDERGUY is a Poopy film. The people who made this realized this, so they hyped it majorly. That means you all automaticaly think its good (beacause you think everyone else does) which is a vicious circle, in which everybody wins. Just for the wrong reasons....

There was a film called Spawn with a plot about as original as spider mans, and just as crapy. Fortunatly it wasnt hyped, and therefore didnt survive for long at the cinema.

Also the main guy in "AracnidBoy" had this annoying straight top lip. With no lip. So did the bird in it. If I have to spare at a subtly moving top lip gain ill shoot myself. Again.

Spider Geek has three horrible flaws.
1. Two main characters with no upper lips.
2. A bady who is defeated in part by my New Yorkers hurling cans and metal bars (they just happened to have) at him.
3. As much plot as a lawn.

I hate it when loads of money is wasted on crapy plots and scripts and many great films never recive the aclaim they deserve.

I liked spawn, there were some good elements in it.

Spider-Mans' plot was supposed to be like that, the entire design was that they wanted a film of the comic.

I'd also very much like you to learn some better adjectives other than "poopy" plus refer to the characters by their proper names.

The film represents literally thousands of man-hours of work and deserves a little respect.

[Star-Epock]

Thats the joke though.

Have you ever read a Spiderman comic? It isnt like that, this spider man has a different character in my opinion. And thats whats most important if its for us comic people.

This film has suffered from the "Hey, wouldent it be cool if" factor experienced by many US budgeted films. Its not a film built around a story. Its  lots of "Cool Bits" grafted together.

Sometimes I wonder if there decent directors (some things are well done) with an evil little demon sitting on one shoulder, saying "hey [add dicector name] why not have him shoot lasers from his eyes?" Director "But this character dosent have laser eyes!" Demon "So what, weve got another few million to spend, and itd look so cool!!"

I cant think of an exaple off hand, but it happens , sadly.

Those thousands of man hours could have been better spent.

I admit I did laugh at ":yes:  GO WEB GO!   Though

Debt of Honor...  and it was a disgruntled JAL pilot who lost his entire family to the short lived war with the US. It isnt the last one... Exectutive Orders after that, then Rainbow Six, then The Bear and the Dragon... I have em all...

Me thinks they will not be making this into a film anytime soon. Oh an the airliner has no nuk on board. Fuel (and a what 17th? century) stone brick building don't go well togther.
