In the comics, Spider-Man’s costume is a perfect example of some of the best Silver Age costume design that there was. It’s like Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern costume, except with more cool stuff going for it and way harder to draw. It’s so iconic that, even though Peter changes costumes...
Last night, ComicBook.com talked a little bit about the deleted scenes that appear to have been cut from Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man at the last possible moment, either by director Marc Webb or by the studio, probably in service of the larger franchise. It’s clear that, even as the movie...
Our monthly session with IMDb Managing Editor Keith Simanton is actually a week late this time out–it’s nothing but a scheduling conflict, but it did allow us to speak a little more openly and candidly about The Amazing Spider-Man than we otherwise might have, given that it wouldn’t have been...
There’s a fascinating look by a fan, which is beginning to pick up traction at sites like Badass Digest, that contends that it appears there were pretty major changes made to Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man all the way up until the last month or two. The changes substantially cut down on...
While real-world police organizations are dealing with questions about their use of unmanned drones to patrol U.S. cities, OmniCorp–the corporation who run…well, lots of things…in the world of RoboCop–have some even more controversial technology they’re ready to deploy–and now there’s a site up and running to promote it. So far,...
Willem Dafoe, the John Carter and Boondock Saints star best known to comic book fans as Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, told Empire Magazine that he’s “shocked” by what appears to be similarities between the reboot (which he admits he hasn’t seen) and Raimi’s films. “I...
In spite of an undercurrent of negativity aimed at the fact that Sony have resumed the Spider-Man series so soon after the third and final Sam Raimi film five years ago, The Amazing Spider-Man has been gathering steam since its Tuesday release and is now on pace to open at...
When Peter Parker took to the Manhattan skyline again this week in The Amazing Spider-Man, after only five years off, it was clear that this was going to be a different kind of Spider-Man movie. Frankly, Marc Webb, his approach to the film and his reputation as a filmmaker is...
It’s been widely speculated that The Amazing Spider-Man was being set up as part of a series, and that might be part of the reason that there were so many plot threads left dangling in the film, so many questions left unanswered, and the like. Now, we’ve got confirmation. Yesterday,...
Following on the heels of a record-breaking Tuesday opening, Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, took in another $23.4 million on Wednesday to bring the film’s cumulative total to $59.3 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Amazing Spider-Man left us with a lot of questions, but one stands head and shoulders above the rest: who was that man in the scene that took place during the credits? A stranger enters the cell of Curt Connors by mysterious means, leaves the same way, and in the...
While it was far from a perfect movie, The Amazing Spider-Man was a lot of fun. It’s probably what the movie did best–fun–and that’s what really sets it apart from Sam Raimi’s trilogy of Spider-emo-misery. In the rustle of a major motion picture, though, there’s a ton of background noise...
By opening The Amazing Spider-Man on a Tuesday, Sony was able to grab at least one record for the film. Early opening day box office reports for The Amazing Spider-Man are coming in at $35 million, which is more than enough to set a record for highest Tuesday opening ever...
With Marvel movies most people know to stick around until after the credits for a bonus scene. However, with The Amazing Spider-Man being from Sony/Columbia Pictures rather than Marvel Studios, there was some doubt if they would follow the same tradition. Well, there is a brief after the credits scene...
Last night’s midnight screenings of The Amazing Spider-Man brought in $7.5 million for the Sony reboot, putting it roughly on pace to meet its projections of $100 million to $150 million for the Fourth of July “weekend”, according to Box Office Mojo. The film’s opening was roughly on par with...
