Hello Fellow Bloggers!
For this week's post I would like to briefly explore the concept of re-using super heros in new feature films. The very last time that the world viewed a movie featuring Spiderman was back in 2009. Already, a new feature film about Spiderman will be debuted this summer. The main question on everybody's minds is: "Is it too soon?" It has only been a mere five years since we last saw this hero. The argument, however, is that this time Spiderman will be appearing as a much darker figure than he was last represented. I have heard through word of mouth that this film is to be geared towards the same concepts applied to Batman and The Dark Knight. Unfortunately, I can't help but think that this is a major attempt by the large studios to make even more money off of this masked hero. There have been many mixed feelings surrounding the topic on if this will be a hit or bust. I am very eager to see the outcome as I am interested to see what factors and elements were considered before production began. In addition to, I would like to explore on if whether the name "Spiderman" generates attention due to it's past history. What are your thoughts?

ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea of the new film about spiderman, thats soon to come out. My nephews and nieces are huge fans, and I'm the one who takes them out to see movies in theatre. This will be fun, I enjoy the excitement my sibs have about such characters. Its a great feeling! You ask if it will be a it or a bust, I think it will be a hit, because Spiderman has established a well brand name/image, and fans since the last movies are still waiting. Either way, its coming, and I'm ready!
