The mechanism is tripped (I just made up) by a slight ankle wiggle he learned working out at the Avengers gym with the Sub-mariner.

That Namor needs to know about ankle wiggling.
You guys slamming the costume as a sole reason to think this movie will stink are almost as bad as me not seeing the Green Hornet because Seth Rogen is a hack actor. Silliness, I tells ya!

If the wrestling costume theory is true then I can just imagine the guys making the movie are enjoying watching us fanboys freak out since that would mean we haven't seen the "final" version of the costume yet.
I'll enjoy the movie regardless though I think. I mean, it's Spider-Man after all. And if I can sit through Jonah Hex, I can sit through anything these guys can throw at me.

Oh wow...I think Ghost Rider was better than Jonah Hex.

I loved Ghost Rider, too. About the only Marvel movie I didn't much care for was the Dolph Lundgren PUNISHER. No skull? WTF!

Yes I think someone out there is having a bit of a chuckle over the fanboy press being generated.
I've been loving the converation and mean that in the best sense! :thumbsup
Think about the other angle.
Just imagine how much the producers are freaking out when the first photos of your brand new spider-man movie are spreading like wild fire and all anyone can talk about is leg stripes and how ugly they look!

Didn't he have some daggers that had little skulls on the pommels?
But yeah, I know what you mean.I kinda felt like that whole origin story that they told in the opening credits of Jonah Hex should have been the plot of the movie as it was the only part I found interesting. I liked Josh Brolin in the movie though... I could stand never seeing John Malkovich in anything ever again though. Ditto that for Nic Cage, Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley. They're just overexposed IMHO.

If it IS the final suit, yeah, I imagine the negative feedback will have some investors worried... whether it's a little or a lot I've got no idea.
If it's NOT the final suit, they might still be a bit worried depending on what the final suit DOES look like (and possibly even revising it if there's time to do that.)
I say give Dolph's Punisher another chance. Despite the "no chest skull" problem it's got some really kick ass 80's style action sequences and doens't have the postmodern Punisher syndrome the other two Punisher flicks have. It's just a hard core revenge/vigilante movie.
Dolph is actually pretty cool in the role too.
Also- Scuba Ninjas!

I'm sure I'd like it now; I haven't seen it since it was first on HBO in the late 80s.

I never did understand how he stick to the wall with those shoes. The hands/gloves I can understand, especially with the 2099 version of Spidey that Raimi used.

Yeah, it didn't bother me so much with the Raimi version because the shoes were visually very thin-soled but if he wears sneakers (which is what I think of when I see those silver things on his feet), his little spider-stickum-hooks would just mean his shoes would never fall off. Granted the stunt guy has to have something to run around in though

The whole how Spiderman clings to walls thing is a bit laughable if you think about it too hard. It was interesting in the first Raimi movie that they showed the little spider-hook thingies coming out of his finger tips and that for a while it was rather involuntary, like with the banner on the bus, or the incident in the cafeteria. I guess if Stan Lee had thought about this more the day he was dreaming Spiderman up, Gecko-Man might have been born instead...
If the little spider hook thingies do punch out of Parker's fingers through the gloves and soles of his feet, then the spandex surface would seem to get pretty shredded over the time. How they'd punch through this rubber suit even harder to believe if one thinks about it too hard.
I suppose the mechanical web-shooters might be because someone read that thing written by some uber-geeks around the time criticizing the organic shooters because they started calculating how much fluid and matter would be in the spider-webs shown and then closely trying to guesstimate how long each web was and how many blocks Spidey could swing through NYC before the amount of webbing exceeded the total fluid and matter in a person of Toby McGuire's body size and mass. I can't remember were I saw that or the details anymore, but it was amusing.
As for the organic web shooters in the Raimi movies, poor Pete could never, ever wear a short sleeve shirt again without someone going "OMG, what happened to your wrists Pete?!?" Versus the mechanicals were Pete must have one hell of a factory hidden in Aunt May's basement cooking stuff to make these incredibly pressurized cartridges of magic web fluid. Just the other day on PBS Nova there was a bit about how the closest way science can come to making spider-silk today is genetically modified goats who secrete the proteins in their milk!
I can only imagine that lady that played Aunt May in the Raimi movies going, "Pee-teeer! Why are their goats in the basement?"
I think I'm going to miss that actress more than anything else about the Raimi movies. She was sweet and funny.
Anyway, as I remember from high-school study hall debates more than 30 years ago, superheroes don't bear thinking too hard about.

Yeah, with Spiderman 2099, he used the claws as weapons.
