    Haven't seen it. Won't see it.

    Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man meets The Covenant is not Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

    To be fair, the original PR show was not exactly some immaculate piece of art which should never be tampered with lol. Changing some things could very well be a good thing with this particular property.

    Trailer looks good IMO. I'm looking forward to it.

    That's fine. I genuinely have no interest in seeing it. It takes a lot for me to make it out to theaters. It took me three weeks to see Logan, a movie I have been waiting for since it was announced.
    I think the trailer looks like trash, so I won't see it.

    I just feel like I have seen that movie before. Kids stumble upon something random that gives them powers. They wake up one day with powers and have to learn how to harness them(in almost the same exact way Raimi's Spider-Man depicted it). Baddie tries to take over the world and the kids use their newly harnessed powers to defeat it. Roll credits.

    Yeah I hear ya. I don't make it to the theater often either. If I didn't have a few buddies who invited me I'd have waited for video myself.

    Can't you pretty much say the exact same thing about most superhero/action movies though? I mean, sure there's the rare film, like Logan, that transcends genre conventions. But for the most part you just described every superhero movie ever. 1. Get powers (or already have them if a sequel), 2. Villain wants to destroy protagonist and/or the world, 3. Protagonist defeats villain. 4. Credits.

    Yes. That's why I don't see comic movies anymore. I'm just tired of the genre.

    Why does every suit have to look like some variation of Iron Man now?

    I just watched the Justice League trailer. Same **** Zach Snyder has been making for the last six years.

    Fair enough. It is certainly a very specific, repetitive formula. But it's the same formula 99% of action/adventure movies follow. Rarely is there not a villain hell bent on destroying the world (or a country/city/group of people/etc.). And rarely does the hero not save the day in the end.

    I will admit I don't get nearly as excited about most superhero movies as I used to. It is basically the same thing every time. For me though (and I imagine for most people), the big draw is simply seeing these characters you love on the big screen.

    Snyder has never really blown me away with anything he's ever done. I dug Watchmen and his Dawn of the Dead was a solid remake. Everything else has been just okay, at best. I never really got all the hype for 300 myself. Visually striking, but not much else.

    Zach Snyder is to visuals as Michael Bay is to explosions and action.

    They are both similar when it comes to the story/writing... Snyder might be slightly better.
