Comments on: The ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Gives Up: Officially Goes 3D, Will Hit Theatres On July 3, 2012 https://staging2.theplaylist.net/spider-man-reboot-gives-up-goes-3d-20100210/ Wed, 11 Nov 2020 17:02:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Max https://staging2.theplaylist.net/spider-man-reboot-gives-up-goes-3d-20100210/#comment-16277 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:43:40 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=4688#comment-16277 I don't personally have problem with 3D, but I think the fear is that writers/directors will sacrifice the quality of the works (i.e. a compelling story) for something that people just kind of mindlessly gawk at. For instance, I can't tell you the story behind the Universal Studio's Terminator 3D Experience, because the story isn't important, its just this kind of mindless experience. I wasn't even born when that first wave of 3D movies came along in the early 80s (?), but there is a reason that fad died out.

Additionally, even if there is any affect behind the effects, I can't help but feel like I might just be distracted by the whole 3D thing. It just seems a little overwhelming.

Still, I'll give Mark Webb the benefit of the doubt, and go in with an open mind. I won't dismiss a movie just because its 3D, but, at the same time, I do recognize that its just kind of a fad.

Marc Webb better be one clever, crafty, thrifty motherfucker.

It's just a PR grab (see latest Clash of the Titans posters for a great example). All tentpoles/comic book films do not warrant 3D. Especially the ones being converted to 3D after they were already shot. If there is a specific scope and depth that the director is attempting to capture, then I'm OK with it. But 3D for the sake of 3D is ridiculous.

William Castle would be proud to see what's going on in modern film. Crappy films are passing as great due to smoke and mirrors.

What's so terrible about 3D that it warrants this overly negative report? At least it'll be a different experience to the Raimi films, and 3D swinging through the streets of NYC might look quite cool. You're just being negative for negativity's sake.
