mmmmmm
Nice poster. Love the shadows, but the “untold” line rings hollow. Yeah, it’s technically true, but the Raimi movies were untold tales before we saw ’em.
Seems like a copy of what Stars Episode I did with Anakin and the shadow of Darth Vadar…
From a commercial perspective, sticking “untold” in there is a wise move. And it is untold. So fair play.
Yeah, I would think the “untold” tag would be to justify why they are going back to the origin well 10 years after the start of a VERY successful franchise. It’s a mixed bag for me. I do find it annoying, but on the other hand, it reminds me of Untold Tales of Spider-Man, a title I loved. I think it’s a cool teaser image, tho.
Hmm, looks like they’re trying to make this the ‘batman begins’ for Spidey, starting it from when he was a kid, and not just puny Parker in high school.
Or maybe market research is showing people think this is a cheap remix of the 1st Raimi movie so they’ve slapped ‘untold’ on the poster.
It’s the untold story because they’re actually addressing Peter’s parents where as in the Rami films I don’t think they were even mentioned. Along with web shooters, Gwen Stacy as Peter’s girlfriend, and the Lizard, yes, this is an untold story of Spider-Man in cinema. I agree that they probably shouldn’t have used that line, but it’s kind of true.
Insulting, dishonest and a bit crap (shadows are so unrealistic that it just looks weird).
Pretty good to me.

This looks pretty good if you ask me
What Don said.
I don’t like “The Untold Story”, that’s just untrue. Otherwise, it’s interesting.
