Spider Noir

I'm trying to select the colour version as it gives me that or B&W and yet I can't move the options over to select the one I want. Clicking play and it's straight B&W ( Amazon )

Might have to download it :rolleyes:
 
Nic cage as spiderman is either going to be incredible or absolutely tragic.

Gonna blast through it this weekend. Feels spoilt to get the whole season now when everyone seems to have swapped to weekly releases again.

That is the thing, its not spiderman really though. Its "the spider" and Cage plays a private investigator who was the spider in his younger years but retired himself from it but gets kinda dragged back into it. Very similar but its a different spin on it.

Its not quite as childish and corny as Tobey Maguire in the classic suit, Cage would literally have zero hope of playing that sort of spiderman role.

Finished it last night and I thought it was pretty good personally. Story was great, acting was good (Cage was quite reserved but a couple of moments in the later episodes allowed his zanier side out), it look glorious in b&w. I really like their spin on how he got his powers (and the other characters).

Not sure if my impression of it was elevated due to watching it coming off the abomination of s5 of the boys, but I really hope they do a second series.
 
I watched the first two / three (?) episodes last night and quite enjoyed it. Cage looked rather haggard but is he is getting on a bit. He does give some fun Cage moments… the best of which was when he dodged a blow by pulling a cheeky face :p

Supporting characters were fun.

The ‘coming up this season!!!’ trailer at the end of ep.1 makes me think ‘meh… TV show’. Still, I think it will be fair lazy-weekday viewing.

I had a similar issue with the fire stick (fire homepage) when trying to watch, had to actually go into the amazon app itself

These 'coming up this season' thing drive me nuts. I always skip them - why would I want spoilers of the show I'm currently watching!?

Currently 2 episodes down and enjoying it. My other half is bit if a tv/film nerd and thinks it's quite faithfully 'noir' too, whatever that means.
 
Finished it earlier, enjoyed it. watched in colour (my tvs a bit naff for b&w). yes there is web slinging.

I thought similar as I have seen him in one or two other things more recently and he looked beyond his years imo, but I think that it's actually intentional.

You will see some flashback episodes later on where he looks a lot more like what I expected, and is actually in pretty damn good shape for his age.

What's the general consensus: B&W or colour?

I've watched it in both for some scenes, it's very clearly designed to be viewed in black and white and while adding colour is probably helpful to appeal to a larger audience it loses a lot of depth/atmosphere.
 
Well I quite enjoyed the first episode in Black and White. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. It feels quite bold which I like it's a genre that's lost it's way a bit so some experimentation is quite welcome.

This IMO is quite a good show. The story is quite good as is the origins of how he became Spidey. I am about to start the finale episode but overall this surprised me. Watching in Colour here because I had zero knowledge of the show and jumped right in unawares - Arr!

Not really my kind of thing, I don't like Cage, and he's too old and wrong for this in addition to that, and yet I have enjoyed the first two episoides. Watched in colour and I have been entertained. Will definitely finish the series.
