It’s been awhile since I posted about the Spider-Man Reboot. Looking back I see I had a lot of anger for what went on in the comic at the time.I mean for someone that has great power and responsibility to become irresponsible and make a deal with a villain or devil like character is not the spider-man I remember.That being said looking back I was closed minded to the Spider-Man reboot.Now after so much time has passed it is safe to say that I can’t wait for it.Once a Spidey Fan always a Spidey fan.There have been Amazing stories coming from the comics despite that horrible deal with Mephisto.Andrew Garfield will be brilliant.I am a big Doctor Who fan and loved him in it.Emma will make a great Gwen Stacy! Finally We get to see the Lizard! They are even working on the script for Amazing Spider-man 2. I like what I’ve seen so far in the trailer.2012 Should be a great summer.

@”Sorry Methos, I disagree- this is exactly like Batman and Robin”

Batman and Robin- Tanked, killed the comic book movie genre, turned Batman gay, worst comic book film EVER, and imploded the Burton/Schumacher Batman films(not that they were any good to begin with).

Spider-man 3- Box-office success, there were still comic book films made right after this one, the series still could have been salvaged, and I can think of far worse comic book films than this one. To name a few- Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Elektra, and Steel.

People just exaggerate how bad SM3 was. Bad movie yes, but not as horrible as Batman and Robin, nowhere near.

I prefer the plausibility that his superpowers were all granted by the radioactive super spider instead of having to deal with the unlikelihood that a teenager in high school could invent mechanical webshooters that he has to wear.

I know its suspension of disbelief that allows for Spidey to exist in a film anyways. I get that. But its the dumbest thing ever that Peter Parker could already have been a superhero with his mad gadget inventing skills, and only ever made ONE THING.

“There’s no excuse, not even from Raimi. Anyone who looked at those scenes and decided they were fit to be in the final cut doesn’t even deserve to pass film school.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Masterpiece? You’re kidding right? There are so many things wrong with the original such as the miscasting of Dunst and Tobey, Organic webshooters (WORST IDEA EVER thanks to Cameron), a humourless Spider-man, and a idiotic villian that flew right out a Power Rangers episode.

I could not agree MORE! Dunst is the perfect example of horrible miscasting!

Sam Raimi,… I respect you.

But by that reasoning he shouldnt be adapting Battle Angel either then, since it is “beneath him” to do a film based on existing content.

according to an article from the Hollywood Insider, the studio is “interested in a more gritty, contemporary redo of the series.”

Grittier Spidey movie? BAH!

Also a major theme in the first 3 Spider-man movies, and especially in the first one, was what it means to become a man. Moving out, finding a job, and responsibility obviously. For them to say Spider-man is going back to high-school, you can already tell how they are planning to make this Spider-man different.

I just don’t care to see a teenage superhero movie, or a action movie for that matter. I don’t think I am the only one.

I was watching the history channel the other day and told the story or Perseus and he was a teenager. They could have went that way for the new Clash of the Titans movie (maybe even the old one which I never saw, so can’t say they didn’t) but would many people be interested in seeing that?

Maybe the teenage action hero thing works for teenagers but its a hard sell to adults (Harry Potter is more fantasy than action).
