News of the day: Sony Rebooting Spider-man in 2012

Gah. What is wrong with the studios? There is absolutely no need to reboot Spider-man right now. I mean, ok, if they think the current series of movies has run its course? Don't do another Spider-man movie right now. I'd much prefer no Spidey movies and some other superhero or movie altogether to ( Read more... )

i am in agreement with you. it's too soon for a fucking reboot. it's too soon to see him get bitten again. it's lie Superman we all know his origin...can't we have a movie that just has fun?

i hope that they don't do this reboot crap (safe with fantastic 4), but rather just move on. ignore the other movies if need be, but don't rehash tired plots.

that being said, Sony if you do decide on the reboots...introduce and build eddy brock, gwen stacy, norman osborn 2 or 3 movies before their plots happen. let the audience learn who they are and identify them for their eventual falls (with gwen that could be quite literal).

Totally. It's like, if someone writes a lousy run in the comics (not that I'm saying the Spider-man movies were lousy, b/c I don't think they were (well, 3 was spotty, but still) they don't go back and redo the same plotline (mostly) but just move on to a different story arc. I advocate that position for movies, too. Unless it's something like Batman, where it had been YEARS and there was a new direction and new effects technology etc. they could use.

although if they wait a few years and do a reboot, ultimate spiderman would be great...but only if they can get the daredevil characters from miramax (and skip the deadpool arch)

Oh man, I am SO not ready for a Spiderman reboot. I've only ever seen the first two, but I'm kind of already tired of the franchise, and I can't be the only person who feels that way. I like Spiderman, but I'm ready for something different.

I LOVE Spiderman, and I think Tobey Maguire did an amazing job as Peter Parker. I have no clue what comic book fans thought of him, but I loved him.

If they want to take it in a new direction, I agree with you - skip forward ten years, and have a confident, slight cock-sure Spidey.
