Same god damn story over and over and over. It's getting really old.

So, somehow, eventually, the rights will get back to Marvel and we can all look forward to yet another reboot. In the meantime, I really don't think this trailer looks that bad.
I think Garfield and Stone are very fine actors. I'm not really chomping at the bit for this, but it certainly doesn't look bad. I'll see it. Just maybe not in theatres. And I think it has the potential to be better than Raimi's first Spider-Man film. |

Spider-man has always been my favorite comic book superhero, so I hope all movies about him are good. I was stoked when Raimi made his spider flicks. I'm a huge evil dead fan, and his first two Spider-man movies are two of my favorite comic book movies. The 3rd movie sucks out loud, so I try to pretend it didn't exsist, and wish Sam would have been given a 4th movie, but alas... We have yet another Spider origin movie.
This trailer is so-so. The tone of it seems a bit off. It overplays on the tragic parts of the story. Those elements are always there- so as long as this Spidey manages to handle it with his usual humorous quips I'll be okay. I like addition of Peter's parents- we haven't seen that part of his origin yet. New take on the web shooters is fine, & the costume is so-so. However, that POV nonsense looks like a poor video game. That part was awful- hopefully it's not in the movie. Both the cartoons and the comics have rebooted Spider-man a few times. Now movies Are following suit it didn't really bother me in those other medias so I'll try to give this one a chance. |

It looked better to me watching the trailer on the big screen, but the first person bit at the end seemed like a gimmick out of a video game trailer. I was surprised by how much they had in the trailer, though; they haven't been shooting all that long IIRC.
I'm not as vehemently against remaking it as other people. All I really care about is whether it's good or not, and a minute of it isn't enough to tell. |

Could be. I think they started shooting in early May. They can't be very far along in the overall production at this point, though, that was mainly what I was saying. They're a year away from release.

Saw the trailer today in 3-D (not sure if that makes a diff?).. But I thought the first-person view was pretty cool. Even so, am NOT ready for a reboot.

IMO, they would have been better off just starting with a new cast and storyline. What i dont like is another origin story. Boring and predictable so close to the last one. Everyone by now is very familiar with Spideys origin. Why waste another 30 to 45 minutes of your movie setting that up again?

EDIT: I guess I can give them points for attempting to flesh out Parker's parents and that whole relationship dynamic... But the more I think about it, no. No, I can't. I won't pretend to have read every Spidey comic, but I am a Spidey fiend. As far as I'm aware, Parker's parents have never been a factor, in any incarnation. |

While I understand why the studio is doing it, I don't see the public being too terribly enamored with a reboot of a franchise that was absolutely beloved until the massive turd that was Spider-Man 3... Spider-Man was the most successful opening of all time for a reason. Spider-Man 2 was one of the best comic book movies ever made; at the time, probably THE best.
This just feels unnecessary. Batman needed to be saved. Superman needs to be saved. Green Lantern is gonna need a reboot if the second one is as bad as the first. At this point, even the Hulk reboot was pointless since they fired Edward Norton for reasons unknown and cast Mark ****ing Ruffalo. I'll be fapping to Emma Stone tonight, no denying it, but this feels like it would set a dangerous precedent if it were to work, and I'm almost hoping it doesn't.
