Been over reboots for ages I mean..cmon, the new spiderman movie series seems like it was just done. Is it because they are too scared to make totally original movies as much as hedging their bet on a reboot ? I dont watch any of the comic based movies anymore anyway so it doesnt really matter to me, just seems a bit lame is all.

Or it could be that spiderman is marvel's most popular superhero (and only second to batman DC) and that there are thousands of movies worth of good spiderman content that would easily sell big with both kids and grown up alike.

Change is ok..when its not every couple of years

the Toby version was huge at the box office..and part two was even bigger in 2004 , part three was also huge in money made, outgrossing 1 and 2. With 3 only being made in 2007..a five year break and they are doing another reboot..yawn.

hulk got an even earlier reboot, and people liked the reboot,even though it didnt sell well enough cos the mainstream was still jaded by the mutant poodles (seriously WTF).

i really hated raimi versino of spider-man, but neverthless was happy to AT LEAST have an spider-man, i didnt like they trowing mj as girl next door, she was never like that,and she was never peter first, i didnt like peter being a meek wuss post powers, in the comics peter man up,in the movie peter looks like one of those guys who sterotypically live in the basement of their parents houose playing wow.
i didnt like bio webshooters, i hated the futuristic green goblin, hated the maks off sequences, hated the villains being simpathetic, they are VILLAINS you know, they do EVIL, you are not suposed to care for them, hated the peaches syndrome every #%&*$# movie.

so as loose canonicaly as this is,it is more faithfull already then the previouos version,especially since they are drawing from all universes, mainstream 616 marvel, ultimate and even one off elseworld (the costume peter uses comes from a rebooted origin called with great powers),but since everyone hated it,it became an elseworld origin,and it is his wrestling suit given to him,not made,so gives me hope he has his own made for him in 2 to look more like the one we know.

Avengers Vol 1 12.1 ...Spiderman plays WoW and is level 27


LEVEL 27 SPIDEY...

That is written by bendis, his portrayal of spider-man with the avengers is atrocious, spider-man comes as a annoying childish teenager...
i hate bendis,he did well on ultimate spider-man but he lacks the capability to tackle mainstream spider-man, dan slott on the other hands nails spider-man and peter right.

Plus peter was joking,he doesnt even own a pc and barely know how to send a e-mail, he always used betty brant for that,funny thing is he has all this problem with mundane internet and office usage,but is pretty savy wheneever a situation need fidling with a computer technology to beat a supervillain,lol,comics.....

Lol with comics indeed..too many fingers in the pie..bit like the movies

My understanding is that orginally, Sam Raimi and the same cast were slated to do a fourth Spiderman movie but there were some major creative differences between Raimi and the studio so the studio decided to get rid of everyone and start over from scratch.

And to be fair, Spiderman 3 did get quite a lot of lackluster reviews.

Comments from Maguire and Raimi certainly made it seem like the 4th film broke down in the 11th hour and they went back to stage one.

My guess is Raimi wanted more control than he had over 3, with a "look how that turned out after all your interference", and they didn't like being proven wrong.



The Jedi Master

Very few directors like Spielberg and Cameron could get away with something like that!
