Spider-Man is going to get a reboot. Noone can agree on the script. So Sony is pulling the Actors and Director and getting an all new cast. Spider-Man 4 will reboot the whole series. So consider me not following the franchise anymore. Why mess with anything that broke records and brought them lots of money? Tobey was a great Spider-Man! I can see why Hulk got a reboot....but why Spider-Man???? |

I think Hollywood may as well bite the bullet and start casting for blockbusters by an online public vote...
The problem with giving people what they want is that people are, essentially, pretty fucking stupid. |

On a serious note, depending upon one's perspective a lot of the reviews may not now really fit. |

I think Sony's doing their own spin on the Brand New Day storyline... not only has everyone in the fictional world of Spider-Man magically forgotten who's under the mask but so has the audience.  |

Unless they are going to revisit the whole Clone of Spider-Man series from the comic books. But then again.....It would be a clone of the whole city. |

I can't see the logic of "rebooting" a franchise that is still current - it's nonsense, unless they are planning to wait a long enough time for the collective idea of the Maguire/Riami films to die down. I'm not a huge fan of the series by any means, but this just sounds stupid. |

We're certainly not average, but my kids loved Spider Man 3. They loved the bad guys, they laughed at the musical bits, ate it up.
My oldest is now 12, so maybe they are a bit younger than the market they hope to tap, which I'm thinking is the 17 - 25 or so age bracket. The kids with more money than sense. |

I really loved Spider-Man 3, but I understand that most hated it. Considering that (and considering that Raimi reportedly was the victim of executive meddling during that film), this move makes perfect sense for him. Why should he take another hit to his reputation if he's not satisfied with the script?
Still, Asshole Spider-Man, not to mention Peter Parker and Harry Osborne being complete dicks to each other, never fails to amuse me. |

I actually revisited SM3 a short while back to confirm it was the horror show I remembered and, actually, it wasn't. It was pretty good. Bit too long (although I wasn't in the cinema this time) and some slightly convoluted plot lines, but much more satisfying than I recalled my first viewing to be.
It certainly wasn't bad enough to be buried and started again, not within such a short timeframe. I and II were epic. But I suppose there's a whole generation of fourteen-year-olds who haven't been targetted by the marketing monster who need to start paying their dues.
I'd like to say I won't go and see it, but I don't think I'd be able to hold myself to that.

I guess Sony see Spider-Man as a commodity above and not at all reliant on the director and star. Presumably, they think we'll all rush out to see it whoever they choose to foist upon us and with whatever shoddy script they rush through for some mad release date.
Shame. I heard Raimi really wanted to make amends for SM3 with the 4th one and the studio had agreed to give him more creative reign as on the 2nd one again. Looks like that was all a big crock- God forbid studio execs should let the director have a say in the film he makes...
On the plus side, at least Michael Bay and McG are both too tied up in their own franchises to drag this one down too  |

Given the rubbish that was Spiderman 3; good riddance. |

Assuming they take no more than 5 mins at the top of the film to recap the origin of Spider-Man, a job they did rather nicely in Incredible Hulk, and then get on with telling a new story, then fine.
But if the whole movie is a retelling of the origin, frankly, why bother? |
