The Avengers reboot arrives around Christmas!

Forgot all about Ben Affleck as Daredevil, Nic Cage as Ghost Rider, or the guy from Nip/Tuck as Dr. Doom, then, have you?

At least those guys look the part. Spidey fans got stuck with this, not for one but for three films. One of the worst casting choices in film history IMO.

Well Spidey was always supposed to be kind of a geeky dork teenager, wasn't he?

I liked the first two movies. The emo phase in the third was a train wreck.

Here's why they should have done. Just continue on with the franchisee like the Bond movies do. There was no need to show the origin story again. I would guess most people don't care who plays Peter anyways.

Yes. Toby was such a bad casting that all 3 spiderman movies are numbers 3,4 and 5 of top grossing superhero movies of all time.

I really dont understand the hate for the guy. Before the avengers and dark knight, spiderman 2 was probably the best superhero movie made.

Those movies were brutally bad. I don't even remember them, that's how bad they were. Tim Burton's Batman was and may still be the best superhero movie ever made.

"Spidey" was pretty good. *Kept me watching for 2+ hours even though I knew the story. *New kid is 5000x improvement over Tobey, 3D FX are perfect for the subject matter and the IMAX screen size.

****ing ridiculous that they bothered making this. They already did a Spider Man trilogy, and most non-geeks enjoyed it fine. I liked Spiderman as a kid, but I'm not over the top knowledgeable about it. I'm just saying as a "lay person" this shit is stupid and unnecessary. It actually almost pisses me off. Hollywood has nothing new. Nothing.

Next they'll re-boot Superman again for the 600th time or some shit. Or since they have the Avengers, next they need to do the Justice League...then have a movie will all of them in it...

...it's just stupid. Blech.

And I thought Toby was perfect, as was Whats Her Name as Mary Jane. Sue me.

heres something interesting....

Toby Maguire was 26 when he first played Spidey and Andrew Garfield is 28. Both playing high schoolers.

That's the great thing about America. You have the free will to stay home and not go see a movie. Or to not click into a thread you obviously have nothing to add to except to say you hate it and think it's stupid.

I actually had a bigger problem with Emma Stone as a high-schooler. Garfield is thin and geeky enough to pull it off. Stone, while only 23, does NOT look like a 17-year-old high school girl for the most part. They should've set it in college instead of high school; not sure why they did that.

Or to click on said thread to voice my opinion regarding the asinine notion that this movie needed to be made.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!:thumb:
