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.

Agreed.....heck even Spider Man 3 was enormously popular and successful in a pure dollars sense.

They're also trying to change the dynamic of spider-man himself, apparently, making him more snarky in costume, to match the books.
