Spider-Man 4 swinging into theaters May 2011

If I wanted to use your list, I'd become you, and neither of us want that. Honestly, I thought Spiderman 2 was boring for 40 minutes, mildly interesting for about 10 minutes, then WTF for the next 20 minutes, at which point I turned it off.

See, I never understood what makes people think 2 is better than 1. I liked 2, but Peter's character just took a hard turn down emo street that I wasn't a huge fan of. 1 had the excitement of becoming a superhero. That's hard to beat in my book. 1 felt like a bigger world, too, while 2 focused down on some tiny slice of life.

I loves me some Mary Jane, my backround is STILL the one David photoshopped for me of Mary Jane and me.

It looks like some heavy photoshop was involved in that page, too. I should start doing pages like that.
 
It'll be alright if by reboot they don't mean "LET'S DO ANOTHER SPUDER-Meeen ORIGIN STORY!" If that is the case, fuck that wildly.

I read it as exactly that. Rebooting from scratch. Because nobody knows he's bitten by a spider or that Uncle Ben dies. *yawn*

Personally I think it's WAY too soon for a reboot. If Sam fricking Raimi tells you it needs more time, by al means give the damned thing more time! Rushing it to meet an arbitrary date put into place by suits is insane.
 
I'm grateful to hear this news.

The Spider-Man movie franchise will die, Marvel will buy it back from Sony and make it right again. Raimi can finally work on World of Warcraft and all will be right with the world.
 
I wish the new director does a shot by shot remake of Spider-man 1. I think that would be an awesome joke.

And he'd never direct a film again.
 
We can't be sure how bad or good the reboot will be until we know who's behind it. So I'll just ignore that nagging feeling in the back of my head until then.
 
Good or not, there is no way a movie titled "Spider-Man" with Sony's backing will gross under $200m or be unsuccessful enough to ruin the franchise.
You're right, I forgot that Transformers 2 was a huge blockbuster hit. I forgot for a minute that the movie going public were massively retarded.
