Thoughts?

[B00sh]

I'm kinda sad about this, the 3rd could be called a failure but the first two were great. I'm gunna miss the cast.

[Guern1ca]

Yeah, only a matter of time before this thread was made, hah. Read it on Variety. Got'em.

[demondays524]

I'm kind of bummed about this. I loved the cast of the first 3 movies, it won't be the same without them.

[fake empire]

This sucks. I'm sure Raimi could've gone out with a great fourth movie if the studio would have fucked off. Oh well, they better get a good director.

[TJ Wells]

I am not remotely surprised, and I could not care less.

[TJ Wells]

I hope Raimi does more stuff in the vein of Drag Me to Hell.

[MADSTA]

Good to see they ended on a high note....

[fake empire]

I hope Raimi does more stuff in the vein of Drag Me to Hell.
Me too, but I think he's probably gonna do World of Warcraft next I guess.

[SlappedActor]

If that's true, he can cast Kirsten Dunst as the orc queen.

[fake empire]

And do we really need to see the Spider-Man origin again so soon? Fuck that. Maybe they'll kinda just skip over it like they did with Incredible Hulk.

[irthesteve]

well 3 was absolutely horrid so it's probably best they aren't continuing

[poppa Q]

Yea!, let's reboot a series that is three months old. Fucking stupid.

[fake empire]

I love the scene in 3 when James Franco and Kirsten Dunst dance to The Twist

[batmannj]

Rest in hell, female Vulture

[Kozzy333]

Probably going to go for a darker, grittier story, sort of like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

[Carpathia]

BRING BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS ON BOARD.

x

'Nuff said.

[Carpathia]

No more Kirsten Dunst and specially NO MORE ORGANIC WEB SHOOTERS.

Just hire Brian Michael Bendis and follow Ultimate Spider-Man's script.

[fake empire]

So who do you guys want them to cast?

How about Joseph Gorden Levitt as Peter and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Mary Jane?

[murrich]

No incentive to see this anymore.

[anamericangod]

I fucking loved Kirsten Dunst.

[fake empire]

Probably going to go for a darker, grittier story, sort of like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Seems unnecessary with Spider-Man, unless it's story with Venom or someone like that.

[Carpathia]

Spider-Man is going back to high school as Sony said, so we need a kid and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is too old for the part. We need a kid, but not Anton Yelchin.

It seems they're going ultimate on us, so who could play a 15 years old Spider-Man?

[Dunn.Nope]

World of Warcraft better be awesome if this has to die.

[Gaugzilla]

And do we really need to see the Spider-Man origin again so soon? Fuck that. Maybe they'll kinda just skip over it like they did with Incredible Hulk.

Yea!, let's reboot a series that is three months old. Fucking stupid.

Amen to both of these. There's no reason to reboot a series that doesn't need it. It wasn't like a "Batman" or "Incredible Hulk" situation where the original didn't necessarily capture the tone of the comics. The first two did it very well. We don't need to know how Peter Parker became Spider-Man since the first covered it. This is ridiculous.

Probably going to go for a darker, grittier story, sort of like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

The thing is Spider-Man isn't a dark story. Peter Parker wasn't some haunted character, he was a frickin kid.

[Carpathia]

Hopefully this new rebooted SPIDER-MAN movie franchise will contain the following 4 things.

1. mechanical webshooters

2. Spidey constantly cracking lots of jokes while he is fighting the bad guys.

3. Spidey keeping his mask on and not getting it torn off or taken off when he's fighting the bad guys.

4. Uncle Ben's killer living.

Hopefully this rebooted movie franchise will NOT include the following 3 things.

1. Spidey unmasking every 5 minutes.

2. Sandman being Uncle Ben's killer.

3. organic webshooters

[jusscali]

holy shit lol that's incredible

[jwicklun]

I feel as if a reboot isn't needed. They can the franchise right now, knowingly they have already made 2 great movies.

[jwicklun]

Probably going to go for a darker, grittier story, sort of like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Peter Parker isn't as much a tortured soul like Bruce Wayne. During his fights, it's typical of him to insult and joke as the fight rages on. And they already explored a darker Spiderman, in "Spiderman: Reign" which was pretty disturbing.

[flyball]

if they did this i think they should make it at least lead into a reboot of the venom saga. although they could only do it in one movie, having a dark knight type with venom as the villain would be epic. and imagine if they left off with like a carnage hint at the end:thumbup::thumbup:

[HogarthHughes]

I hope Raimi does more stuff in the vein of Drag Me to Hell.

This.

[Dunn.Nope]

speaking of Venom, is that scrapped too?

[jwicklun]

I do not think they should do an orgin story with this reboot. Start with Peter Parker already being Spiderman, not beginning the movie with Uncle Ben's death.

[open mind]

way to early to reboot...at least kirsten dunst is out.

[Max_123]

hopefully when the re-boot they also re-evaluate where they want to take the next movie because #3 was a disgrace

[jwicklun]

as badass as carnage is, there isn't a lot to him as a character. He just likes to kill, he is not a genius nor is he conflicting. Venom was great villain to go with, but the studio messed up his character. Venom hated Spiderman alone, and thought of himself as the defender of the innocent.

[drudo182]

This is crazy. I really liked Tobey Maguire but yeah, the third one blew pretty bad.

Could go either way. Hope we get a new villain. I want Mysterio.

[Max_123]

speaking of Venom, is that scrapped too?
Well i'm not sure, last I heard was that they wanted someone else to play Venom because they weren't sure if Topher Grace could carry that franchise..

[StrictlyBiznas]

Good, this gives them a chance to do Venom the right way. However I did like Tobey McGuire as Peter Parker.

[WakingTheMisery]

Everyone needs to cut the shit. Venom sucks. Reboot needs different villains.

[drudo182]

I hope they get an unknown to play Peter. I can't think of any young actor I could see playing him at the moment.

Ideas?

[drudo182]

Everyone needs to cut the shit. Venom sucks. Reboot needs different villains.

I agree. I don't want to see any form of Venom again honestly.

[flyball]

venom sucks?? venom is a beast...if done right. this time he needs to be bigger. at least the Rock size.

[StrictlyBiznas]

Everyone needs to cut the shit. Venom sucks. Reboot needs different villains.

Venom does not suck. Venom is Spider Man's Joker.

[Unique Dragon]

was lookin forward to an epic spidey 4 oh well. spidey reboot is dumb its not like the franchise was a huge failure like the original incredible hulk or 80's batman movies.

[jwicklun]

I'm hoping for a villain such as the Lizard or Morbius. Or maybe a less popular villain Morlun, a villain that has nearly killed Spiderman twice.

[anthonydarko]

Something tells me this won't turn out so good. Fingers crossed that Joel Schumacher doesn't get anywhere near this.

[StrictlyBiznas]

I'm hoping for a villain such as the Lizard or Morbius. Or maybe a less popular villain Morlun, a villain that has nearly killed Spiderman twice.

Lizard would have been great in Spider Man 4 as Dr. Connors was in all 3 of the other movies and Peter game him the symbiote in 3.

[jwicklun]

Venom does not suck. Venom is Spider Man's Joker.
Green Goblin is Spiderman's joker. The dude has killed Peter Parker's girlfriend, his baby, as well as corrupted his best friend. Sure, no one hates Spiderman as much as Venom, but no one has fucked up his life as much as the Green Goblin.

[anthonydarko]

was lookin forward to an epic spidey 4 oh well. spidey reboot is dumb its not like the franchise was a huge failure like the original incredible hulk or 80's batman movies.
The first two Batman's were great flicks, it was the kid friendly Schumacher sequels that ruined the series to the point where they had to reboot it.

[WakingTheMisery]

Venom does not suck. Venom is Spider Man's Joker.

lol na

[anthonydarko]

Green Goblin is Spiderman's joker. The dude has killed Peter Parker's girlfriend, his baby, as well as corrupted his best friend. Sure, no one hates Spiderman as much as Venom, but no one has fucked up his life as much as the Green Goblin.
I fully back this. Venom wins for sheer hatred for sure but no way was he more evil then the Green Goblin.

[Unique Dragon]

The first two Batman's were great flicks, it was the kid friendly Schumacher sequels that ruined the series to the point where they had to reboot it.

thats actually true, my mistake. the horrible failure of batman forever and the one with robin makes me forget how much i liked the first one. and i ment 90's**

[StrictlyBiznas]

Even if he isn't, Venom is pretty close to being like the Joker in Batman. In a sense that he is one of Spiderman's main enemies.

[Dunn.Nope]

I am not mad that the whole Vulture/Vultress will never happen. what the hell were they thinking with that?

[StrictlyBiznas]

I am not mad that the whole Vulture/Vultress will never happen. what the hell were they thinking with that?

"How can we make this movie worse than the previous instalment?"

[jwicklun]

I fully back this. Venom wins for sheer hatred for sure but no way was he more evil then the Green Goblin.
Plus Eddie Brock comes off as sympathetic. He is a good guy, he just hates Spiderman with a passion. He ends having his own comic book series, protecting the people of San Francisco (my city which is badass), but in the end the suit abandons him, leaving him with cancer. Normon Osborn on the other hand, is bastard, pure and simple.

[<*)))><]

Wow Im drunk then I thought I think Im posting in a thread about spiderman 4.

[OurLadyCoolbean]

Yea!, let's reboot a series that is three months old. Fucking stupid.
haha yeah my thoughts exactly. i can't see this making much money either. Sony is freaking retarded

[JordanBuell]

so happy about this. didnt like the direction that it was taking in the third one and it, in my opinion, is better for them to quit while they are ahead.

a reboot this soon though seems like over kill.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Interesting.

[jwicklun]

"How can we make this movie worse than the previous instalment?"
Put nipples on the spiderman suit?

[anthonydarko]

Apparently John Malkovich was supposed to play The Vulture according to this (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/malkovich-swoops-into-spider-man-as-villainous-vulture_1128238).

[jwicklun]

http://www.geekforcefive.com/images/uploads/mythos_07_11.png
Is anyone listening? Has any villain ripped out the eye of Spiderman? Morlun is the only answer for the next villain.

[WakingTheMisery]

Even if he isn't, Venom is pretty close to being like the Joker in Batman. In a sense that he is one of Spiderman's main enemies.

I'd say more like the Bane of Spider-Man. A character introduced decades after the hero's inception who "would look cool in a movie".

[Genuma]

3 was awful, but i loved the second one.

[Genuma]

Apparently John Malkovich was supposed to play The Vulture according to this (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/malkovich-swoops-into-spider-man-as-villainous-vulture_1128238).
i like john malkovich but that just sounds like a bad fit.

[anthonydarko]

i like john malkovich but that just sounds like a bad fit.
I kinda agree with that, but I think he could of done a good job with the character given how good of an actor he is.

[WakingTheMisery]

How is he a bad fit at all?

[jwicklun]

i like john malkovich but that just sounds like a bad fit.
The problem with the Vulture is that of all the Spiderman villains, he was the least threatning. I'm sure with a good script they could make him more complex like what they did with Dr. Octopus, but I lost all that hope when they mentioned the "Vultress."

[Genuma]

How is he a bad fit at all?
i don't know, i just can't see him as a spider-man villain.

[OurLadyCoolbean]

I hope they get an unknown to play Peter. I can't think of any young actor I could see playing him at the moment.

Ideas?
As much as i like the idea of getting an unknown, i can only see it turning out to be some crappy Nickelodian movie.
theres just no good way to go with a reboot this soon

[drudo182]

Why wouldn't a reboot work?

[WhoSaidThat?]

Put nipples on the spiderman suit?
And give him a Spidey credit card.

[dru]

interesting. i loved tobey and kirsten as pete and jane. wonder where this will go.

[drudo182]

Good Thru: Forever

[atticusfinch]

Rejoice!

If James Cameron did a Spider-Man film it would be epic.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

If James Cameron did a Spider-Man film it would be epic.

Didn't he write a script for Spider-Man in the mid-90s?

[Carpathia]

Didn't he write a script for Spider-Man in the mid-90s?

He did. But hoping for Jim to direct a new Spider-Man franchise is wishful thinking. And honestly, having read his vision of Spider-Man (Cameron's script leaked years ago), Spider and Jim are better off on separated ways.

I'd love someone like Gore Verbinski directing the reboot. No idea who actually will though.

[FBTMOPenguins]

I wanted to see redemption for 3's failings, guess not.

[MovieManCorey]

I read the James Vanderbilt script for the reboot. It's wonderful.

[Carpathia]

Could you pm it to me?

[WarpSpeedChewy]

The Green Goblin is.

Actually, Morlun would be kinda of cool to see.

Why wouldn't a reboot work?
Because it's way too soon for an already successful franchise. Plus, another high-school Peter Parker story ? I could get my head around a reboot if they did it like The Incredible Hulk, but they way the studio described it is stupid. I'm angry this is happening just because I was looking forward to seeing Peter Parker progress further in the series.

Rejoice!

If James Cameron did a Spider-Man film it would be epic.
If Cameron did it, my interest might come back.

[TinMan20]

I belive its considerably too soon for a Spiderman 'Reboot'. Make the series an afterthought before they take on a whole new take on the charector. We are inudated with new series all the time, we wont be able to tell which franchise we are watching ten years from now. (honestly, whos gonna tell me who played each Hulk in ten years? My guess they both will be forgotten...and look back saying, "Why did we need two Hulks in that time span?) Spiderman has been done, and in my opinion done well, sans the SM3. Is a new take on the Spiderman franchise really needed right now?

I was looking forward to Spidey 4, with John Malcovich as the Vulture. I think Im the only one who wasnt completly opposed to the Vulture. The Lizard would have been what we are all looking for, but the Vulture was a legit way to take the series.

We all agree the third was garbage, but that doesnt mean we need to get used to a new Spiderman, Mary Jane etc. Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst were pretty good in the first place. Toby made Peter more of a wuss then needed, and Kirsten played a good Mary Jane, but now we are all gonna complain about the new castings, director, villians....shoulda just gave Spiderman 4 a whirl, and if it was more trash, then re-boot in another ten years.

SOOO, lets all wait on a new Spiderman franchise. Do a lessar known Marvel charector since comic movies are all the rage. I for one would like to see the Black Panther come to to big screen. To my limited knowledge, there has only been one black super hero brought to the screen, that being Blade, and thats more vamire then hero. I always liked Darkhawk as well....but thats never gonna happen.

[drudo182]

The Green Goblin is.


Actually, Morlun would be kinda of cool to see.

If Cameron did it, my interest might come back.

Yeah I understand that. I think it's a bit premature but I also think it could be pretty cool.

[Shatter_Glass]

The films got progressively worse, but I was looking forward to seeing John Malkovich as Vulture in four.

a reboot huh?

I got your peter and mary-jane right here Sony....

http://tonicgossip.com/wp-content/ashlee-simpson-pete-wentz-pda-2.jpg

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Yeah I understand that. I think it's a bit premature but I also think it could be pretty cool.
Hey, I would love to see this work. But the odds are against it and there was no reason for it to happen. Plus, that's assuming the right people get attached. What if we get Zac Efron as Peter Parker ? Maybe we'll get The Clone Saga in high school.

[tonighttonight0]

Venom does not suck. Venom is Spider Man's Joker.
Venom is Spider-Man's Bane

Looking forward to a less campy film, I hope. I know AICN was suggesting Neill Blomkamp as a director. I could see it working well if he was given creative control.

[TinMan20]

If Cameron did it, my interest might come back.

Agreed. Bout the only way I miiiiight be a little bit stoked on it. kinda doubt it though. http://sffmedia.com/films/science-fiction-films/449-cameron-planning-avatar-trilogy.html. I read Avatar is a trilogy, so my guess is that Cameron will be busy doing that. However, after he is finished with the Avatar affair, it will probably be time to see a new take on Spiderman.

[Jamos4184]

I'm actually kind of glad about this. I think a reboot is a great idea. I'm hoping for something a little less cheesey. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the first 2, but I haven't seen Spider-Man 3 since I wasted 2 hours of my life watching it in the theater. As bad as it was, I will say it was awkwardly funny when Peter Parker went all emo and was pelvic-thrusting his way through Manhattan. It was also worth seeing Toby Maguire's awful fake crying, too.

[coryatlarge]

I'm hoping for a villain such as the Lizard or Morbius. Or maybe a less popular villain Morlun, a villain that has nearly killed Spiderman twice.
my only complaint about this is the twilight fans getting obsessed with him and maybe even a blade cameo? yeah i like the character but i hope that they stay clear of the vampire craze going on right now.

[Carpathia]

The villains should be Kingpin and Electro. Like the Ultimate Spider-Man series.

[dissident]

this is fantastic news. the first 3 were fucking awful. any move that gets kirsten dunst's hideous goblin face away is a good one.

[Miss Heartcore]

I got your peter and mary-jane right here Sony....

lololol


Though I didn't like any of the movies out of Raimi's Spiderman Trilogy, I agree that it's way too early for a re-boot. But, I guess this timing would make sense if they plan on adding Spiderman to the Avengers movie.

[mht]

I hope Raimi does more stuff in the vein of Drag Me to Hell.


yea he did that stuff 20+ fucking years ago you simpleton

[TJ Wells]

yea he did that stuff 20+ fucking years ago you simpleton
I'm aware. I wish he did it more.

[mht]

its all he did for a whole fucking decade, don't you watch any Bruce Campbell spoken words?

[TJ Wells]

its all he did for a whole fucking decade, don't you watch any Bruce Campbell spoken words?
Shockingly no.

[Protested Hero]

I loved Drag Me To Hell, but Raimi almost played it a bit too safe. He has certainly gotten a hell of a lot better at story-telling (well, having a coherent story at least), but he needed to be way more over the top ala the goat scene.

Also, this is great news for the franchise. Spidey 1 and 2 were great, but the third ruined my favorite character, Venom.

[owiseone35]

What about Shocker as a Villian he is pretty bad ass. At least better than Electro. And I agree they shouldn't re-boot it but what other choices do they have without Toby Maguir, and the main crew.

[dissident]

its all he did for a whole fucking decade, don't you watch any Bruce Campbell spoken words?

and look at the shitty movies he's making now instead. stop being so awkwardly hostile, the guy has a point. he needs to stick to campy horror because campy superhero flicks clearly are not his strength.

[jwicklun]

my only complaint about this is the twilight fans getting obsessed with him and maybe even a blade cameo? yeah i like the character but i hope that they stay clear of the vampire craze going on right now.
the vampire craze will probably end by 2012. Morbius would've been great, and Sam Raime even liked the villain.

[anthonydarko]

this is fantastic news. the first 3 were fucking awful. any move that gets kirsten dunst's hideous goblin face away is a good one.
The first two movies are widely regarded as some of the best superhero movies ever made. And before you go on some tangent about how I'm wrong, just look at the past two decades and look at just how many shitty superhero movies were made and then compare the quality of the them to the first two, it speaks for itself.

i'm well aware of how popular the first two were. i still thought they were garbage. the first one survived on more of a "wow" factor in the theatre, but once you watch it even just a second time at home it becomes obvious how bad it is. just atrocious dialogue and performances. the second one was a little better, but still had a lot of the same flaws as the first one. the third one is so bad it's hysterical.

[Prestonxsmith]

Fixed

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I don't really mind seeing a new cast. They could tie this new universe into the other cross over films they've already started if they chose to now. Not that they couldn't have done that before, but it might have been more jarring if they did it with Tobey because I doubt he would stay forever. Now they might have a chance to do it with a new kid if they choose to and if the new franchise works. It'll be weird to see the origin story happen all over again, but if it's a good movie I won't mind. I was never a big Kirsten Dunst fan, and I'd be down for Mary Elizabeth Winstead if they had gone for an older Peter instead of high school Peter, but alas. I do feel bad for Dylan Baker though. Poor guy was waiting in the wings for three movies and now he'll never get his chance to shine.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

And do we really need to see the Spider-Man origin again so soon? Fuck that. Maybe they'll kinda just skip over it like they did with Incredible Hulk.

good gosh THIS

[Shatter_Glass]

lololol

I'll be the person to agree with pretty much everything you just said.

[dissident]

Fixed

i'll pre-face this with saying i don't know for sure how the relationship between raimi and sony for the first two flicks were, but i can't imagine they were jerking raimi around from the very beginning. if they really were controlling during the first film, i'd think he wouldn't have signed up for and done two more films. i think the third one's failure is what has played a big part in this whole fiasco. after making a successful first film, i assume sony let raimi do what he wanted for the second one, and then when that was even more successful raimi was able to have free reign again for part 3. when that proved to be a disaster they're making a choice to step in.

What were you expecting, an Oscar-caliber film or two?

[dissident]

no, i was expecting well made action flicks. they are not. don't try to pin that fucking elitist high brow tag on me because i think the spiderman movies suck.

I like the way you talk. Out of curiosity, which is your favorite out of the superhero movies? (DC comics included)

[dissident]

in general i'm not a big comic book/superhero type of guy, but i love movies so i'll watch anything regardless. if i had to choose one, it would be Unbreakable just for taking a down to earth and low key approach to the whole thing. i like all the batman's besides schumaker's (or however the fuck you spell his name), watchmen was cool, iron man was really well done, and despite a couple really awkward parts i thought Daredevil was very entertaining.

[mht]

and look at the shitty movies he's making now instead. stop being so awkwardly hostile, the guy has a point. he needs to stick to campy horror because campy superhero flicks clearly are not his strength.


and what shitty movies are they besides the 3 Spider Man films you seem to have a stick up your ass about?

Fuck yeah. Have you ever seen the director's cut of Daredevil?

[mht]

Unbreakable? Like the Bruce Willis/Sam Jackson piece of shit? Daredevil? Fucking Daredevil? With Colin fucking Farrell and that awful performance by Ben Affleck? And your going to make fun of the Spider Man movies? get fucked

[runningohfive]

It's too early to make a reboot in 2012....at least in my opinion.

[Drew Beringer]

Can't be any worse than the first three, which were awful. slightly enjoyable, but still awful. I still can't believe Spider-Man 3 was a real movie.

[dissident]

aww isn't your feigned outrage precious you knuckle dragging little fuck.. i never said daredevil was good. i said it was entertaining. i can completely understand why it's hated, but i enjoyed it despite its flaws. unbreakable is fucking awesome though and if you think you're coming across like a hardass with better taste because you don't like it, well you're not. you're only making yourself look like an even bigger jackass.

[dissident]

the gift.

I do enjoy the first two Spider-Man movies. But calling Unbreakable crap is non sense.

[dissident]

and you're the one defending three of the biggest, corniest, steaming piles of shit to come out only to lose his shit over a movie that is as harmless as they come. and i'm not "name dropping" anything. she asked for my fucking opinion and i gave it to her. i know how bad daredevil is. i recognize its shittiness. i get entertainment out of it anyway. now move along and go act like a tough guy somewhere else where people might actually give a damn about your post count or history around here because i don't give a fuck who you are, you're a fucking loser.

[WakingTheMisery]

you're the one that came in here shitting on the spiderman films only to name drop two of the biggest piece of shit films to come out in recent years.

I liked Unbreakable more than any of these comic book movies kids be jocking.

[mht]

unbreakable is fucking horrible. you people are high

[dissident]

no you're just fucking terrible.

[mht]

ill take these cheesy Spider Man movies over a cliche and cock sucking piece of shit M Night film any day. And the dude is from my state yet.

[WakingTheMisery]

unbreakable is fucking horrible. you people are high

It's no Fifth Sense, but whatever. People hate Fantastic Four and I liked it. I am a bad person.

[dissident]

well it's the last good movie he made. don't get hostile with us because you came in here and were shown how bad your taste is.

[mht]

no, i just have a brain not to like shit movies like unbreakable and fucking daredevil the same way i dont like shit music like the hold steady. it goes hand in hand really

[dissident]

and "cliche" is the only thing you've actually said to describe why you don't like it.

[mht]

i dont like it because it fucking sucks. you dont like spider man, and i dont like unbreakable. there.

[dissident]

no, i just have a brain not to like shit movies like unbreakable and fucking daredevil

stop bringing up daredevil, i've already said it sucks. you're grasping for straws at this point.

[mht]

im not even defending spider man. I've never even seen two of the spider man films. I just know the franchise made a lot of money. I think all Marvel films suck on the big screen, but unbreakable and daredevil are a lot worse. I'm saying you could have used much better films as your examples to what you think is good/better than Spider Man.

[dissident]

i dont like it because it fucking sucks. you dont like spider man, and i dont like unbreakable. there.

you've shown yourself to be a very thoughtful and articulate young man.

i've said why i don't like spider man. all i've gotten out of you is wonderful adjectives like "cock sucking"

I'll bring Daredevil ONCE, just to clear this up:

i wasn't trying to compare anything to spider man. she asked me what superhero movies i DO like. so i fucking told her. YOU lost your shit over a post that had nothing to do with you, nothing to do with spider man, and to be frank was none of your fucking business to open your mouth about it.

she asked you that question in relevance to you shitting on the spider man films for 5 posts on what you do actually like superhero wise. if you didnt come in here taking a shit on Spider Man she would have never asked you what two shitter films you enjoy. I thought it was funny you can say Spider Man sucks and then admit to liking two stinkers like Unbreakable and Daredevil, and you lost your cool about that. In the end, those films suck just as bad if not worse than Spider Man. The end.

Can't be any worse than the first three, which were awful. slightly enjoyable, but still awful. I still can't believe Spider-Man 3 was a real movie.

Oh hey, we agree on something. I'm shocked I even made it to see the second one with how
much I disliked the first.

[jwicklun]

i'll pre-face this with saying i don't know for sure how the relationship between raimi and sony for the first two flicks were, but i can't imagine they were jerking raimi around from the very beginning. if they really were controlling during the first film, i'd think he wouldn't have signed up for and done two more films. i think the third one's failure is what has played a big part in this whole fiasco. after making a successful first film, i assume sony let raimi do what he wanted for the second one, and then when that was even more successful raimi was able to have free reign again for part 3. when that proved to be a disaster they're making a choice to step in.
uuh in Spiderman 3 he had the least control. The studio pressured him to put Venom him when he specifically did not want him in. He had the most freedom doing 2 which was the best in the series.

[dissident]

i would have went with seger, but to each his own.

i must say they are doing a reboot of Spider Man, but Disney now owns Marvel Studios, so how can this be any better? Isn't there a chance it will be more stripped down and kiddish?

well it's supposed to focus on the characters as teenagers, so that's a big risk. it can only go up from spiderman 3 though, and as long as they cast someone with a pulse in the parker role it will be an improvement.

so before he was bit by the spider? so Peter as normal teen? Why don't they just call it 500 Days of Mary Jane Watson then.

Knowing how corrupt the film industry, he would probably get stuck playing Startled Citizen #2. No gift basket?!

[HogarthHughes]

This kind of bums me out. I really enjoyed the cast for this series, and I think Raimi brought an awesome touch to the films. The hospital scene in Spider-Man 2 wouldn't have been as effective if another director had done it. Oh well, here's to hoping Raimi re-visits the Evil Dead series.

[dissident]

god no, please leave evil dead alone.

[Jake Denning]

I fucking loved Kirsten Dunst.

as did I.

[jwicklun]

god no, please leave evil dead alone.
why is that bad? he directed the evil dead series.

[Hamlet]

Ah crap. I enjoyed this trilogy, the first two were great, and Spider-Man 2 is one of my favourite movies of all time.

Yes, we all know 3 was anything from misstep to a catastrophe depending on who you ask, but I was hoping that Raimi and the writers would learn from it, and use the same cast to make a kickass 4th film.

[KatastrophiE]

THANK GOD. This franchise was a disaster, first one was charming in its way, but the next 2... Its going to be really hard to find someone to fit into peter parker, i think tobey was alright, they could have found better. Tho he's a damn good actor i just always feel sorry for him for some reason when i see him on screen, even when hes fucking happy. What got to me more then anything was who they chose to be Venom, who is supposed to be spider-man's nemesis, and a pretty burly guy; they chose topher grace...who the fuck casted the last two? All im askin for is one good spider-man movie with venom as the main protagonist, its the least you owe spider-man fans, and if your feeling giddy throw in Carnage for good measure.

[sevinw0rds]

Main problem with this series: the villains were infinitely more interesting than the good guys. Tobey and his dead eyes, his cracking voice. Kirsten and her equally dead eyes and that vacuum of charisma. The characters definitely felt very alive in the first one, the colors popped, everything felt right out of a 1960's comic book, cheesy dialogue and all. Willem Dafoe went for broke, and he'd be one of my favorite villainous performances if he wasn't hampered by that damn Power Ranger suit they gave him. But by the second one, I got the feeling that no one but Franco and Molina wanted to do it at all. Tobey had almost dropped out because of lingering back problems after Seabiscuit anyway. I still don't understand how that movie is so revered. Story-wise, it is a treat (although very derivative of Superman 2) but the acting died long before the franchise hit the proverbial shredder in part 3. Plus, they started turning MJ into a complete bitch. Not cool.

As glad as I'd be to see new faces give this a try, they should definitely wait longer. The Incredible Hulk failed at the box office because most people thought of it as a sequel to Ang Lee's film, which is a shame cause it was solid and Norton was great. While I'm sure the new series won't have the same marketing problems, it's hard to imagine the greater majority of the audience (who admittedly loved these films) giving themthe benefit of the doubt unless they knock the casting out of the park. I'm also having a tough time thinking of a perfect candidate for Peter, although when Jim Sturgess was suggested for the musical I remember thinking he'd be pretty cool. It's gotta be someone with great comic timing, cause that was all but absent from Raimi's films as well. Spidey's sense of humor is integral to what he does.

Sorry...long-time fan of the character.

I just went on a laughing fit at work over this and my coworkers questioned what I was up to.

Anyway, pretty much everything you said in the two paragraphs, I completely agree with. I think you and Dissident have pretty much nailed how I feel about the series with what you guys said.

Jim Sturgess is in interesting suggestion. However, still may be too old in my opinion.

[jbaseball44]

Not sure how I feel about this. Liked Spiderman-2 a lot and thought the first one was okay. Hope the reboot is good but I can't say I'm overly optimistic at this point.

[drudo182]

I honestly think some of the backlash toward the first two films stems from the completely terrible taste the third one left in people's mouths. I watched the second one a month or so ago and I think it still holds up quite well. One of the most enjoyable movies.

I just read that the new one will be "gritty and contemporary". I'm all for that but Spider-Man is more lighthearted than Batman and such so I hope it doesn't go too overboard on the darkness.

I'm not sure that's true. I think that the backlash towards the first two is justified without even having to see the third one. I know for me, the chemistry/dialogue/acting in the first two failed to move me or keep me interested in either film.

Haha, happens to me all the time here.

If they're taking him back to high school, Jim is definitely too old for the role. I remember thinking he'd be cool for the musical cause the story was furthering what was already established in the films. I just can't think of any popular young actor that strikes me as a good fit, which is why going with a relative unknown once more sounds like a good idea.

I loved the first one upon its release, and still find it to be the closest to a Spider-Man adaptation featuring the characters I grew up loving. Even though I thought the second one was a step up visually, and it definitely raised the stakes between Harry and Peter, I couldn't help but feel that there wasn't enough joy in the narrative to bring me back for repeat viewings. It probably stems from the fact that Raimi is too heavy on the "this is my curse" aspect, rather than interspersing those moments where you know that being Spidey is also an escape for Peter. It's like you're supposed to feel sorry for him all the damn time, rather than discovering how he grows into this new life and begins to seriously get a kick out of it...without impromptu dancing and Jared Leto hair.

[TheHoldSteady]

This is disappointing to me.

[Recovery Room]

I never cared for this series anyway (the 3rd one is easily one of the worst movies of the last decade). I hated the tone of the films, the execution of the villains and the drawn out plot development(s). Kirsten Dunst was a horrible casting choice and I was never really fond of Tobey Maguire either. So, with that being said, as dumb as a reboot is this soon, I'm looking forward to it.

[Recovery Room]

[morte]

[thisisadisaster]

they just need to go with my spider-man 3 reboot idea.

spiderman 3 opens with harry as the gg flying in and like fucking killing mary jane hardcore. peter is like chris carabba depressed. he knows it was harry and hes all like that bastard! so he gets the symbiote suit and hes like fuck yeah gonna kill harry and hes all training and getting angry and shit. meanwhile hes getting into fights with eddie brock at work because eddie is hella jealous of peter's spidey n00dz. 2 and a half hours pass and spidey kills harry and then all the sudden he is like shit. i just killed my ex best friend that dated the girl i loved and then killed her. im spiderman i dont do that shit. so he feels all bad and stuff so he goes to the church to seek forgiveness. eddie sees him go by and hes like i gotta follow spidey so i can take pics of him undressing. spidey loses the suit, it falls on eddie, eddie is all like holy shit im just like spiderman but bad. then the movie is over.

[Recovery Room]

I wouldn't be mad if they just made Spider-Man vs. Vennom vs. Carnage and had them fight for two hours. They can forego any dialogue, love story, plot, etc and just have mindless action/fight sequences for the entire thing.

[kemichels]

Series needs more Carnage.

[Full Effect Ed]

Also, I can never forgive Sam Raimi for the bastardization of Venom.

Thank Sony for that...Raimi didn't even want Venom in it, hence the minimal screen time he was given

I will agree with this, but I'm trying to stay positive because I really really loved the first one.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I wonder if they'll have Gwen Stacy as Peter's first love this time rather than fucking up the character like they did in Spider-Man 3.

[WakingTheMisery]

In Ultimate Spiderman, her story was so tragic.

i know im going to be in the minority big time on this one, but i actually think efron could pull it off. its a stretch for sure, but i actually think if the project was in the right hands he could do the part justice.

cera would be an awful idea.

It has to be a guy who can be awkward but can deliver funny/cheesy one-liners without it being stupid and he has to be a believable age.

He can do non-pretty too. And he's pretty ripped as well.

Natalie Portman is the love of my life so I hardly care. ;-) I feel like Chris can pull it off. Thor is my favorite comic book character. As long as Asgard and NatPort look beautiful, I'll be happy.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

My thoughts.

In Ultimate Spiderman, her story was so tragic.
If they properly did her story from either Ultimate or Amazing, then I'd be excited to watch her tragedy unfold. That's something the series needs. Uncle Ben is his inspiration, but Gwen Stacy is a shot in the arm.

I actually do agree that Efron could probably pull it off in the right hands. I just really don't want him regardless because of his "fanbase" it would bring to the movie theaters with him. I don't want to sit in the movie theater with a bunch of High School Musical tweens.

Also, Stan Lee's thoughts (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/portals/news/?a=13698) on the reboot.

[WakingTheMisery]

Stan Lee can't spell enough? Hmmmm...

[Miss Heartcore]

It figures that they'd throw Efron's name into the mix because he has that high school image and probably the right hair. However, his acting skills are nothing short of mediocre/poor (among other things)

JGL would have been a decent choice to look into if he was younger.

Hence my quotations. It definitely wasn't meant to be viewed as slapstick or something like Wild Hogs and Old Dogs.

Have you ever seen another Raimi movie? He was clearly just using his old style. I'm not even sure why you would mention either of the films you did. Old Dogs was the biggest bomb of the year.

The point was that Raimi's vision wasn't setting out for something over-the-top ridiculous or straight-up retarded. Yes, his films had a cheese factor and humor mixed in, but his overall aim wasn't something of that like the crap examples I used.

Logan Lerman actually showed some great promise in 3:10 To Yuma. He's a bit young, but it depends on the approach they're going for as well. If it's more along the lines of the Ultimate series, he'd be great for the role.

you or I could have shown great promise in 3:10 to Yuma getting to work with Bale and Crowe. He had his work cut out for him.

True, but Ben Foster stole that film in my eyes. It's just that prior to 3:10, Logan had been in crap and that was the first time he had to hold his own next to dudes who kill it.

Either way, the primary requirement for something like this is charisma. Iron Man wouldn't be half the movie it was without RDJ, and that's the essential element that the Spider-Man trilogy was missing...a lead actor you find yourself missing whenever he's not on-screen.

I hope they have Spidey use web cartridges this time around, that'd be great.

He definitely was, at least in some scenes.

just play it safe and use Ryan Reynolds like every other superhero film does when they are in a pinch


Ryan Renyolds as Deadpool
Ryan Renyolds as jackass guy in Blade
Ryan Renyolds as The Green Lantern
Ryan Renyolds as Spider Man

has a nice ring to it

[kwsqd]

at least the girls will love it

[mht]

Ryan Renyolds as every Avenger

[B00sh]

Fuck Ryan Reynolds

Hopefully this new rebooted SPIDER-MAN movie franchise will contain the following 4 things.

1. mechanical webshooters

2. Spidey constantly cracking lots of jokes while he is fighting the bad guys.

3. Spidey keeping his mask on and not getting it torn off or taken off when he's fighting the bad guys.

4. Uncle Ben's killer living.

Hopefully this rebooted movie franchise will NOT include the following 3 things.

1. Spidey unmasking every 5 minutes.

2. Sandman being Uncle Ben's killer.

3. organic webshooters

You love that mask huh!

[drudo182]

I'd like mechanical webshooters myself.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

JGL would have been a decent choice to look into if he was younger.

My dream cast would consist of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but you're right.

[Bryant]

I'd like mechanical webshooters myself.Agreed.

Also, I'm all for this.

Loved the 1st 2, think the 3rd one really made this happen.

Me too man, I posted that earlier in the thread haha.

[TinMan20]

Just stumbled across this....says New Spiderman is already written?

http://www.collider.com/2010/01/11/spider-man-reboot-already-written-film-to-be-gritty-contemporary/

Gritty sounds good....still think its entirly too early to reboot the franchise

[fake empire]

Pretty sneaky of Sony to already have a backup script written

[drudo182]

The article says Vanderbilt wrote it awhile ago and the plan was to do a 4th film, then kind of reboot it so that's why it's done like that. Again, just from what I read yesterday.

[fake empire]

Ohh well I'm having a hard time getting excited about a reboot.

[Adrian Villagomez]

Hell yes. Re-do!

[Carpathia]

Hell yes. Re-do!

With Brian Michael Bendis Input and 3D!

[Adrian Villagomez]

No 3D for me, thanks.
