inkblot: Maybe this will be the comic book movie reboot that kills comic book movie reboots.

Comic book movies in general just need to go away.

When Spider-Man came out a decade ago, it was a wonderful time. Besides X-Men in 1999, all that was representing mainstream superhero movies at the time was Shumacher's Batman and Robin.

But after Spider-Man hit huge, the Big Two started pumping any old crap onto the screen... Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four, Ang Lee's Hulk... and it only got worse, until we wound up with complete crap like Jonah Hex and Green Lantern.

...Not that there's anything wrong with the characters, but the movies have turned to shiat.

And now, since various companies are desperate to hold onto the rights to certain properties, we get the reboots of films less than a decade old, and Spider-Man is tarted up for the Twilight crowd.

When the superhero movie craze began, it looked to be a good thing. Instead, it became a lesson to fanboys everywhere... be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

Meh, it looks like some of the Romita Jr. stuff. Ultimates, too. Could be worse.

JRoo: A new reboot of Spiderman that tells the same story of how Spiderman became Spiderman is becoming my favorite holiday tradition.

No, see it is completely different this time.

He gets bitten by a banana spider instead of an orb weaver. Changes the whole tone of the movie I hear.

He...glistens. And his neck looks like he's stretching it like Mr. Fantastic.

Or, you could, you know, just not go see the movie and stop pretending you really give a shiat.

I don't get it. How is he any worse than the last one, except I guess the hair?

Anyway, they're only doing this because if they don't make a Spidey movie every so often Sony loses the rights it it goes back to Marvel. So it's an even more cynical cash grab than other sequel/reboots/reimaginings/remakes.

LookS like he has Johnny Bravo hair.

If his hair gets any taller, he's not going to be able to put on the mask.

To be fair, have you read the old Spider-man books? He was always an emo boy.

forget Donald Glover, I would pay to see a Spider-Man movie played, in character, by Jean Ralphio.

Granted, Spider-Man's never been an icon of hairy-chested grunting masculinity, but that's... um...

Hm.

Dear Powers-that-be:

Please, no Doctor Strange movie. I wanted to see that at first, but I've changed my mind. I don't want to see you turn my good Doctor into a Vegas act, and I'm afraid that's exactly what you'll do.

I thought the previous film franchise bit the dust because the third one was too emo (among other problems). This one looks to out-emo it in every direction.

Will we ever have a witty, sarcastic spiderman?

...or will we have to wait for the Deadpool movie?

4NSpy: Thats not Donald Glover.

I love you.

I don't want to be that guy and I know that the Photoshop guy put a lot of work into it but that teaser poster is farking lame. It's just frustrating in that I do motion graphic shiat and I probably couldn't do any better but I know a lot of starving Photoshop guys who could. The blur tool. Use it, don't abuse it.

KPatrickGlover: You guys have actually read a Spider-man comic at some point, haven't you?

I don't know anything about the guy or his acting abilities, but just from a physical standpoint, he look a hell of a lot more like Peter Parker than Tobey Maguire did.

Add in Gwen Stacey and Denis Leary as her father, Captain George Stacey, and I'm actually looking forward to this.

I'll usually give a movie a shot whether it's a remake or a sequel. Batman Begins made me start thinking that cause I didn't watch it for a long time until my friends practically made me and I loved it. It's just too early for another origin story and the trailer just made it look boring. I'm going to wait until I hear what people say about it before I go check it out.

alwaysjaded: Batman Begins made me start thinking that cause I didn't watch it for a long time until my friends practically made me and I loved it.

Batman Begins was just so "procedural". Bruce Wayne went to train as a ninja and then we had to learn how he had to buy an extra thousand Bat-transmitters to cover what he was doing....he just wasn't insane enough. That's why Michael Keaton was better. This Batman/Bruce Wayne is just too rational, too sane, too pragmatic.

As for Spider-Man...who gives a shiat. It makes for cool video games.
