In all honestly, I'd rather see a reboot than see that fgt Maguire on-screen completely DEMOLISHING the Peter Parker character. Parker was a nerdy weakling that was bullied, but also had a propensity to help others out in his situation, not a nerdy faggot that no one liked because he was a faggy emo.
IMDB says John Malkovich is/was set to play the VULTURE role. Vulture. You have got to be kidding me. I am/was a huge spidey buff, and being a fan for 20 years of my life I know what villians made the most impact, most of them including names like Doc Ock, Kraven, Venom, Green Goblin, Hob Goblin, Alistaire Smythe, and Mysterio. Vulture, sure he had a good run in spidey's first 5 years, good revivals with the sinister six, and a really good run during the Ben Reilly Spiderman (Scarlet Spider) days, but really, aside from capturing may parker and holding her hostage, WHAT THE FUCK HAS THIS VILLIAN DONE TO DESERVE MOVIE FUCKING STATUS?
In my opinion, nothing. They lost out. People have been SCREAMING for a Carnage movie (which is logically un-doable for now), but myself, I've been crossing my fingers for a Hobgoblin and Kraven movie.
Eh, could have just changed the production team and fucked off Maguire for someone else instead of sending the story back to high school and more than likely subjecting the audience to another 2/3 of a movie about Spider-Man getting his powers.
Morbius is gonna be the bad guy, and they're gonna bring John Jameson as the wolf-dude back and Spiderman is actually going to be a confused adolescent girl. Also, they've been building up the Lizard since forever ago, and now it's all gone to waste. Also, no Bruce Campbell cameos brings will hurt it a lot.

The movie should have been about Venom and the return of the green goblin in the form of Harry, but to do that they would have had to darken Spider-man and the producers weren't willing to lose the kid audience to make a better movie. So they instead made the sandman character and talked about forgiveness.
I came out so dissapointed after Venom was only in the movie for a half an hour....
I don't mind the reboot as I'm not a fan of the same story arc going on forever. A sequel to any movie works really well, a trilogy can work too but if you're trying to keep a franchise successful you need to mix things up a bit. Whether setting the movie with Peter Parker being the focal point rather than Spiderman is a clever thing to do we can't really say yet. But if they do go ahead with that plan, I hope they run it in The Godfather II style, where you've got Al Pacino in the present and Robert DeNiro playing Don Vito in the past.
And frankly it could work because Peter Parker before Spiderman is definitely a completely different character to Peter Parker after Spiderman.
I think it had more to do with the Mary Jane/Peter Parker love story that killed it. I hated that most of the movie focused too much on Mary Jane and her shitty acting career and Petey not paying attention to her and kissing different girls. Fucking hated Kristen Dunce or whatever her name is.
That guy from That 70s show was a gay Venom also, Eddie Brock was supposed to be a Brock Lesnar sized psycho. Not some scrawny ass douche who was more "ooh I'm kinda mad at yoo!" than absolute hatred for Spiderman.
Brock went to fucking jail, got diagnosed with cancer, worked out and beefed up to keep himself in peek physical condition, got out, started a photographer career, and got beat to the punch by Peter Parker whom also screwed him at every corner as spiderman. Spidey split with the symbiote and Brock was there in the church trying to kill himself.
They made Peter Parker a fucking emo when he got the black suit (was supposed to be a dark-sided, edgy, and tempermental Parker, not a fucking suave swing dancer that was trying to make people jealous of him).
THEN they fucked up in making Eddie Brock a spineless jerkwad that got all down on himself because he lost his job after what... two incidents with spiderman??? It took nearly 80 issues and 1 year of Spidey stories to even get him to that point.
Sam Raimi was paying FAR too much attention to the emo FAD that was in uproar during that time. Not sure if he was tryign to attract all the spider man fans that just wanted to kill themselves for attention, but if he was, kudos, he did it.
Just randomly decided to do a google image search for Bryce Dallas Howard aka Gwen Stacey and discovered she's shown her tits and bush in movies before. Sadly she's a natural redhead it appears...
A very smart move. I completely agree with proof, Raimi made the story way too kid friendly, making it impossible to truly move forward with any type of villain. Look at what happened with Batman. At first Burton had the grungy look and then Schumacher made it all kinds of Cartoony. From there things went spiraling out of control.
Now look at the movies out now, successful and darker. Batman Begins set the tone for this, Dark Knight is self explanatory, Ironman 2 said it was going to delve into Starks alcoholism(i might be mistaken there), Watchmen did a great job at giving off that dark feel and the incredible hulk was also a huge improvement.
It was reported the studio was looking for a younger director to take the reins and that can really mean only good things. Younger directors seem willing to take more chances than some of the older ones. I hope this one takes a grungier look at things, give me Spider-Man getting his ass handed to him for a few scenes against whomever the villain is.
I think really what a lot of these new movies have touched on is the human aspect of the hero. A lot of the films before just kind of treated them like these indestructible heroes. In the new Spider-Man we just heard Parker whine about mary jane. The comics weren't all that either.
Ironman 2 is going to be putting a major emphasis on Starks alcoholism, or do u mean the entire story will be about it?
I'ven ever read the spiderman comic books, i just watched the movies. Sm3 was horrible, atrocious, boring as hell. Seriously, Topher Grace as Venom? I can't see Eric Foreman as a villain, he's a bigger pussy than screech was.
Fuck sake, the series is less than ten years old and doesn't need to be "rebooted" just change the director and lead actor and let Kevin Smith write a scene and Spider-Man four would have been great.
Don't want to watch Peter Parker failing with girls and math class for two hours.
I hope Rockamania post is a lie. Reboot is stupid it is more focused on high school life. People are going to be confused on what is going on with the series.
Carnage has to be over the top violent for him to be in a spiderman movie.. There is no way the studio goes with an R rating to have Carnage in a film.
I would vote for Rhino. He's a pretty basic villain, and you don't want deeper villain characters in the first film. I think having a gigantic villain against a scrawny high school kid is nice dynamic.
BB and TDK were both great films, but I don't want to see every comic book based film coming out to be in that same mold. Gritty dark realism or whatever.
Kinda irrelevant tho, never been a big fan of the Spidey movies.
was gonna rep this to you, but since I have to spread here it is anyways.
A man can dream, can't he? I get that Spiderman is a big movie thing for younger kids, but pushing the envelope with Carnage could be awesome and I think it could be done short of Rated R. There's a rating between PG-13 and R, right? In canada I think it's called AA (Adult Accompaniment and it's like 16) you shoot for that and it could be epic.
Its a losing scenario anyway. Its been bastardized to the point of being irrelevant. If done right, an R rating Spiderman could be HUGE...but def incredibly unlikely
Spider-Man "rebooting" WTF?
