It's still Sony.....
Because of all the film rights and contracts from before the purchase of Marvel by Disney. Disney would have to wait for the contracts to run or buy the rights (Which they've done for the Avengers). Simerly with the Theme Parks Universal brought the Marvel rights for their parks, then Disney brought Marvel but Universal (the arch enemy) can use Spiderman ect. In their parks and it's the same thing with the films.
What turned me off was that teenage vibe I get from the trailer. I want adult heros.
And part of the special effects look horribly cheap already in the trailer.
You sound like Stan Lee's boss way back when.
Yeah, I want adult heroes too. The teenage oriented feel has put me off a bit too but Parker is a teenager in the comics too isn't he? I only read a couple of the comics when I was a kid and I don't remember anything. I suspect one gets less of a "teenage vibe" from the comics though or am I wrong about this? I've always been told that Spiderman isn't supposed to be dark but I heard that the new film would be. I'll see the film on Saturday but I'm not expecting anything "spectacular".
Is it possible to delete posts yet?
However, there are some reviewers that dont like the fact that it's a reboot and funnily enough mark the film down simply because the movie exists.
Jest aside, obviously the success of Stan Lee´s works proves that a teenage hero resonates with a multitude of people. Fair enough. I just find it boring to watch young people go through their adolescent period. Not since my childhood days did I want to see teenage heros, I always liked the adult ones.
I remember that Spiderman has initially very little darkness it is about a schoolboy that get superpowers and than gets to learn an important lesson. But overall the Spiderman series originally is not known for its darkness.
I am glad that this is a step back from Raimi's version and that it steers towards a more youth orientated direction. That is were Spidermans roots lay.
All this gritty stuff nowadays is vastly overrated. One reason why I will watch TDKR on dvd I dislike the property in Nolans hands. On the other hands I found the Avenger movie a sigth of lightness among the general tendency to go Dark.
No, annoyingly.
Spider-Man isn't dark as batman but the source material has had more than it's fair share of dark moments. That being said, from people that I know who have seen this new spidey movie, the film is nowhere near as dark as what people thought it was going to be.
Which in my book a good thing. I remember Spidey as a smartmouthed loner that struggles with love and money while studying and earning a buck as photographer.
His comics made me more than once laugh out loud. Sam Raimi's version did not do that for me. So perhaps this new movie does have a better tone and from what I have heard that might just be the case.
I'm the same. Young Bond isn't too bad though. :)
Exactly. Those films were my childhood, and now, I am bitter to put it lightly. But, after Kiderman flea, who knows what could have happened.
It just won't be the same. In fact, my brother and I just bought the new game to the movie, and I simply keep comparing it to Spider-Man 2 the game without even realizing it. In fact, I had to fire up the GameCube and put in SM 2 just to get back to my roots!
Precisely! The web swinging is just simply an epic experience! There are no limits whatsoever, except for the water, which you can't swim in, sadly. But you can commit suicide by jumping off of the Empire State Building (lots of fun!), throw thugs off of rooftops, choose whether or not to save the falling construction worker (I did that today and let him die, hahaha), choose whether or not to save the people trapped on a skinking boat, cross the bridge into Roosevelt Island, hitch a ride on a helicopter to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, prevent car jackings, help the police take down criminals, I mean literally anything!!
How vindictive! I always try to save the civilians. You are Spiderman after all! The rare mission with people on the sunken boat was fun, yet difficult. Have you played Ultimate Spiderman?
Yeah I know, I hate re-boots as well. There's no need for them. If they wanted to continue making Spider-Man movies but without McGuire, then just get a new Spider-Man actor but continue off of SM 3 instead of wiping the slate clean.
It's the current trend in Hollywood, reboot all franchises to make them "grittier and darker", etc.

I've got no issues with reboots. I prefer them to direct remakes which more often than not are disappointing. Reboots can take on a whole new direction. Besides great characters deserve different interpretations as opposed to dragging out movie after movie in an existing series that could become tired and lack creativity.
They're really the same thing.
They can be of course. I think want I meant was a reboot of a series as opposed to a remake of an individual film. Example would be, doing a direct remake of Dr No. I would be against that. Dr No is a classic which should be left alone. However the reboot of the Bond movies with CR was a great idea and worked well for me.
