Well, it looks like there'll be no Spiderman 4... but a reboot of the franchise instead. Not sure how I feel about this:

What? I thought you had to wait at least twenty years to do that.

I'm skeptical considering how shit the third one was. Each film had their own issues, but a reboot is kind of confusing at this point. Other than profit, I don't know why they would want to try and ruin a great comic book legend with shitty adaptations. I think I'll wait to see more info before I make a solid decision on how I feel.
I just wish they made a more hardcore NC-17/R-Rated movie with Carnage as the villian... but that won't happen ;(

Well, I don't really trust Avi Arad's decisions, as he and the other suits totally screwed up Spider-man 3. They basically forced Sam Raimi to put Venom in 3, even though he didn't want to. I'm not holding my breath on this to be a good thing.
some bullshit. I read about the possibility of this happening a week or 2 ago since neither Tobey or Raimi were ready to do spiderman 4... I read that it was a timing issue w\ Raimi and another film and that the studio wanted the movie to be made and released in a certain time frame that wouldn't be possible for him.
rebooting a franchise that isn't very old is just a bad idea imo. are they going to reboot xmen also?(aside from origins movies)

I agree with Sapphire they should have waited another 5 years at least before rebooting.
All valid points. The Spider-man movies are too recent and already contemporary. This sounds like a Hollywood money grab.
I'd love an NC-17 Spider-man but that would lose 75% of the potential viewership since Spider-man has always been for kids.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
so, what, again with uncle Ben getting shot? more of the "it was my fault" soup?
weren't three movies about the horrible love life of Peter Parker enough? I don't see any reason to have spidey waste half a movie about coming to terms with his powers, and then another half movie about fighting the goblin.
it's been tedious, the beginning of each superhero story is the most boring part. Spiderman has finally reached the stage that he can actually have an interesting plot (there has to be at least one decent storyline in the hundreds of comics that can be made into a movie), and they decide to reboot it?

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Spider-Man 2 was awesome. Spidey 3 sucked hard, but if they can bring back the feel of the first 2 movies, that wouldn't be too bad. But seriously, I'm hoping it's going to be fresh without ruining it for fans of the original comics.

The reason for this reboot is because raimi wanted the vulture as the main villian, while sony wanted the black cat, sony is going to lose the license for spider-man movies and will have to give the rights to marvel, since they are against the clock, they don`t have the time to argue with raimi and come to an agreement so they basically said "fuck it".

"The original plan was to keep the Spider-Man gang together for one last film in 2011 before rebooting the series in 2012. When it became clear that Raimi would not be able to make the summer 2011 release date planned for Spider-Man 4, the studio opted to scrap Spider-Man 4 altogether, and focus solely on the series reboot."

This article is saying that the reboot was already planned, and that since Raimi pulled out... they simply scrapped spiderman 4 and moved along w\ the reboot. I was under the impression that it was a matter of throwing a movie together ( which it still is )
It's going to be epic fail.
We have 3 spiderman movies which flesh out Spiderman to how people like him to be fleshed out.
A reboot would ruin the comic and any movie adaptations.
Hollywood is full of idiots. Sony does not have any intelligent people working for them. Sony has a good track record of ruining shows/movies and running then in to the ground 6 feet under.
My thoughts on the matter.
The Hulk reboot turned out ok after only one movie. Maybe this will too. Although I don't like the idea of some shiny-ass effeminate vampire playing Peter Parker.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
I never saw the movie, but I didn't think The Hulk reboot was an origin story. That's why it did well.Originally Posted by Raven
DeathBoo already mentioned this. The Spiderman franchise is at a point now where they don't have to waste time with an origin story. They should be making The Dark Knight, but instead they're wasting time on Batman Begins. There's not a person who would go see this Spiderman reboot who doesn't already know the character.
If they can create an original, moving, and gritty character-study within the framework of Spiderman's origin story, it will be good. I have a feeling we're going to get the opposite: A hackneyed and trite origin story with "gritty" elements tacked on for the sake of selling tickets.

The first Hulk movie was terrible, and only partly because it featured Jennifer Connelly with A cups instead of her usual D cups. So a "reboot" movie was a good idea, as it should have been the way the first movie was made.
It's the same as the Batman "reboot". Not really a reboot, but a correction of the previous movie offerings which did a terrible job of telling the Batman story.
The Spider-man movies were great (3 not so much, but not as bad as other superhero movies). The series doesn't need a reboot. It needs a great script and great direction.

true...
The Hulk w\ Eric Bana was pretty bad. I really liked the last one w\ Ed Norton though.
Part of the problem with a movie about The Hulk is that he is a pretty one-dimensional and straight-forward character, so you need a strong supporting cast. This is in contrast to Batman and Spider-man and other superheroes/mutants who can stand on their own for at least a movie or two, and can be supplemented with super-villains as the series progresses.
I didn't see the second The Hulk movie. But I think a successful movie would show more about Bruce Banner in random everyday life, someone pissing him off, and he turns into the Hulk and smashes them. I think a true super-villain would also help the story, instead of the usual US Army trying to kill him, but that would suck because what super-villain could beat the Hulk?

I actually didn't like Incredible Hulk as much as Hulk, simply cause of the more accurate backstory and the FAR more accurate portrayel of the hulk himself.
The leaping insane distances, his physique, actually growing when getting angry and heck simply his movements all felt so much better.
Sure the action was good in Incredible Hulk, and heck I don't care that much about what they want to do with the backstories and such, but the second movie didn't capture the hulk as what he is to me.
And as such I think a reboot this soon for spiderman is a big mistake.
Here's what this movie would look like if Wes Anderson got a hold of it:
