    Yeah, I probably should have been clearer. He had a few one-liners and whatnot in the Raimi films, but in the comic books Spider-Man almost never stops talking. I just got done reading Amazing Spider-Man 666 and in it he's invited to an Avengers-only poker game for the first time. Most of the Avengers state that he's never been invited before because his spider sense almost worked like a lie detector, but Wolverine comments that they also never invited him because he never shut up.

    The clip they showed during Comic-Con with Spider-Man trash talking the robber while he's kicking the crap out of him was perfectly toned. I have high hopes for this movie.

    Unless this one fails. Then it will be another reboot in 2014.

    I'm looking forward to this one, though. It doesn't look quite as campy as Raimi's.

    Going to be interesting to see if they can offer anything better or more interesting than the last 1st one, which IMHO was a very very good super hero flick


    Some aspects of this new one just feels off to me. For example, this casting:-

    Same here. I'm willing to give it a chance for multiple reasons, but that trailer didn't exactly get me excited....

    It's just so damned unnecessary at this point.

    Yeah, a total reboot only a few years from the last series of films is probably the worst part of it all. If anything, they probably should have tried changing directors/actors and continued where Raimi left off. Kinda how they've always done with the Bond series or even when Shumacher took over the Batman films. Continuing the franchise may not work well(Shumacher), but it's at least better than throwing out a reboot within only a few years.

    They could have easily put Andrew Garfield in for McGuire and make this story a continuation from the earlier films. Hell...the look isn't all that different. Other than being a bit darker, of course...

    not unnecessary, just bad direction. they are trying to make spiderman as dark and gritty as batman. who was dark and gritty because he was batman in the main role.

    this is the amazing goddamn spiderman he is neither dark nor gritty.

    Yup, I agree just another generic action movie. Out of all of the comic book superhero movies, the only ones I found interesting was Dark Knight and Spawn.

    Milk and Cheese is the one comic book that deserves to be made into movie. They are true heroes.

    I admit that I'm not very knowledgable about Spiderman's source material or different incarnations, but what exactly screams dark, gritty, and batman about this trailer? As I mentioned earlier, this actually looks fairly similar in tone to Raimi's films, if i'm honest. It may be a slight bit more on the "serious" side and less campy than Raimi's, but nothing about this seems like an imitation of Batman. If anything could be called "darker" it's probably just the visual aesthetic because this seems to take place more at night while a majority of Raimi's were during the day.

    As I said earlier, they could have easily made some alterations and called this Spiderman 4. It's not THAT different from the previous three. But nothing about it brings Batman to mind...

    A la crapfest Superman Returns? No thanks. No Tobie, no dice. I don't mind a reboot now, just don't let me down.

    And pffffft, whatever. I thought Spawn was pretty dang sweeet.
