The Amazing Spider-Man Audiences...

I havent heard anyone act like SM3 was a financial bomb

You didn't say financial either So TIH to you was a good movie. SM3 was a good movie to some people too. See how your point is moot.

What are you talking about. I didnt deny the fact that people like SM3

Honestly if someone can't tell the difference between two different actors playing the same character in a different way, then they don't deserve to be watching films anyways. Esspecially when this is most certainly gonna be marketed as a retelling/reboot.

I agree with that.

But you forget the other option that I'm pointing to. Why do I want to see a variation on something I've already seen? The General audience doesn't know just how different the stories can be. All they know is that they've been there and done that. I'd hate for a reboot to fail just because people are excited by some other franchise (insert name here) because they get the idea that Spidey is just redoing something they've seen. Peter in high school.

It would be like POTC starting off with The Black Pearl again except this time without Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Yeah, it's different, but I"ve already seen Jack chasing the Black Pearl.

There are people who consider movies they didn't like a bomb. No matter how much money they made.

$890,871,626 says otherwise I guess bad movie make that much money..... let's ask the Spirit oh what's that? $39,031,337 lets try Superman Returns 391,081,192. I'm not saying money is all that matters to decide if something is good cause Transformers 2 made $834,969,807, but thats bad and it's not getting rebooted?

Very true! Trust me, ALOOT of people whent and saw S-M3 more than once. I know I did, and I'm proud of it.

If Sony decides to do a retelling of the origin, then I'll officially write off the company as moronic.

Seriously.

Most kids are still watching the Spider-Man movies religiously. They're not going to care about a reboot, because Raimi's movies are still fresh in people's minds and are very much a part of pop culture. It's been 8 years since the first Spider-Man came out.

When Batman Begins came out, it was 16 years after the original, and it was following an absolutely abysmal fourth installment. There was NO GOING BACK from Batman and Robin. The franchise's dignity had been permanently damaged, and the only way to escape Joel's Schumuckery was to reboot.

Spider-Man, for all the fans' whining was a well recieved movie and they could have easily released Spider-Man 4 with a solid reception. What did fanboys hate about Spider-Man 3? They screwed up Venom and they had Peter dancing. Boo hoo, let it go and and move on.

Batman rebooted out of necessity. There were no market trends to indicate that reboots would make lots of money, so Warner Bros. was doing it because they wanted to restore the franchise's dignity and a reboot was their only chance. Now, people reboot because it's more fashionable than fixing a franchise with a good sequel. Now if a franchise misses a note, they just hit the reboot button.

The sad part of all this is that we're STILL waiting for a proper Superman reboot, and yet there are tons of movies that SHOULDN'T be rebooted that get rebooted anyway. Reboot-itis is probably the worst thing to happen to movies in the 21st century. It really is a shame, because rebooting CAN be a good way to save a franchise, but like all good tools it inevitably gets abused and used for the wrong job constantly. Franchises that actually need reboots get overlooked, and popular franchises get reboots just because it's easier than coming up with new ways to grow characters.

Dude. C'mon.

KIDS are your examples, here? So if the new reboot looks kickass and exciting, you're telling me they're not going to care because they have the Raimi films? Does that sound remotely feasible?

I'll be as blunt as I can; no one gives a damn about what came before. At least not if what's here 'now' doesn't make you long for the past.

The audiences will except it if it's good. The ones who may have trouble excepting it are those who grew up with the Raimi films and have an emotional attachment to that version of the story . But that's no different then people who grew up with Keaton's Batman being resistant to Bale's Batman or those who didn't like Craig taking over from Brosnan because Brosnan was their generations Bond.

They'll be fine with a reboot if the story is fresh and engaging . Plus you'll have a new generation of children who will embrace this new Spiderman as their Spiderman.

Spiderman, like Batman, Superman, and Bond is bigger then one actor and the role is going to be passed down to different actors and versions through the years. That doesn't take anything away from the Raimi films, but it shows that the character indures.

Maguire wasn't the first actor to play Peter Parker , it was Nicholas Hammond in the 1970's or even the guy who played him on the Electric Company.

 

[Project862006]

Did Sony think about the audiences?

I mean, they've seen the origin, they've seen Green Goblin, Ock, Sandman, Goblin Jr., Venom etc. Now what? Do it again? It's hardly been A decade. I suppose they could start with other villains like Batman did...but damn.

exactly no one wants to see him in hs again we were over this it was covered well not to mention we have had the majority of his best villains

Edit - woops!

Thank you!

I wouldn't have minded a Spider-Man reboot at all if it weren't coming this soon. The original cast and director are still very fresh in people's minds. I'm not going to guarantee that the reboot is going to be a bomb (who knows, it's possible for the opposite to happen), but I think it has some big shoes to fill, especially since it's filling them this soon.

Whether fanboys want to admit it or not, the Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was very successful. The general audience overall loved these movies. This reboot has big shoes to fill regardless of what the "hardcore fans" or "comic book purists" think.

I also agree that I'd rather see Superman get a decent reboot first. The poor guy needs one more than all of these other franchises!
