Things like this, remembering the great, iconic moments of the Rami trilogy (even some in Spider-man 3) make me a little sad that we'll never see a Rami Spider-man 4. It also makes me a little mad that he got so many great moments right, but busted up on a pretty good amount of others (again, mostly Spider-man 3).
I'm very excited for the reboot. I'm cautiously anticipating it. I'm not "thrilled" with Garfield as Peter Parker (Logan Lerman was my choice for his demeanor, look, ability, and age) or even Emma as Gwen, but I do like some of the other cast (Martin Sheen, Sally Field and Dennis Leary) so I'm willing to see how it all unfolds before judging anything. Garfield is a great actor, very good in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and The Social Network so I hope he can change my mind.
It's just a pity to think of what was, and how great a lot of the first trilogy was. I hope that this new trilogy can capture the wonder I felt while watching Spider-man as an eighth grader in 2002...
