The Amazing Spider-Man The reboot announcement is the movie equivelent of "One More Day."

Instead of fixing their problems, Sony just decided to take the easy way out and drop an A-bomb on the current storyline. People who loathed the current version of the story praise the decision to high heaven, but the fans grounded in the current version are going to breathe fire over it. The only thing missing is Peter Parker signing a contract with the devil. Who knows, maybe that will be this new movie's first scene?

I was thinking the same thing, I've never read the One More Day/Brand New Day storyline only what I've read from Wizard but this is almost as if Sony got their idea from.

sheeit OMD >>> This news. At least with One More day I can ACT like it never happened.

What they need to do is somehow let the audience know that despite the reboot, the previous movies were good and they aren't rebooting it (like the Hulk was) because they were bombs or even because the 3rd film was a bomb. Just that they wanted to reboot the franchise with a different direction.
I think the reason everyone seems freaked out is because we all liked the movies and it feels like they are saying the previous movies were so bad they have to burn everything to the ground and start from scratch.

If we didn't know that Spider-Man 4 was almost going to happen and that all the crew was returning, a reboot wouldn't have seemed out of line.

Agreed.
