Spidey reboot - Page 2

~~Leo656~~ · 01-22-2010, 04:50 AM

I liked the first one; two was alright; the third was pretty underwhelming. I'm not sure why the first one gets hated on so much, but it wasn't perfect by any stretch.

Still feels too soon for a reboot, though. I'll end up seeing it when it comes out, regardless.

It's funny how everyone seems to hate them now because I can clearly remember a time when pretty much everyone seemed to be jizzing their pants about how "deep" Spider-Man 2 was.

That still seems to be the general consensus; this is the only place where I've ever seen anyone speak ill about it.

Personally I think all three movies are trash, though I can at least somewhat understand why some people might enjoy the first two. The third, however, is a piece of sh*t by any objective standard.

I'm pretty sure this is not true at all. Venom was put in against Raimi's wishes.

Maguire has just been cast as Bilbo Baggins in Del Toro's The Hobbit. Interesting development.

That...has nothing to do with this thread.

I thought it may have relevance in the fact that his leaving the role of Peter Parker may have (or probably did) influence the reboot decision.

Ok, well that movie lost a slew of charisma.

link?
all I can find is that it's still just a rumor since Maguire haven't talked to Del Toro yet

There are two articles now. Use your own discretion as to the validity of the source.

*Mecha Cow* · 01-22-2010, 06:29 PM

IGN says Maguire is not in The Hobbit. F*ck that movie if he is.

ooglafina · 01-22-2010, 06:32 PM

I'm starting to doubt the validity of the statements too. One says that an anonymous source says that he was cast, and if that's true then he was just cast yesterday and the person blabbed before it was announced. They say their source is guardian.co.uk, but I didn't find anything. I do know that they are casting The Hobbit as we speak. So it isn't out of the question that he's been offered the role. Whether or not that's good is up for debate.

Yeah I sort of agree it's too soon to get a reboot but still I'd love to see another 'vision' on the character & his world.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-22-2010, 09:05 PM

try getting this out of your head; Maguire walk dancing from Spider-man 3 as a hobbit, pointing at random female fantasy characters

*Brodie* · 01-22-2010, 09:12 PM

I think the reboot will work.

I enjoyed the Incredible Hulk far more than Ang Lee's Hulk.

And everyone knows how I felt about Tobey McGuire and the 3 Spidey flicks. Anything else they give us that doesn't have that douchebag or Raimi involved would be prime.

Anything is better then the apple-headed-no-facial-expression-not-funny-uninteresting Spider-Man that we got with mcGuire.

Plus, Ultimate Spider-Man was awesome.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-22-2010, 10:56 PM

When did this thread become the dumping ground for what MacGuire does next? F*ck him, Spidey's freed from him and Raimi, cause for celebration

*odupianist* · 01-25-2010, 07:58 AM

The main reason I enjoyed the fact Raimi was tied to the Spider-man movies: Bruce Campbell. Enough said.

**Shredder** · 01-26-2010, 01:41 AM

I'm not sure how I feel about this but I agree that it seems a little soon for a reboot. I enjoyed the first two Spidey movies, but the third was pretty disappointing. I'll keep an eye on how this is shaping up but knowing me I'll probably end up seeing it even if it sucks...

*Koi* · 01-28-2010, 05:41 PM

Today in my math class I heard that Zac Efron is playing spider man from one of my friends...I'd just find it a humorous performance if he did play. Way to go Disney...

*Brodie* · 01-28-2010, 09:07 PM

After seeing 17 Again, I'd be fine with Efron being Peter.

I actually thought the same thing, if he's not too old. He is in his 20's.
