I never liked the Spider-Man series that much. Just never got me. So, imagine my, well, glee’s not the word I’m looking for here, help me. OK, how’s about annoyance? To find out they’re making a new one. It’s a little different than the others tho:
It’s a little more than the suit tho. Since most of the actors balked at Spidey Four, they decided to restart the whole thing from scratch ala Star Trek without the time warp. This could be the worst idea of all time. Well, Footloose will forever hold that honor with me. But, it’s still awful. Why would anyone want to see what they already own with different actors? I mean, the series isn’t even OLD yet.
What do you think?
I’m with you. And I’m totally against remakes (especially remakes too soon) done without the original actors. If they can’t be convinced I think that’s the sign that everyone needs to accept as “this isn’t going to happen.” I will elaborate to say that, for me, it was just one of these spectacle-for-the-sake-of-a-spectacle films that bore me. Kirsten Dunst is a chicle-toothed goblin and a spoiled brat. I heard she was the one who killed the franchise acting like she was above everything–in the same way as Megan Fox re: Transformers. I could have been into the Spidey films (even with Toby Maguire who is just too childlike for me to take seriously as a superhero) but KD sucks and TM was sick of kissing her because everyone thought she was gross. Which is reminiscent of her dis on Brad Pitt for their kiss in Interview with the Vampire. I love it.
Actually I have to agree. I COULD be a Spider-Man fan. I HATED the movies so far. Although Reboot could improve on what was there, I’ve already seen it. I know he gets bit by a spider. I know his dad dies. I know he can’t love the girl of his dreams. On and on…. Spoiler? Fat chance. They should have just jumped a LITTLE in the future and explained his changed appearance that way. Hollywood seems to have totally ditched the concept of continuity of late.
Nope. He cannot have the girl of his dreams. Recently (maybe a-couple-years-ago recently) in the comics, Peter Parker gave Mary Jane Watson cancer with his radioactive spermies and killed her. REDONKULOUS.
Well at least show some of that action. Something, anything, new.
