After watching the train wreck that was Spiderman 3, I'm good with a re-boot.

rightfully, they should have just apolgized for SM3.

COOL! Now Tobey can get back to work on the Robotech movie! :thumbsup

Jim Cameron should've done this way back... I couldn't care less about it, otherwise (then again, I'm not into comic books).

How can they reboot something that is just a few years old and as successful as the Spiderman series? I know the 3rd one stunk, but still...

There needs to be a rule about remakes. Something has to be at least 20yrs old before you can redo it.

It's only a problem when a movie is memorable... and none of these are.

I call bull****.

Well, this would free up Raimi for Evil Dead one more time.

Well, this would free up Raimi for Evil Dead one more time.

Which would also be a remake. How ironic!

Second that. I think it is too soon for a reboast..

Spiderman 3 was horrible, and they started a train wreck, but they could fix it if done correctly.

Hopefully this time, they can get an actress that fits closely to mary jane.....Kirsten dunst Yuck!!!

Well supposedly he has a story for Evil Dead 4.
Any remake I will likely not want to see, I think topping Bruce Campbell would be impossible.

I think topping Bruce Campbell would be impossible.

I'm sure he'll be in it... I mean, he was in the first remake!

Spiderman 3 was horrible but Spiderman 1 and 2 were fantastic.

The real issue is that with 3 no one really cared to be there. Raimi lost interest when everyone told him to put Venom in it. The cast was tired of Spiderman. I believe during an interview they said they weren't even trying. They just showed up for the paycheck.

That's about the only reason I can see for going with a reboot... but I say if that's the case, just put the franchise aside for a while and let it rest.

That will be the straw that breaks the camels back for me... replace BC? :sick

Evil Dead 4 ALL THE WAY!

As for spiderman I say good... And get a prettier Mary Jane while your at it. ( I know she wasnt supposed to be a supermodel but... yeah.)

 

[EvilRocketeer]

Well she wasnt suppose to be an albino plain jane either

 

[0neiros]

Any excuse to replace Kirsten Dunst is a good one. She can't act, and if ever there was a need for a ***-Job to firm up those coin purses, there you go. Dump toby, bring in Jake Gyllenhall, or some other hobbit.

And she actually was a model in the comics.

Kirsten Dunst just rubbed me wrong. I think it was some interview I read with her were she thought it would be a good idea to have her prego with Peter's baby, kill off Peter and have the baby take over. It was nuts and showed her absolute lack of knowledge of the source material.

And get a prettier Mary Jane while your at it.

They didn't cast MJ as well as they should have.
There was a certain special MJ-ness missing.

Too Bad Niki Cox is too old. She would have been perfect. She was on the tv show Unhappily Ever After
