Rented this the other day on BD.
"ME TOO!"
That's what this movie kept shouting to me, over and over. I'm always skeptical of doing these "reboots" of character series, over and over, even if they're not pure re-makes of the same movie. No matter how many times you re-do a character series, I guarantee there will ALWAYS be another writer, or director, or producer, that adamantly says, "But I want to do it too, and I KNOW I can make it better!" :roll: Yes, I'm glad that Christopher Nolan did his Batman re-boots, and they're simply awesome. But do we really need a never-ending re-hash of Hulks, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, etc?
No. We don't. I would have been just fine had this movie never been made, and/or if they had continued the previous Spiderman series, even if they used different actors, like the Batman series did for a while, as long as they got it back on track. But I think this movie was unnecessary, and really just a ploy to try and get back into the box office. It wasn't that it was "bad", it was just... unnecessary. Now we have yet ANOTHER Superman reboot coming up later this year with "Man of Steel". :roll:
Give us a break, Hollywood. EXPAND the stories that you tell through film. Don't keep telling the same stories over, and over, and over, in the latest way that you think is "fresh" and hip!
Again, not a bad film so a reluctant :3: out of :5:. I want to push it even lower, but it's really not that bad. ... and I don't ever mind looking at Emma Stone. :T
