'The Amazing Spider-Man' - (2012)
Looks more like 'Twilight-Man.' I couldn't refrain from laughing at the shot at 0:44 -- looks like something directly out of Twilight (and what's with the holes for his thumbs in the long sleeve shirt, didn't people stop doing that about 10 years ago?) These "superhero" films -- or rather, comic book adaptions -- are getting progressively worse as the years go by. |

-Bangs head against desk- Why? Do we need another reboot? I for one am getting tired of super hero movies, and choosing a highly successful one from just a couple years ago for money seems like a bad move. They could have at least taken a different approach and not done the played out origin story. I'll give them credit, I really liked the first person scene, but it looked a lot like a video game.

And yes, it's the new 'Spider-Man' movie - it's also going to be in 3D. |

And the snake eats itself in ever tighter circles the industry spirals into the pit made by their own demands for "infinite extensions on intellectual property".

Okay, now I'm usually tolerant of the Super-Hero craze that's been going around, but this new Amazing Spiderman movie is simply a load of crap.
I will say, I did sort of laugh when Tetra said "Twilight-Man." This is a reboot of a movie that only came out 9 years ago when Toby Maguire did Spiderman 1. Why would you reboot a movie still relatively fresh in our minds? Evidently, from the actors they hired, they wanted to get some Estrogen Brigade Bait. If you don't know what that means, or you dislike TVtropes, it basically means that they hired a bunch of dudes to play fanservice for the ladies... just like pretty much any Twilight Movie. I'm highly disappointed, and I think that many people have gotten enough Spiderman for a generation. After Spiderman 3, I think that this superhero should've retired from the Big-Screen. Unless we're gathering the Marvel Avengers or something, but any movies solely revolving around Spiderman should be laid to rest. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if the fangirls would probably keep this movie alive in the box-office.

@ Mr. Wang.
This is my biggest worry right now with Hollywood. After the unfortunate success of Twilight, I'm starting to get the feeling that major studios want to take source material that is usually aimed towards a more male demographic and turn it into some PG-sissy love story in an attempt to appeal to everyone. Sorry, but it doesn't work. You can include fanservice for both genders without having to sacrifice the edge of said source material, but I guess the rich just want to get richer and will sacrifice quality to reach that goal. |

Same for Wolverine as above. He was never an Avenger until just recently when they decided to put the biggest sellers on the title. And by recently, I'm talking like 2004-ish. |
