Spiderman, Rebooted

[Darth Geek]

apparently he's not going to be spiderman for a large part of the movie, if at all. this is looking to be an all backstory prequel, people.

Peter Parker spends his days trying to unravel the mystery of his own past, until the day that he discovers a secret his father held that will ultimately send him down the path of becoming "Spider-Man"

I'm going to make a movie called Horses, Horses, Horses;  and not have a single horse in it.

How about a movie called Monter A-Go Go and there is no monster. NAH! That'd be stupid.

Based on the spoiler pics from the set that I've seen, he will definitely be Spider-Man in this movie, probably for at least the last third of the film.

I don't see this as a bad thing considering that Batman Begins didn't have Bruce suit up as Batman until halfway through the film.  And I love that movie.

I'm not saying one way or the other if this movie will be good or not.  I think it's way too early to tell that with any certainty.  But, I'm willing to give it a chance.  After all, if I had to choose between a Spidey Reboot or Spidey 4, I'd choose Spidey Reboot any day of the week.

Why am I getting a disturbing HULK vibe? This sounds like what they did in that movie, where it was the experiments the father did that made the accident have different effects than it normally would.

it almost sounds like its taking part of the plot from the Ultimate spiderman game and universe where his dad was a biologist that inadvertently created (and was killed by) the venom suit.

or maybe (hopefully) they explore the fact that his parents were shield agents.

I doubt Sony is going to use anything Shield related, since that would be giving attention to a rival studio, what with Shield being the core of Disney/Marvel's Avengers movies.

It's a damn shame, and  I really wish we could get all Marvel's characters under one umbrella, but hey, whaddya gonna do.

Give it time. I guarantee that Disney has a cadre of lawyers poring over all those contracts Marvels signed before the acquisition, looking for a way out.

plus they've probably got disney's head hooked up to a super computer doing the same thing.

Everyone knows Disney's head is attatched to the body of a giant robot spider.

No that's Richard Nixon's head you silly sailor.

Hey no need to get nasty.  I think that silly sailor was uncalled for.

Well, I might let you down on Silly Sailor.

This is not a productive area of discussion.

OFFICIAL PLOT SYNOPSIS

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets.

As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Emma Stone as a blonde is starting to grow on me. I still think it makes her look more generic than usual, perhaps even a bit older, but still as cute as ever. Sorry, I'm veering off track...SPIDER-MAN!

[Darth Geek]

*sigh* The fact that they devote HALF of that synopsis, and entire paragraph, to Peter Parker's home life situation, and only say Spiderman in the last sentance...be afraid people.

[D.B. Barnes]

It doesn't mention him opening a business with Tom Haverford?
