Seems like they're more or less getting unknowns to work on this movie. I can't decide whether that's a good thing or not.

The writers aren't really unknowns. But the only movie they've written that I've seen is Horrible Bosses. Can't say anything else they've written looked all that appealing to me. And they've only ever done comedies so who knows if they have the chops to handle something that that will also have plenty of action.Quote:

Yeah, I'm not saying they can't do it. I'm just saying we don't really have a body of work from which to judge their abilities to do this sort of movie. All we really can say is that, as a production company, Marvel Studios knows their stuff so if nothing else I have some faith in that. I'm not going to go crazy getting my hopes up for now though.
Considering Marvel's track record (Phase 2 helping me to forget about some of the disappointment I may have felt with some aspects of Phase 1 and to look forward to Phase 3), I am cautiously hopeful that this new Spiderman will live up to the standards I've developed in watching their films.
I had a dream that the Marvel movies became as awesome as the comic books themselves.
Vision of the future?
I've still never seen any of the Spider-Man films, new or old. I just can't imagine the idea of third reboots in that short a timespan though. The fact that reboots are happening now less than six years apart from each other is bad enough.
