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.
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
I don't care.
I think the original Sam Raimi Trilogy will always be better.
I think the Marc Webb combo of Spider-Man films will always be better.

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.
On the other hand, you could say the same about the Russos, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier was pretty great in my opinion.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
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.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
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.
I like Kung-Fu.
