What makes this move disappointing is all the work the previous movies did to set up a Doc Conners/Lizard moment.

I will say that I like that they are going back to something the previous trilogy lacked, and that is the brilliant Peter Parker. The second movie is the only one that really dealt with this in a meaningful way (and it was of course the best of the three movies).

I like that Stacey gets a meaningful role and is placed in her rightful place as Parker's first real girlfriend.

But, I worry that this movie will so try to get out of the shadow of the earlier trilogy that it will lose what made those movies a nice addition to the Marvel Universe.

Too true on the Lizard part, setting that up and than rebooting a new Spider-Man movie instead. Instead of rebooting movies where you have to watch how they get their powers, they should just spin it off and learn from their mistake. Seriously how many times must we watch a reboot where everyone in the theater probably knows how they got their powers. But that's Hollywood for you.

I think people get a little too worked up over comic book films. Some are great, some suck, but they're usually entertaining and that's what this is all about. The only comic book "type" (not sure how to classify it) movie that I thought was so bad that it shouldn't have been made in recent memory was that GI Joe movie with the guy who is in a lot of those movies where they have gang dance-offs in back alleys.

Agreed, it's a Hollywood movie, just take it with a grain of salt and enjoy seeing your favorite characters in life.

2012 is shapping up to be a good comic movie year, maybe better than 2011.

Hell, even Ghost Rider is looking good. Maybe we can get a good FF reboot soon.

Info on the reboot for FF.
