I hope not, 3 and out and then reboot is stupid. There really is no reason why comic book characters like spiderman or batman etc have to be limited to a trilogy (though the original batman films did go up to 5 or w/e). I have hopes that by going back to Gwen and so on that the studio can then go past 3 films. Spiderman is still spiderman even when he's an adult, no need to really stick to the early years all the time.

Well, reboots will always be there. No matter what. Its how the companies make profits, but I guess there will be a time, when no one will demand a reboot. Even the hardcore fans

^This, if reboots **** people off then you're in a butt load of moaning cause that's pretty much what we can expect from now on. Reboots will become common place, specially with comic stories and it's prob the one place the reboots will work out the best. There will always be some studio or direct/producer that will always pitch a new idea. Just wait till they reboot Batman again thinking they can do better then Nolan.

I saw the trailer and couldn't believe how annoying they've made Peter Parker. With the previous films they did a lot to make the character likeable and appear vulnerable, whereas here we see him delivering moronic one-liners and acting whiny. This looks like it will further tarnish the Spider-Man brand, just like Superman Returns did for Superman. More worrying is that The Amazing Spider-Man is meant to have a runtime of 90mins, which is considerably shorter than the original Spider-Man (121mins) and much less than Batman Begins (140mins) or The Dark Knight (152mins) - for a reboot that seems very short.

You only have to look at the way the Batman franchise has been turned around to see what's possible by sticking to the source material and actually developing characters (especially when rebounding from something as bad as Batman & Robin). And I'd say that the videogames - Arkham Asylum and Arkham City - did an even better job, as the way the villains interact with each other is simply exceptional and they all fit into the narrative without seeming forced. It's the same with Star Trek - they were incredibly faithful to the franchise (I was impressed and I've watched every episode of every series in order, plus all 11 movies) and yet still managed to take a bold direction with the canon. I just wish Marvel would stop going for the cheesy approach all the time - they largely avoided that for Iron Man and it was considered a huge success. And, most importantly, they need to stop trying to make the majority of the movie using CGI. One of the reasons I liked the Batman films so much was because the CGI was much more subtle, unlike Marvel films (Spider-Man, Thor, The Hulk, X-Men) which are incredibly cartoony (and not in a good way) - George Lucas made the same mistake with the prequel films.

I like the fact they're going back to the original version of him creating his webbing chemically and using shooters as appose to it coming out of his body in the last set of films.

This. I'm glad they are finally sticking to the original spidey :)

I hope we can get a good look at Lizard before the movie comes out, and I mean the fully transformed lizard.

The Amazing Spiderman has changed some Spiderman Origins:

Three sources have told me this, but I held it. I didn't see the point in running it now, when the movie has been shot and edited and is ready to go. Nothing can be changed. But then the new trailer hits today and all but spells this out, so what the hell, here we go:

Spider-Man's origin has been changed in The Amazing Spider-Man. The spider bite no longer gives Peter powers, it rather activates something already in his genetic structure. Something placed there by his father. Peter Parker is no longer super-powered by chance, but rather by design.

This sounds like a possible plot point that could lead into the sequel.

Based on the videos we've seen, I'm sure you already have.

Yikes, not liking that humanoid head. :\ The only thing about this movie I'm not going to like.

Well, from what I remember his parents weren't normal in the comic books either. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong or something but I think they were spies? It's how it tied Spiderman into SHIELD and the whole Avengers stuff which, for some odd reason, they don't seem to want to do, or not yet anyways.

Hm... Not sure what I think of that. I don't understand why they would need to change something around like that honestly. Some things should just be left be.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about that either.

I seem to remember something like that as well. It wasn't the original intent I'm sure, but I think it was changed later on... I don't think they can tie this in to Avengers or anything so long as Sony has the rights to the property unfortunately though.

I wonder if we will be able to see Wolverine in the Avengers too.
