The third movie was quite awful. I can’t see a reboot being any worse.
E. Christopher Clark says:
Buj - I think, unfortunately, they’re never going to stop making ‘em. The company wants to retain the rights, and to do so they have to keep making Spider-Man movies every few years. That’s my understanding.
Shawn - That seems to be the prevailing opinion of the third movie, but I’ve always wondered what, specifically, was the problem with it. I mean, it certainly wasn’t as good as the second film, and it was a bit busy, but I didn’t hate it as much as everyone else seems to have.
