Either way, I think it was worth doing, if only to make us forget the unintentional horror that was Spider-Man 3.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870545005924820667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022261962330314498.post-49432201471465215032012-07-17T22:05:41.962+01:002012-07-17T22:05:41.962+01:00Totally unnecessary re-boot, but it was still very...Totally unnecessary re-boot, but it was still very fun and entertaining. Also, Garfield was a nice choice for Peter Parker even if I do miss Tobey Maguire just a tad bit. Just a tad, though.

But I agree that there should have been more of the "Photogapher Parker" in the mix.<br /><br />I do hope they make a move to hint at the bigger Marvel universe - The Avengers could use a smart-mouthed kid in their mix.....Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870545005924820667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022261962330314498.post-47553841082557081162012-07-16T13:05:44.015+01:002012-07-16T13:05:44.015+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870545005924820667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022261962330314498.post-64669435823030633992012-07-16T12:18:37.351+01:002012-07-16T12:18:37.351+01:00Good review there Neil, completely agree with you ...Good review there Neil, completely agree with you on a lot of points except when it comes down to the Peter Parker question. <br /><br />Garfield embodies Spiderman when he dons the mask and throws out the quips, but as a teenage angst Peter Parker I just preferred the way Toby Maguire portrayed the role. <br /><br />Parker is supposed to be the geek, wandering around with his glasses and camera... Not some border line emo on a skateboard. I can accept that this is a Peter Parker for 2012, and he is more in line with the universe that The Avengers have created, but don't pitch this as a story that is inbetween the original trilogy just say what it is and call it a straight up reboot.<br /><br />Sony are clearly trying to follow the winning formula that Marvel has used, and that includes the mid credits scene... But this was incredibly lack luster in comparison, with no Easter Eggs for the fans just a lame attempt at linking back to the original trilogy. Moving forward though I hope that they attempt to reach an agreement with other studios so we can see the crossovers we all want to see!!Ty J Knowlesnoreply@blogger.com
