It would be really interesting to see a really character driven Spiderman with minimal action/set pieces. Sort of Batman Begins rather than TDK. Perhaps that is the direction they are going.

I think both of those movies had huge set pieces and great character driven stories. If Sony can approad Spider-Man from that sort of angle it would be amazing. A solid focus on building character and building a strong narrative that stretched three films with badass setpieces to seal the deal.

Ya I should get back to the Reelist but it seem like nobody has been writing for it.
Hey, it's me! Mr. Nobody!

Don't worry I get that a lot. I show up at places and hang around for an hour and people are like "I didn't know you were here." Yep, that's me. Mr. Nobody, standing in the corner pretending to be a plastic tree.

How could you ever stand the artificiality of a plastic tree?

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt might be my favourite working actor. He is so awesome.

And new villains.

There's only one way to make a great Spider Man film. Get a good writer/director, give it a hard R, make it at least 3 hours, and have Carnage and Mysterio be the villains. However, that won't make money, so they will continue to make good to bad to decent films with the franchise probably.

There is no reason Spidey needs an R rating. No reason at all. You're talking out of your ass FLY. Amazing accomplishment, but not a nice sight to see.

Yeah, and there's no reason it needs a PG 13 rating, or a PG rating, or a G rating, or an NC-17 rating. Financially, sure, but if these types of films are to be taken seriously they should get R ratings, otherwise they will continue to be comic book films and carry all the connotations that such a label brings. Just like with Batman, if they want to integrate the best villains while still remaining faithful to the source material, much of which is pretty great, the R rating allows that, but it isolates audiences. They want to make a great film, they would benefit most from an R rating. They want to make a film that can be good, maybe, and make a good deal of money, then I guess go PG-13 until the franchise wanders into mediocrity.

Nobody jumped to JoGoLev as Spidey? I guess he's got GI Joe, but let's hope that doesn't get a sequel any time soon.

Now Spidey's dance sequences will have animated birds and full on Broadway choreography!

The comics don't have anything that goes beyond a PG-13, why should the movie?
