Apparently Jamie Vanderbilt, who wrote the script, is also writing the script for Spider-Man 4. Which is now an entire series reboot. I don’t think anyone will take it as a particularly controversial statement that I hated Spider-Man 3, which was overcrowded with villains, characterized by a weirdly soggy performance by Tobey Maguire, and stuffed with CGI that dated extremely badly. (Spencer Ackerman brings the noise on the whole triology.) So I’m honestly not sure I mind a reboot of the franchise. But I’m just not sure how quickly series like these can turn around. Are people sufficiently sedated by the idea of superhero movies that they’ll just…go?
