Well ok folks here's the central question I ask you. Is it to soon for a reboot of this franchise? Did I want Spidey 4 with Raimi, Maguire, and the gang? Sure, just as long as it was better then Spidey 3. Emo Peter Parker was just to much for this movie fan/nerd to handle. Marc Webb said "It's a different universe and a different story with different characters". Well it felt just like the old one's. Is that a bad thing? Well not really, it just felt like a good Spider Man movie. It didn't in it's completion become a "different universe" as quoted earlier. The wheel wasn't reinvented in the making of this movie. That's just fine by me and should be fine to all those who love the Marvel universe.
The casting of the movie for the most part was great. Andrew Garfield did a fantastic job as Peter Parker and although at times some of Spideys lines were a bit over dramatic I didn't mind. Yes his love interest has changed, now Gwen Stacey and that's fine no big deal either. What matters most is when Garfield/Parker finally puts on the costume he becomes something special, and it becomes a great ride. In the end isn't that why we go to these damn things?
So to answer the question I posed in the beginning of this review. Is it to soon for a reboot? No not at all! He's apart of pop culture and apart of ourselves, to deprive our children and there children of such wonderment would be in my eyes sacrilegious.
Spider Man holds a special place in my heart just like so many others. Regardless of him being a "super hero" he still seems to always be the underdog. Everyone can relate to that feeling at some point in time in there life. If they disagree with that then there lying. Never giving up and always trying to be a better person makes the human spirit what it is. It's what makes Spider Man so grounded in reality. He's a hero, everyone admires one. Everyones kid dreams of being one, and maybe if we all try hard enough we could all be one ourselves. That's what a hero does, he inspires.
