I think it'll fail, but part of me really wants it too so Marvel can just get the rights back. I'm sure some people hate what they've done with the MCU but I'm loving every bit off it, (besides some continuity Ed Norton & Terrance Howard.) so I would love to see Marvels take on Spider-man in a few years even though I really enjoyed Spider-man 1 & 2.

This. BUT NOW THE NEW TRAILER IS ADDRESSING ITEMS 1, 2, and 4 on my OP! Those were the biggest problems with the movie! Basically, we see the Lizard fire off a canister charge that detonates in the sky and we see him releasing green gas -- so most likely, similar to the 'Shed' arc, the populace will become reptilian, so there will be plenty of threats around to overwhelm him. Now number 5, the Captain Stacy problem shrinks because we'll probably mostly have reaction shots of the police dealing with widespread reptilianization, and Spider-Man saving the day gradually winning him over.  
And now the way he moves in the Spider Suit (when it's not a stuntman or effect) looks for the first time like there's a teenager in there! It makes the... unique design appropriate and even appealing.Still not big on the Lizard make-up, but there were awesome movements and poses by Spider-Man that we haven't yet seen. 

I'd still love to see the Spider Franchise in Marvel's hands but if they keep addressing my objections like this we could be at the beginning of something awesome since I've liked the actors from the beginning! Fingers crossed... 
                    
here's the link to the trailer: Apple trailers

Problem is we've seen he's origin. How can it be "untold"? "Untold" just translates to "reboot to crap out of it". Marc Webb did a great job with 500 days of Summer, but Spider-Man ain't no romantic comedy. In some regards yes, but they're doing a weird adaption when Gwen actually knows he's spider-man.

@spiderbat87: Dude, we're just forming an opinion on what we've seen...The cast looks solid but the people working on behind the scenes don't don't inspire much hope. The project seems just too big for them in some aspects. It's just it's so soon to have a reboot in some regards.

This movie is going to be the next X-Men: First Class.

No, this movie won't suck.

i dont think this movies going to suck. as a die hard spidey fan, its hard for me to not like it when i see him on the big screen regardless.

but lets wait til it comes out hm? also, lab coat was in the preview so theres that

As in good but not great? Because that's how I felt towards First Class.

Personally, I see this film being completely overshadowed by Dark Knight Rises considering how close they are between releases. It's also going to be dominated at the box office by both Avengers and DKR's. I have a feeling it's going to good but nothing impressive, yet I hope my expectations are exceeded.

@Deranged Midget: By that I mean it will be better than all the films in the franchise so far, but still not the best thing ever. Also in the fact that this movie's obviously going to set itself apart from the Spider-Man origin story we've always known (which I don't have a problem with, providing that it's actually well-written).

I remember people saying First Class would suck, too. Give it a chance, at least.

@spiderbat87: Mark Webb said that this will be something different than what we've seen in regards to the origin. Basic spider bite is there, but it looks like a lot more will be tweaked.

@spiderbat87: Well yeah, there's that, but I know there'll be more to it. To tell you the truth, I think that either Uncle Ben will survive this movie or he'll die under very different circumstances. But that's just me. We won't find out till July, though, so..... yeah.

@spiderbat87: Yes, they were SHIELD agents, but there was never any real conspiracy. They just died in action. Nothing more, nothing less. What I'm saying is only a hunch. We won't know till we see it.

@spiderbat87: I wasn't aware that that kind of footage was leaked.

@spiderbat87: I wasn't aware that that kind of footage was leaked.

@spiderbat87: I think that's how it happened in Ultimate Spider-Man. Minus the part about them being affiliated with SHIELD.

why is it that some guy posting negative stuff about something no one's even seen yet gets so many comments?

I made this prediction the moment they announced the cast.

Hopefully but I doubt it.

It'll be good. Calm down, haters.

@Gambit1024: I can agree with that.

Admittedly it looks a bit emoey and dare I say Twilighty. But a more sarcastic Spidey coupled with web shooters, the setting being in high school, the Gwen Stacy romance and Captain Stacy organizing a manhunt for Spider-Man compensates for the aforementioned suspicions. It should be good. It better be good! (Shakes fist at Sony)

Protogoblin is still just a rumor he isn't not confirmed. Also supposedly they tweaked Lizards powers into transforming people into Lizard Men. So there is a substantial Threat.

holy sh!t !!! someone on CV can see the future!!! quick tell me the loto numbers!!!

I actualy think it wil be decent. The trailer was good. I will say I dont like the look of the lizard. The movie doesnt look good or bad to me, it jut looks ok.

Point 3

I will probably watch it either way

@BillyBatson and @TheCannon: We're agreed. And so awesome.
@Deranged Midget, Lvenger: Lol, I'll shake my fist, too, and say it better be good! 
@desmond006: agree, the Lizard face is too Star Trek: The Next Generation for me! Put him in a red shirt and he could beam down with the crew...   
@KainScion: Yes, but I threw the winning lotto ticket away! Someone fished it out of the trash and cashed it in!! WHY...?!
@htb106, @Andy Steven Summers: By now you can probably tell this is all in good fun. I, like @Obtrusive will see it, I just was livid after the S-M3 experience to see Spidey photos where his costume looked like it was made of spray-painted dodgeballs, the Lizard's face not even as cool as Bossk from Empire Strikes Back almost 3 decades ago, and word that Proto Goblin was going to be in it! That's why the title is so inflammatory, sorry, but I was retraumatized back in those dark days. News related to the movie has been much improved since then; I hope like you it works well: I am a huge Spidey fan from McFarlane's days. 

It's been gettin' good reviews so far though.

Just sayin'.....

I think you guys are both right - in the trailer, Doctor Connors says, "Do you think what happened to you, Peter, was an accident? Do you have any idea what you really are?" And in that one shot during the trailer of Peter's father wiping the board it reads, ""Delivery Agent: Arachnid Genome" and there's a spider under glass. It seems to be alluding to Peter's powers not being entirely accidental! (this I learned from yahoo news)
I don't think Webb is crazy enough to say that Peter's Dad genetically engineered a spider and intended to have it bite his son -- I'm guessing "...was an accident?" refers to the creation of the spider - that it was a deliberate experiment. I'll bet the writer can't resist also revealing that Peter's Dad wanted to be a test subject for this experiment, but who knows...

So you're both right -- something about the origin will be different and Webb will be protective of Uncle Ben.

At a guess i'd say they where going the way of Ultimate Spider-man. When Parker and Brock created Venom Richard Parker used his own DNA in its creation so he could test it. In this it could be the same deal except with the Spider. Thus leading to its compatibility with Pete. Hopefully the movie will be good. Preferred the classic version but heck everything changes.

Here's the trailer to see for yourself:

That wasn't Doctor Connors. That was Irrfan Khan, or Dr. Ratha. Oh, and the bite is still accidental and yada-yada... His father simply worked on the spiders. If you paid attention to the viral marketing -or any attention at all- you would know that his father was heavily against human testing. I believe that that will be the reason Richard Parker is taken out, because he didn't want to comply with Oscorp. Which... would actually make a good story for the sequel too, and set up the Green Goblin well. Regardless, the film has opened to positive reviews and the Twitter reactions are... well, amazing.

One bad review.

That is all.

I of course was not saying that the Father wanted to test it on people, just that this was not accidental in the way the 616 origin was with radiation, etc. We have to have a genetically-engineered spider as the other origin doesn't really fly anymore.

Just hope people dampen their expectations a bit... Word is the movie does VERY well with relationships, but the costume isn't donned for a LONG time. Also, that the Lizard isn't well realized and the final battle is not that great. Again, though, part of the problem is inherent to doing another origin story -- Uncle Ben, spider bite, finding powers, creating the costume, etc. By the time the old elements are on screen, there isn't much time for the new. I still will enjoy this part because I really liked Peter's creation of the web shooters in the comics and disliked the organic webbing, but tolerated it.

However, as I said before, I am far more excited now because several of the objections I put in the OP have been dealt with: no Proto Goblin (right?), "Shed"-like creation of lots of lizard people, Andrew acts in costume much more like a teen than ever before, real-life chemistry between Andrew and Emma as they are dating...

If we view the movie more as relationship flick than a Superhero movie, we may enjoy it more, especially as a reboot start to great movies (and villains) to come.

Still think of what could have been: @InnerVenom123 had a great idea for villains -- Crime-Master and Jack O' Lantern!

@Cervantes: LOLOL, I meant them for a Venom movie, not for ASM. :P

I'm going to thoroughly enjoy it. Its Spidey after all, I freggin' love Spidey.

@InnerVenom123 said:

What do you think the probabilities of that are?

Who would you prefer from the following people as Venom:

Mac Gargan or Mac Gargan.

(In all Seriousness, Flash or Eddie? )

@Reality: In a movie, which we're obviously talking about, Flash.

I'd love to see what they could do with Agent Venom in a movie.

I -- while not a Venom fan to such an extent -- completely agree. I think that it makes it easier (Flash is a good guy, or at least more of one) and the potential for that movie is astounding.

...Sigh.

We'd need an introduction in ASM2 to Venom w/ Brock/Gargan using it and then him either making a cameo at the end of it or appearing in ASM3.

Here's to hope.

@InnerVenom123@Reality:

Heh heh, I know InV, but they could make a Spidey movie great, too, so I couldn't resist! This is my point about this film: Spidey's best villains have ranged weapons or maneuverability -- mob villains can shoot him, so he has to dodge their bullets; Green Goblin flies above him and has pumpkin bombs and razor bats to hit him at a distance; Dr. Octopus can climb right after Spider-Man, throw cars at him, grapple him with metal arms while the doc himself inks out a sudoku page. Heck, even the Vulture can at least fly. But Rhino and the Lizard can only lumber after someone in a rage. Even having much of the city turn into lizards presents problems -- how do you create a were lizard compound that works when you inhale?!

My two favorites for a movie who have never been used are Will O' The Wisp (but just call him by name, WOTW is hokey) and the modern Mysterio (only more like the Masked Magician of TV turned criminal) who would be more sophisticated enemies and be realized perfectly with modern CGI.

Dude, weren't lying. You are on a Destiny level of precog. That movie was terrible. Worst end credits scene in history.
