I've just thought this was a good article to open my mind about this spider-man reboot its been hard to soak it all in the direction there trying to go with this. Now an days comic book movies have been finding trouble in regard to keeping things to its source material but I wanna keep my head held high since Marvel is been on top of there game lately. SONY spider-man movies weren't all that bad it was actually good sure spider man 3 had a let down how great characters were treated poorly but we can start fresh now i hope Marc Webb and the script writers go in the Direction of The Spectacular Spider-Man (TV series)if you haven't seen it you should i enjoyed it and it felt like the next installments should use this as a concept for this reboot so hopefully later i can try my first Fan Fic to please you guys with the Amazing Spider-Man.



It's been a long, bumpy road, but Sony and director Marc Webb have finally selected an actor to play Spider-Man in the upcoming film reboot. Taking the reins from Tobey Maguire will be Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus). The reboot will bring Spidey back to the high school setting seen in the early years of comics like Amazing Spider-Man and currently featured in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Some fans might be feeling a little ambivalent on this change-up, not least of which because the 27-year-old Garfield will be playing a 15 or 16-year-old Peter Parker. But we don't think this shift is necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it might be just what the Spider-Man franchise needs. In this feature, we explore the reasons why high school is the perfect environment for Spidey, and how this new setting might boost the character both in and out of costume.
