Does anyone else agree that the new X-Men: First Class and The Amazing Spider-Man will be terrible?

I for one wish that they would have continued on with X-Men 4. Also, Spider-Man 4 was supposed to be the next Spider-Man but due to financial reasons, they decided on a reboot. I was hoping to see Dr. Connors as the Lizard in Spider-Man 4 as it was set up to be, including a revenge return of Venom.

Does anyone else hate the idea of starting over with Spider-Man, including the terrible cast for it?

Spiderman, I'm not sure. X-men looks to be the best "superhero" film this summer.

I know its called Amazing Spider-man, but I've heard it is more based on the Ultimate series, is that true? I hope so, I've just started them, but I really like it so far.

Honestly, I'm getting sick of these superhero movies. Too many are coming out. Then again, it's not like I have to watch them...

Nah...I just saw it tonight and I'm pretty sure Green Lantern and X-men will beat it. Captain America might be the worst one of all of them.

I thought X-men first class was still in the canon of the first few movies, just like X-men origins:wolverine was.

Spiderman on the otherhand is definitely a reboot. While I too would have preferred a Spiderman 4, I can understand why the studio decided to do a reboot(although I think its WAY too soon)

To me the new Spiderman looks wayyyy better. To be honest it looks more like Spiderman. I didn't really like the first 3 Spiderman movies and Spiderman is my favorite super hero.

No, I change my mind. I thought Thor was awesome. Thor trumps all.

I think the new Spiderman shows far more promise then anywhere the previous series was headed... I think First Class looks terrible though. It'll fit in nicely with the rest of the X-Men films, in other words.

Oh, and Andrew Garfield > Tobey Maguire

didn't like X-Men 3, and i hated on aspect of X-Men Origins

[spoiler] what the hell did they do to Deadpool [/spoiler]

Spider-Man 3 had it's good moments but it was way too cluttered with villains. and they screwed up Venom.

As far s First Class and the Spider-Man reboot go. I have more hope in Spider-Man.

Also. this year i'm only seeing 3 super hero movies in theaters. Thor (which was good, and i'm not even a fan of Thor), Green Lantern (second favorite DC hero, after Batman), and Captain America.

personally i'm most excited for Captain America, more so because i know roughly story they're doing for the movie, and it's one of my favorite stories about Captain America.

I cannot wait for Avengers, and Dark Knight Rises though.

First class bothers me because it's inaccurate. If they wanted to do it this way, don't call it first class, and maybe establish it as being separate from the first trilogy...i'm more bummed about the wolverine origin failed attempt though. and the Spider-Man reboot might be rad, instead of just trying to fix what they messed up in the original renditions, they have a free run of things.

I actually hate the avengers, no clue why. I like them separately (Iron man and Captain America more so than Thor) but together it bothers me...like the Justice League. Predetermined teams (like the X-Men and Fantastic four) are fine and for whatever reason I'm okay with Teen Titans and Young Justice.

well the way movie licenses work is that you gotta use a license within a certain time to keep it, spiderman license was about to run out for Sony so they decided instead of making 4 they were just going to reboot it.

i don't think he meant by year, he meant in general and i agree. we've had spiderman, thor, daredevil, x-men, wolverine, batman, superman, hulk, ironman, green lantern, ghost rider, cat woman, elektra and fantastic four movies in just past 5-8 years and most of them have all had multple sequels. if that's not overkill i don't know what is.

Superhero movies are cash cows. Hollywood would be insane not to milk them, even if that means ruining them.

And yes, I think most of them suck.

if you ask me they were ruined by the last movies that came out. Spider-Man 3 was horrid, and X-men:Origins, was a wad of crap.

X-Men First Class and The Amazing Spiderman already look like they are leagues ahead of the original trilogies (minus X2). The new cast is so much better than before, especially the new Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire is a joke, Andrew Garfield can actually act.

superhero movies are definetely having a major suck factor thsi year.. like show of hands who enjoyed thor? to me it seems like a pointless movie that should never have seen the light of day.. the script writer should be shot and the camera guys should be decimate for failure in their duty to get good shots..

i could do better with a big enough budget and a abdn of high school kids with camcorders!!!

Thor had potential. When I saw it the other night, at first I thought "Oh this could actually be pretty good" but they let all the potential go to waste. I think it's because they were too worried about tying to The Avengers movie that they just let a potentially good movie go to waste.

X-Men looks really good and that Garfield guy was the perfect choice for Peter Parker so i guess it cant be worst than the others Spider man movies and that horrible actor playing spider man.Spiderman 2 and 3 were garbage, im glad that they are reeboting and not doing a 4th one.

.. The new Xmen movie looks like it will do better then the past ones.. To be perfeclty frank looking back at it, the Xmen movies including Wolverines spin off were awful compared to the very good comic book movies out there..

Can't comment on the Spider-Man reboot, but First Class looks like a genuinely good movie, let alone superhero movie.
