No one was asking for another Raimi Spider-Man movie after SM3 either, hyuk hyuk. Raimi's Spidey movies suck and his fans have deluded themselves in to thinking they're masterpieces like Burton fans have deluded themselves in to thinking Burton's two Batman films were masterpieces. It's sad.

Only from the neck down. From the neck up, Reeve is a far better looking Superman, and I also believe Cavill won't give a performance worthy of Reeve's. Chris Reeves gave just the right performance for both Superman and Clark Kent. I haven't seen anything out of Cavill, not even in the Tudors, that makes me believe he can approach that. I certainly didn't find him impressive or convincing in the Immortals.

I won't disagree that Reeve gave an amazing performance, but I still think Cavill looks more like Supes than Reeve did.
None of this matters of course. This film will rest on Cavill's performance and Snyder's ability, and I'm not sure how much faith I have in either. If the film is good, it's probably because Nolan had more creative input/control than he let on. I'm just not sure Snyder is that capable. He's capable at slow motion. The trailers look pretty good though.

It was only terribly mediocre. I'd rather see a terrible movie like Uwe Boll's House of the Dead again then The Amazing Spider-man again because at least Boll's is interesting in that train wreck aspect and ASM is only interesting if you were a Spider-Man villain so that you could finally see him fail like a wet fart.

That movie was just not very interesting to me and felt pretty unnecessary. Garfield never sold me with his performance as Parker or Spidey. I didn't love Tobey Maguire either but he at least portrayed the geeky kid better I thought. Not to mention The Lizard looked like ass on screen. Seriously I don't think they could have made that character design less interesting. The only thing I really did like from The Amazing Spider-Man is I thought Emma Stone was good as Gwen.

If they gave us mad scientist Luthor, I'd love it. The closest we got to that is Superman IV. The other movies were mad real estate agent Luthor.
