An Amazing Title...

Do, do, do, do, do, do...



Sorry for the lateness in the news guys...

Spent this lovely weekend in San Diego, flipped on my Mac to find this. So Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures has come out with the official title of "Spider-Man 4" and it's a shocker.

"The Amazing Spider-Man"

That is brilliant. Really, it is. Although I thought since this is based on "Ultimate Spider-Man," that they might call it that. I'm very happy it doesn't have a number behind it. I've always considered having just a number to be boring and unimaginative. Did the sequel to "Iron Man" have to be "Iron Man 2" instead of something like "Invincible Iron Man" possibly?

Ironically, DC lately has done a much better job than Marvel with titles. "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight," and the upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel." Although I'd leave off the Superman and just call it Man of Steel.

I guess it makes since though, considering if they had called it "Spidey 4" then people would have wondered why we were rehashing the origin again. This gives them an excuse to go back and hit the reboot button.

Now we can look forward to the sequel "Spectacular Spider-Man" and then "Ultimate Spider-Man" I guess...

I like the title. Kind of reminds me of the 1960s animated series which first introduced Spidey to me.

Still secretly hoping on a Spider-man And His Amazing Friends live-action movie with Iceman and Firestar; really loved that series as a kid!

I don't think the title is that amazing... I'm not entirely interested in the Spider-Man reboot anyway. I wouldn't have minded seeing a follow-up to the original trilogy, but to just reboot it completely discourages me.

If it is based on the Ultimates it shouldn't be called Amazing. This is a cop-out title like The Incredible Hulk.

"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man" was my pick.

:(

So this news sucks.

I would have preferred "Ultimate Spider-Man" too. But I guess they're saving it for last, since "ultimate" sounds appropriate for a final film.
