Great news!
I fucking loathed Raimi's crappy cgi, diabetic, mexican soap opera Spider-Man trilogy.
I'm glad he's off! And Maguire too, never liked him. For once they are rebooting something that clearly needs a reboot, a clean new fucking start, after three horrible films.

Let's hope for the best.

Woody Allen's SPIDERMAN:

"Doc, my friend Peter is crazy. He thinks he's a spider!"

"Why don't you turn him in?"

"I can't. I need the webs!"

About time they hand the franchise over to Spike Lee; he's a much better New York director than Sam Raimi.

Is Rachel McAdams allowed to be in the reboot, or is she still too good for Spider-Man? :)

She's probably too old now anyway.

Peter Parker should be a baby--a baby in high school. It's Juno meets Baby Geniuses.

Sony should hire me for a rewrite.

Reboot is the wrong way. Can't they just re-cast and continue, James Bond style.

Good– I never liked Maguire or Dunst anyway, for either role, and Spiderman 3 sucked big time. It was such a shame such a good story had to devolve into that silly mess.

This is definitely good news for fans of good cinema, and er, Spider-Man.

Spider-Man 1 was half of a good movie with the second hour getting increasingly cheesy and dumb (C+). Spider-Man 2 was pretty good all the way through, though sort of maudlin (B). And Spider-Man 3 was a complete mess start to finish (D—).

That's a C/C- average for what should be a killer franchise.

I never liked Kirsten Dunst in this, either.

They should wait 5 years and start over without overdoing the "origin" part.

I hope they dont reboot it back to an origin piece, we dont need to see how peter parker becomes spidey again!

i suspect spiderman 4 will be very much akin to x-men origins: wolverine - i.e shit

I think its good news, it free's up Sam Raimi to go off and make some more interesting movies once more, and that cant be a bad thing, i for one liked drag me to hell.

Wow. But it's probably for the best, what with all the problems that they were having with the script.
