Spencerz pretty much said it all.

Incredible Hulk got away with it because it skipped over the origin story in the opening credits and moved on from there. But from what we've seen in the trailers, the new Spider-Man film is going to drag itself through the whole origin story yet again whilst replacing the villain (William Dafoe can't be beat as Goblin) and romantic interest (which is fair enough).

Tobey Maguire plays a good "Chapter 1" Peter Parker, but he's very much different to the Peter portrayed in the last several decades of Amazing Spider Man comics. I'd really like to see a decent movie about that version of Peter, but it's just not going to happen.

I was absolutely underwhelmed with Spider Man 3. I used to like Venom as one of Spidey's main villains, but the film along with Eddie Brock losing the symbiote (in the comics) has pretty much erased that. I have absolutely no interest in Gargan and Flash. And if I read one more American Football analogy used in the recent Venom comics, I'm going to drop it from my pull list.

The last trailer very closely resembled Mirror's Edge gameplay which doesn't help things.
