Yeah, it's another oiirgn story. This goes back even further when Peter was a small boy. The problem here is that all of the Tobey Maguire films are still so fresh in everyone's mind that this new reboot is going to suffer a lot from the been there, done that' issues. Obviously, this is going to be a darker Spider-man film than Sam Raimi's and I don't think that is a bad thing. Andrew Garfield is ok as Peter Parker, but people need to understand he is going to be nothing like Maguire. This appears to be a more serious' film more dramatic. The 3D is going to be great though that's for sure.
