Personally, I view Sony's reboot of Spider-Man as a cheap act to maintain their rights to the franchise. I think now would be a good time for Marvel Studios to regain their properties and distribute them to whomever they want, even if it means going straight to Disney or Touchstone. What do you think?????
 
P.S. LOGAN LERMAN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is 
they should hand it over to marvel and paramount so they could tie him in with the rest of the marvel heroes

I don't know if it's a cheap act to maintain their rights to the franchise but I do agree that Marvel should be doing everything they can to get the rights back to their film properties

letting him go to paramount wouldn't do any good since disney is take it all after avengers

I'm not sure that Sony's Spider-Man reboot is a "cheap-act"...at least monetarily.  Isn't the real reason for the reboot the success of The Dark Knight? That's not the film that Sam Ramni was making (the dark, edgy, psychological film), and that HAS to be the film executives want. 
And, don't forget...it's not like Marvel HAS to take away the film rights. Spider-Man 3, for all of it's negative reviews, is the second highest grossing super hero movie of all time....after the Dark Knight. Perhaps it's just a stylistic switch that takes Spider-Man 4 to the top.
Or maybe it destroys Spider-Man's commercial viability. 
Either way, it will be interesting to see how it all goes down.

Well, just imagine you're in charge of Sony Pictures. Would you just give up the rights to a franchise that has made you several billion bucketloads of money? Sure, Marvel might be able to make a better movie, but Sony is a business. They wouldn't give up the rights to such an insanely successful franchise, that would be a ridiculously stupid move. 
 
And despite the fact that all of us here think Marvel would do a better job... We're all going to go and see the movie, which will give Sony more money and ensure they make another movie and keep the rights. And the cycle will continue until they reboot it again.

Marvel would do the film justice... I think.

Spider-man's a cash co for sony.
Ofcourse they're gonna try to hang on to him.
The last movie sucked bad so they're goin' for a reboot.
We're just gonna have to deal with it.

Precisely my point, but you summed it up better :P 
 
I don't think it was because the movie sucked, though, it was that Raimi couldn't pick a script to use for number four and was taking too long getting it all ready. To keep the rights, Sony have to keep making movies. The quickest and easiest solution was just to reboot.

Because people like to make money? The only reason Sony still have the rights and are making a reboot is because they made lots of money. If you watched Spider-man 3, or bought the DVD, it's your fault they still have the rights. We have no-one to blame but ourselves, cause we're the ones who paid them the money to make this reboot.    

I dont think im going to see spiderman because i really want it to go to marvel so there could be a New Avengers movie with spiderman. And hopefully wolverine would be part of marvel by then. But that wont happen till 2030 at least.
