And sadly, the reboot looks like it might actually be good.

It would have been a good film if Sony hadn't decided to shoehorn Vemon and the Black Suit into the movie a couple of months before filming. I still say that Sandman was FAR more interesting in this movie than in any other Spidey medium to date!

Except retconning is stupid and annoying, and it shallowed the origin story. No, I agree. The fact that he killed Ben was stupid, but I like the rest of his story. Plus, am I the only one whose noticed that both Gobby and Ock in 1 and 2 could not stop talking to themselves?

If it's not too late to suggest a different title for the reboot, I like "THE Spider-Man". I dunno. Seems right.
Turn Off the Dark doesn't look half bad. Although I have to admit that the new villain (Swiss Miss) is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid.
But everything else is pretty cool. There's already a plot summary on Wikipedia.

Plot Synopsis I found on Wikipedia:
Act I
Mary Jane Watson, the next door neighbor of local teenager Peter Parker, is dangling from a New York City bridge and drops as Spider-Man desperately bounds toward her. The scene changes as four nerdy teenagers, the "Geek" chorus, crafting fan fiction, debate the origin of the Spider-Man story ("Splash Page"). The only female in the group, calling herself Miss Arrow—the others calling themselves Jimmy-6, Grim Hunter, and Professor Cobwell—mentions that the first time a human demonstrated arachnid characteristics was in the Greek myth of Arachne, the most gifted but conceited of weavers. Arachne's bragging angered the goddess Athena, who challenged her to a duel at the loom ("Behold and Wonder"). Arachne won, but Athena destroyed her work, leading Arachne to hang herself. Athena, though, took pity on her and, as Arachne hung dying, transformed her into the world's first spider, who would "live and weave forever". The teenagers then begin to narrate the well-known Spider-Man story, but they weave into the tale a new thread that updates the Arachne myth.
At Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School in Queens, New York, local teenager Peter Parker is not popular among his classmates who, like his ex-best friend Flash Thompson, take pleasure in bullying him ("Bullying by Numbers"). Mary Jane, his main love interest, and Peter both have unhappy home lives ("No More"). Peter is an orphan who has lived with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May ever since his parents Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane crash. Scientist Norman Osborn and his wife lead a tour of Osborn's lab for students visiting from Peter's high school ("D.I.Y. World"). As the students talk to Osborn, Peter is bitten by an escaped spider, who, it turns out, is genetically altered. The geek narrators, who have been watching all of this unfold, argue about why Peter was chosen to be bitten by the spider ("Bouncing Off the Walls").
Peter becomes aware of his new powers. He enters a wrestling match and adopts his first use of disguise, fighting "Bonesaw McGraw" and winning. In his triumph, he hurries home and ignores calls of help from Flash, whose car is being stolen. The car thief, however, runs down Uncle Ben, and Peter realizes he is powerless to save his dying uncle, leading to an emotional encounter with Peter's Aunt May. The mysterious Arachne, seeing the grieving Peter, gives him his well-known costume, officially making him "Spider-Man" ("Rise Above").
Peter swings throughout the city on his webs, fighting villains and saving civilians. Soon the Daily Bugle reporters start to ask, "Who is Spider-Man?" Hearing of this, Norman Osborn wonders whether this new superhero has stolen his own secret research as he is pressured to move his current project forward by the military ("Pull the Trigger"), later contemplating this with his wife ("Picture This"). Experimenting on himself, Osborn accidentally kills his wife, soon going insane and becoming the "Green Goblin." Meanwhile, Peter gets a photojournalist job for the Daily Bugle, run by J. Jonah Jameson. Peter is briefly captured by the Green Goblin ("I'll Take Manhattan"). Upon his escape, Peter learns that Mary Jane is trapped on top of the Chrysler Building. He battles and defeats the Green Goblin, rescuing Mary Jane in the process.
Act II[/b]
The Geek chorus and a group of Manhattanites sing of Spider-Man's subsequent rise to fame ("Spider-Man Rising"). Spider-Man vanquishes the "Sinister Six," a new alliance of supervillains that includes Carnage, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, Swarm and Swiss Miss (a character invented by Miss Arrow, to the other geeks' dismay). After this, Arachne comes to Peter in a vision, beginning to confuse reality and illusion ("Turn Off the Dark").
Maligned by the media and suffering financial woes, Peter learns that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter wants to spend more time with Mary Jane, so he takes time off from fighting crime and the image of Spider-Man ("Walk Away"). However, Arachne reveals that Spider-Man is a product of her own design and that she must be free from a certain curse ("Think Again"). She spitefully manipulates Peter's mind into his envisioning the resurrection of the Green Goblin and the Sinister Six, who go on a killing and robbing spree set against the backdrop of Manhattan in flames ("Sinistereo"). The supervillains test not only Peter's physical strength during mid-air battles, but also challenge his strength of character. Peter is overwhelmed as Arachne and her Furies, spider-women accomplices, viciously bombard his imagination ("Deeply Furious").
Peter remains indecisive about whether he should resume his heroic acts as Spider-Man while Manhattan and his life fall into chaos. He impulsively proposes to Mary Jane and then breaks off their relationship. She explains to him her view of a true romantic relationship ("If the World Should End"), but is suddenly kidnapped by Arachne ("Boy Falls from the Sky"). As he watches Mary Jane fall to her doom from the Brooklyn Bridge, Peter finds that he has lost his superhero powers and cannot save her. Suddenly, he realizes that recent events were merely scenes from a dream elaborately constructed by Arachne in her effort to motivate him to return to his role as Spider-Man.
Now, with Mary Jane alive but in captivity, Arachne demands that Peter free her from her curse, which is revealed to have been caused by the interruption of her suicide attempt, thus leaving her eternally halfway between life and death. She claims that to do so, he must fight and kill her, or else she will kill Mary Jane ("Love Me or Kill Me"). Ultimately, when Peter finds himself unable to take Arachne's life, however, she commends him for not doing so and remarks that she is now free from the confines of immortality. She is pulled up by a noose, at last presumably achieving a satisfying death, as she ascends out of sight. Peter rescues Mary Jane and they reunite. Hearing sirens in the distance, Mary Jane, now knowing who Spider-Man is, tells Peter to "go get 'em, tiger!," Peter begins swinging high above ("Rise Above" [Reprise]).
