In response to "If new origin story = reboot, then Transformers is definitely a reboot." by Inigo

eff em, I'm glad to see their reboot come up short.

Batman Begins was 17 years past the Burton series start; one that truly didn't tell an awesome origin story. And 8yrs past the garbage that was Bats4.

James Bond, for all we want to say, no one buys them as a reboot anymore; we've seen 6 actors in the role over 40 years....they might have told an origin story but at it's heart, the most important aspect was that Bond went back to being less a cartoon and more an action/spy movie concept like it had been for 40 years. I'd consider that less a reboot than #20 in a series that has had to have changeover.

while I love Craig in the role, I still say that Bond should have gone period and been set back to the 60s. -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:09 2

  - you have to give this to me. I have been saying it for 20 years and it's a bone I can't let go of. - zork Jul 8, 13:31
A local movie reviewer (and former BOP) said that Sony was contractually obligated to make a Spidey movie or lose the rights. Is this true? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:04 6
- yes. -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 14:57
- Is that Collier? - David Jul 8, 13:13 3
  - Yeeh, that's who I heard it from. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:20 2
    - He's a funny dude. I think the larger point for Spider-Man is that the movies earned $2.5 billion and Sony wanted more revenue. -- nm - David Jul 8, 13:22 1
      - I enjoy his stuff. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:38
- The rights would have reverted back to marvel (hence Disney) -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 13:10
Yeah, I think Spidey's biggest problem is that this reboot is exactly the same as the movie we saw in 2002. - Inigo Jul 8, 12:31
