Yeah, I can understand. It's like they're jumping on the "reboot" bandwagon because the reboot of Star Trek did so well. Never mind that every other reboot except for Batman has flopped.
I understand Spiderman 3 wasn't terribly good, but that's hardly a reason to scrap Spiderman 4 and start over. I mean, Batman went through a director change and three different actors playing Batman before whomever was ultimately in charge said ENOUGH. Of course, Batman and Robin was so awful that it effectively killed the franchise, so the only alternatives were to let it lie, or reboot. And the reboot didn't happen for a decade.
By the by, I watched Terminator: Salvation the other day, and it was BORING AS HELL. I don't think they should reboot, though. I think they should just let it lie.
