    That X Men reboot last year, it was a good film, good cast, but it kind of felt pointless at the same time. Had seen it all done before, the new ideas were too late, its noble to try and succeed in improving a decaying series but i just got a case of serious deja vu and im sitting there thinking this is good and has everything going for it, but why dont i care about this very much anymore?
    Why does this not excite me anymore? It did not seem fresh, original or new, im thinking this is better but i dont really care??? it was not different enough to warrant a reboot, I cant put my finger on it, i expect to be getting the same vibe with this...... the first X Men by Bryan Singer was far better than Spiderman ever was but still.....
    Does this really need reboot, im sure its probably better than the Spiderman 3 and more serious and subtle, but like the X Men reboot from last year it does not seem radically different enough to get overly excited about. Batman Begins on the other hand felt very, very different from Batman and Robin and it felt like there had been a sufficient gap between the two.

    Apart from the groundbreaking special effects , I never really liked the Spiderman series, infact the first one from 2002 is really, really bad, the second one had a brilliant villan but I never liked Tobey Maguire, the whole series felt very safe and boring, so it may be interesting to get a darker, less commercial, uncompromising, more experimental approach to the series too.
