Not much of a fan of any Spiderman, here, though ya I remember he had mechanical gadgets with web juice supply required, and the whiplash killing the girl is a neat detail which seems like a bad thing to re-do, even from a non-fan perspective.

The preview I saw seemed like it had elements that seemed new and unimproved to me. Particularly, I don't much care for the current style of CGI special effects. They seem rather fake and underwhelming. The physics and human reaction times and psychological reactions to violence seem way wrong, from what I've seen. I haven't seen either Spiderman film though, just trailers, so it's a preliminary guess.

Examples:

Bad physics/timing/psych impressions:
* Recent Hulk movie (trailers - saw enough though)
* Recent Pearl Harbor movie (real WW2 not "cool/heroic" enuff for someone??!?!?)
* Star Wars: Episode I & II
* Terminator 3
* Van Helsing (trailers - again, saw enough)

Good physics impressions:
* Superman II (not great, but better superhero physics, I thought)
* The Battle of Midway (late 70's film with real war footage)
* Star Wars: Episode IV
* Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
* Terminator 1 & 2
* Recent commercial where guy tries to swing like Spiderman and goes face first into a building.
