Oh My God...what was that?
OK, we gotit Hollywood. It's final. No more adult super-heroes (except batman,and some x-men maybe), no more serious plots, no more sci-fi movies to entertain people over 18-20 years old. Age groups below 18 prevail and the sooner we admit it, the less money we will spend in fancy Twilight-ish garbages like this.
There must be something like a disease upon all producers - script writers - directors. The "Money from Nothing" syndrome. Since there isn't any new idea for a sci-fi blockbuster around, what they do? They remake the remakes of the remakes. And they call it "Reboot".
And now they do it the "Twilight" way.
For those (is there any?) who don't know, Twilight is an updated Beverly Hills 90210 spoof for little children and early teenagers, where vampires look pretty, beautiful and amazing, clean and shiny, to the extend that make you wanna be a vampire instead of a human. Oh, and they dress like top models.

After "rebooting" (= making money by "executing" the original idea) Star Wars (Phantom Money - sorry George, Menace, and the other two parodies), Star Trek (you know, that one with that coxcomb spoiled boy pretending to be Kirk),and Alien (quiz: is there anyone who remembers anything from script-less Poop-etheus?), - after shamelessly destroying comic heroes like the Avengers (Cowboys-like superheroes running here & there for actually no reason), Captain - baby-face - America, Thor (yes, that wrestling figure pretending to be ancient God)and numerous others, twilight-spidey had to be next, only 10 years after his previous (and absolutely better) remake.

Either sci-fi show-biz is now run by teenagers, either is run by dotard old idiots with Alzheimer's. There can't be any other explanation for this unbelievable mess.
Helloooooo producers and filmmakers, I have news for you: in case you haven't noticed, old sci-fi products like Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien(s), 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, even Matrix etc are STILL best sellers on DVD/BR, and people still go to theaters to watch any new (3D,etc) version. And YOU KNOW WHY? It's not just the new ideas or scripts, or their director's talent....it's because even if they weren't, THEY WERE LOOKING serious! They had P-L-O-T-S, and they were addressing adult people as well.
And in case you forget, they brought MONEY, lot of MONEY to whoever invested on them, if this is more convincing for you!! But I guess you know. But you don't care. If you can make money out of "Amazing" garbages like this, why bother to make a good movie? It's like they've decided that, regarding sci-fi cinema, the only valuable target group are only kids. What about the others? Well, they can buy comics or watch older sci-fi movies at home. Period.
The Myth: As we grow older, is getting more and more difficult for us to "buy" sci-fi, so we become more critic and suspicious.
The Truth behind the Myth: As we grow older, it's getting easier for us to recognize pure, money oriented garbage from honest inspirational sci-fi attempts.
Advice: If you really want to watch "The Amazing Spiderman", be smart and go buy a comic instead of throwing your money for this cheap silly nonsense.
Unless of course if you are 8 years old.
