The Spider-Man Reboot Gets a Name

Not exactly video-game related, but... the new Spider-Man movie just got a name.  It shall now be officially known as... *drumroll*:

The Amazing Spider-Man



And that's the man in tights himself, Andrew Garfield.  This is all kind of strange to me because I heard rumors the movie was a spin on the Ultimate Spider-Man universe; the fact that the movie places Peter Parker in high school, along with Garfield's lean/skinny physique, definitely gave these rumors credit.  But... Amazing?  Really?  Well, at least this way if the movie is bad it won't be a reflection on the amazing (no pun intended) Ultimate Spider-Man comic book series.  Well, I would have rather had Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi back for Spider-Man 4, but I'll definitely be watching this when it hits theaters, which is said to be on July 3, 2012.  Look out for the inevitable video game adaptation as well; hopefully it will be better than some of the more recent Spider-Man games.
