User blog:ARTaylor/June 2015 Poll Results

Another month has come and gone, and the June poll results are in. Last month we asked how people felt about the recent announcement that an animated Spider-Man film would be made by the directoral duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.


 * 1) 61.5% of the voters were very excited. Last year the duo made the hugely successful The Lego Movie and have made hits like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (coincidentally featuring Spider-Man actor Neil Patrick Harris), 21 Jump Street, and its sequel 22 Jump Street. All of their movies have been successful while featuring plenty of humor and action, seemingly the perfect mix for the wallcrawler.
 * 2) 15.4% felt that the idea was good though not great, while the same amount worried about the number of Spider-Man films. In their recent deal with Marvel Studios, Sony announced that they would still be making their own live action films that would be separate from Marvel's. That means that there would already be two different live Spider-Man version. Part of this movie's announcement was that it would be made by Sony but separate from their live films. This means that it would be a third distinct theatrical version, which may be too much for regular audiences at once.
 * 3) 7.7% decided to take a wait-and-see attitude. Little about the movie has been announced besides the directors and lack of continuity with other features.
 * 4) Optimistically, no one seems to believe that the movie could do better. Whatever qualms about too many Spider-Men on the big screen, voters seem content with who is behind this version.
