I mean it is like 10 years too late. If they had released circa 06 to 08 they'd be at the peak of the game hype and it would actually gain some solid momentum.

I expect this to get panned largely in the US but I could see the Asian markets just devouring this.

I just don't trust anything that's been passed through so many hands. It hasn't been made for years and years for a reason, so I really don't expect much.

Totally agree. If they had made it back when Raimi was still on board it would have more of a chance stateside since he still had the Spiderman reputation going for him and it was still closer to peak subscriber count.

Edit. In the passing down defense I can see why people would be leary to touch it. It's fantasy that isn't lord of the Rings so it has that going against it. Then it's based on a video game which while that does have a solid built in market the history of video game movies is pretty bleak just look at the shit wreck that passes for Resident Evil now.
