I'd have been an animal ages ago.
I was playing some music on an ipod dock while decorating the other week, and when some Jerry Goldsmith came on (Chinatown, as it happens) Mrs TG remarked that she liked it. You can have her, if you want - and if it saves you from becoming a sloth, tapir, xebu or whatever. 
(Actually, you can't, sorry, that was a joke. I'd miss her.)

Whats a stripper with a heart of gold? Did she give free lap dances?
Fool's gold.

Okay, a) Spider-Man has more villains than the damned Goblin and b) at least get it right this time.
But honestly, I'm kinda sick of the same villains. And if they go for yet another origin story, I'm out.

Spiderman doesn't exactly have the best rogues gallery, but how the heck is it that they never use Kraven? He seems like a natural choice for the big screen.
I actually thought he had a fine Rogue's Gallery. The Chameleon, the Sandman, Doc Ock, the Vulture, the Lizard, Kraven, the Enforcers, Electro, Mysterio, the Molten Man and the Green Goblin were all created in the first couple of years by Lee and Ditko. Then we got the Rhino, the Kingpin, the Shocker and later the Jackal and so on... Spider-Man was arguably the most creatively successful of the Marvel line upon inception. Each new villain was a success. None of the other Marvel titles could say that at the time.
Add Venom (overrated but still a fan favorite), Carnage, Morlun, Dr. Smythe and the Spider Slayers, Carrion, Tarantula, Hammerhead and still others and you've got fodder for a plethora of films. Hell, they could do the Clone Saga.

The first trilogy ended disastrously because the studio (as in "that one guy") was adamant about Venom being shoehorned into an already scripted film. Venom is the kind of antagonist (as with Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Kraven, etc.) who requires an entire film.
They should have just done a movie centered around Venom, and, for the fourth movie, adapted the excellent Ned Leeds/Hobgoblin storyline, and they could have included The Rose (for the unitiated, it's a "he," not a "she") with no problems whatsoever. That would have made an incredible movie.
If we ever get to see Kraven and Hobgoblin, I'll be surprised. Fingers crossed for Black Cat...

Well, the problem is, I never liked those villains. I've only enjoyed a handful of Spiderman's core gallery (Doc Ock, Kraven, Goblin, and maybe Venom depending on how he is used). So it's a matter of preference for me.

I totally agree. The film-going public pretty much know how Spidey got his powers now, we don't need to see it for a third time. Just get on with the movie for goodness sake. And please God can they get the casting right this time. Andrew Garfield was dreadful as Spidey and even worse as Parker, although to be fair I hated both of Webb's movies anyway.
I'm a big Spidey fan but I can't believe the movies by and large have been so average. Rami's first one wasn't bad but the Goblin was terrible (Willem DeFoe was however great in the role) and the FX were pretty poor, Spidey 2 nailed it perfectly, Spidey 3 had its moments but was pretty poor in parts and the two Webb movies have been bland. They just can't seem to get the movies right any more the same way nobody seems to be able to do a decent Superman movie (Man of Steel had a bland lead actor, a dull story and the action was awful and don't even get me started on Superman Returns, an irredeemably dire movie).

Hated the casting for the reboot. (though I never saw either film) Other than Spidey (and Superman) they hire big names for all the parts regardless if they fit the look or the personality of the characters. Sort of the way animation has gone. They used to hire the right voice actor for the part, but over the last 20 years they hire big name stars regardless if the voice fits.
As far as the original Spidey films, the first one was probably the best. Hated the second one because of it's erratic tone from dead serious to Monty Python humor. Despite it's flaws I thought the third film was pretty good, realizing of course there were to many villains and a ridiculous plot.
