The camp/slapstick factor is in both of the first two "Spider-man" films as well, though. Actually, for that matter, it's in pretty much every movie that Sam Raimi has ever directed. I'm not saying you're wrong about it because it's definitely there, but if you had a problem with it in "Spider-man 3," I'm not sure why you didn't mind it in the original "Spider-man" and "Spider-man 2." I also didn't like that they changed the story about who killed Uncle Ben, but I was willing to go along with that because it at least made sense in the context of the story they were trying to tell. But the part with Venom was obviously an after-thought. To me, it was the worst part of the movie. It just seemed "tacked-on." And it isn't really until Venom shows up that the movie really begins to venture into "Batman Forever" territory.
I agree with you though that it's ridiculous that they want to reboot the franchise this early. IMO, they're only doing this because they wanted a director who wouldn't mind taking even more notes from the studio. I mean, "Spider-Man 4" was already in pre-production with all of the regulars (including Raimi) coming back, when they pulled the plug on it. Raimi had been very vocal in interviews leading up to it's cancellation that if he directed "Spider-man 4," he wanted to do it his way again. The director they ended up going with, Mar Webb, only has one movie under his belt at this point, so he is largely untested.
If they had to do a reboot, it's a shame Marvel Studios couldn't get the rights back for "Spider-man," they're the only studio that I currently have any faith in any more, when it comes to doing movies based on Marvel comics.

I realize camp was a part of all the films and raimi in general,evil dead triology is amazing.But the third one was overboard and really cheesey.But spider man doesnt need camp to be entertaining,humour yes,but camp,nah,this isnt the 60s.

New rumor:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play the Riddler? Hollywood Life reports that while working on the film Inception with director Christopher Nolan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt mentioned that he'd love to audition for The Riddler in Batman 3.
Apparently, this sort of talk continued and the site now says that Levitt is being considered by Nolan for the part.
"Chris really dug Joseph [as an actor]," a source close to the director stated. "There was a joke at first between them [on the set of Inception] that Joseph wanted to read for Batman 3 and things heated up as filming continued."
This unnamed source then went on to say:
"It's not 100% confirmed that he's getting [the role of The Riddler] but there's certainly talk about it. Joseph is definitely on the short list."
David S. Goyer is presently hard at work writing the screenplay for the next installment in the Batman saga.
Batman 3 comes to theaters July 20th, 2012
