The "Untold Story" of Spider-Man Points to Daddy Issues?

I think I know why many are against The Amazing Spider-Man.

Sony, Marvel and the filmmakers here are telling the generation of movie-goers who made Spider-Man such a genre-defining hit they're old and out of touch. Now it’s time for the hip, young, new kids to tell you what’s what on the web-slinger. Saddled with the fact that by the time Marc Webb's reboot drops this July, it will have been ten years since Sam Raimi made us believe Tobey Maguire could swing from organic web-shooters.

Then there's that "Untold story" crap that ruined an otherwise cool one-sheet. That goes back to why many in both the nerd and non-nerd sectors view retreading this soon (Once again, it's the age thing. 10 years is a long time but for many of us it feels like it was only yesterday!) as pointless and how different can one really make Spidey's origin?

Time of India (via Screen Rant) has what purports to be the official plot synopsis:

"The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets.

As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero."

Not to be that guy but the story of Peter's lack of a father (only to discover he had one his whole life in Uncle Ben) was already covered in the Raimi films. Swap out the villain and love-interest and I'm failing to see what's so night-and-day with this approach.
