Me too. I also would love to see an adult spidey with a great actor and script. The kiddy spidey isn't that interesting to me either anymore.
No CGI and all wire work, right?
Sure, but you're waiting for "Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding" 8 to come out.

never forget the importance of the asian market.

You keep misunderstanding.
I hate the comic movies that inevitably devolve into a pure CGI battle scene for like the last 20-30 minutes of the movie. The first Transformers was the first that I recall doing that, and though I hated the film from top to bottom, it became almost unbearable when it was just all out war and the images are literally too fast to even make out as you're watching. Then Avengers memorably did it, where it was a full on cartoon for a lengthy stretch. Batman v. Superman again, with that idiotic Doomsday battle. It's so formulaic, and the formula is utter shit.
Game of Thrones uses CGI, but tastefully, in moderation, and elegantly.
The Nolan Batman films were as good as it got. Not sure I can even really recall any FX in those, other than a bit in the last one.
So yeah, I wish they'd do a Spiderman film along the lines of the Nolan Batman movies where the subject matter is pretty serious, it's a likeable and believable SpiderMAN (not a Tobey Faguire or Garfield), and it isn't just endless fight scenes with things blowing up everywhere.
I'd love to use Logan as another example, but I haven't seen it yet and have heard amazing things.

Well yes, when a story revolves around characters that can perform absolutely incredible physical/mystical feats, it's going to require CGI. Doctor Strange without CGI is just a guy in fancy pijamas waving his hands around appropriating Asian culture. Also an excellent story though. The amount of CGI doesn't have an inverse relationship to the quality of the story. It just doesn't make up for a shitty story. But nobody argues that it does.
With that said, in those stories lacking in quality storylines (BvS is an excellent example here), the CGI battles are very, very clearly the pay off for putting down your 13 bucks, and are usually pretty entertaining.
Mainly due to lack of budget...they want to do a lot more CGI.
Well yeah, it's about a guy, in a suit with fancy tools. You don't need CGI to show what Batman can do. With that said, the amount of stroking the Nolan Batman trilogy gets is borderline nauseating. There are plot holes you can drive a tank through in all of them, that we all ignore because suspension of belief is a hallmark of comic book movies. They were excellent flicks, but let's not make them out to be something they're not. They're more realistic because Batman is a more realistic character to work with (for obvious reasons).
Where I agree on the Spider"man" bit, I disagree with doing a Nolanized version of Spidey. We've already had the prevailing Spiderman themes beat to death in previous runs at the character (thus my uncle Ben comment). Easily the best parts of the previous Spiderman attempts was Spidey doing what he does best, shit talking while fighting over powered villains. There's no reason to get dark and gritty with Spidey.
Logan is a character built for that treatment though, and the source material for it (Old Man Logan) is a great story. Logan being something of a tortured soul (existing in an odd duality with his indestructible body) sets up for that type of adult themed treatment. Not all comic book characters have that, shit, most of them don't. There's nothing wrong with that.
