MOVIE TRAILERS

Like it.

Anything is better than Spider Man 3 and quite frankly anything with Denis Leary is great.

I really want to like this movie but so far it's just not doing it for me. Maby I'll be pleasantly surprised in the theater, we'll see. For me Tobey Maguire IS Peter Parker and how could I enjoy a spiderman movie without J.K. Simmons?

I don't care about the whole argument of whether it's a reboot, remake, etc etc... It's all the same. It's a remake. And no, it does us no good to get all upset about it since it's being made whether you want it or not.  That being said, I wasn't a huge fan of Raimi's films, so I couldn't care either way. I think his films were a bit campy, albeit entertaining (I'm talking about the first 2) and the 3rd must have left such a sour taste in the studio's mouth that they decided they needed to save the franchise by bringing something fresh to the table. So at the very least I was hoping that the new "Amazing" Spiderman would feel markedly different from the previous iterations, alla Batman Begins vs Tim Burton (and more importantly Joel Poomaucker). Based on the trailer, I don't really see a vision that is all that different. Same overall premise (which isn't the director's fault by any means), souped up CG, and a different villain. Although it does seem like the director is far more deft at working with dramatically driven character performances, which to me is half the battle. I was admittedly expecting something that felt a bit darker tonally however. As for the actual footage, one thing really pleased me overall. Peter Parker flying through the air felt much more tactile than in Raimi's films. Spiderman often looks like he's trying to maintain balance/control in the air, especially when he uses his shooters, which brings something much more palpable and real to the experience. For this alone, I'm excited because it make him seem less "superhero" and more human. Sure he scales buildings and dive-bombs between them, but that's a given and frankly exciting element that, no matter how many remakes later, would be there and look similar. I'm glad they didn't feature the 1st person footage at least in this new trailer. The director wants to bring his audience more into the experience, more into Spiderman's shoes and that's cool... but the CG just isn't there. I think we're at this interesting point in CG film history where it's possible to create convincing CG when it's imbedded amongst existing, real-life environments, but when a scene is 100% comprised of visual effects material, as realistic as it may look, humans are simply capable of seeing when something is ever so slightly off.  I watched the first trailer a number of times, and as detailed as everything in that last 1st person CG sequence was, there was still a sheen, still something too "clean" that was hard to pinpoint. Even Avatar looks dated now, and if you don't believe it just try watching it in 2D. My 5yr old daughter when watching the Spiderman teaser even said "That looks cool. But why does it look like a video game? I thought this was a movie." Now, I should say that she is around this kind of material all of the time because it's what I do for a living, but still... a 5yr old could see it? Garfield is a weird pick to me, but I think I can warm up to him. Leary is friggin' awesome, and I can imagine him bringing a grounded sense of gravity and realism to this whole CG affair. My biggest concern is Rhys Ifans who seems to be yet another great actor cast in a part that might as well be entirely CG or just a cardboard cutout for that matter. He's a fantastic actor, but from what I can tell, this is just another villain. Except this time, GASP!, it's Peter Parker's fault, bestowing a great sense of responsibility upon his shoulder's the right what went horribly wrong.  A little note to Marc Webb, the producers, editors, etc... "Thanks for giving away the whole effing story in this trailer!" When will they stop doing that with blockbuster trailers? Tease us, show us enough to give us the sense that we know a lot, then blow us away in theaters by revealing an entirely different side to the story that we didn't see coming. Sure, this could still be the case, but it isn't. I'm a director and I've cut my fair share of trailers before as well, and this trailer makes it painfully obvious that even though 98% of the film is missing, they revealed at least 60% of the key components that break down the overall story structure. But I digress... This could be a great film, and I hope it will be. There's no reason any of us should ban it for not being Raimi's vision, or hope it fails for the same reason. And that brings me to my last point: The team behind this film has been trying from day 1 to curb the notion that this is a reboot, remake, rebuild, renovation, re, re, re... It's more damage than good. Look at all the damage control they've had to do, that Marc Webb has had to deal with because they are denying something that is so obvious. I think they would have given a much more positive perception of "The Amazing Spiderman" if they had blatantly said from the beginning that this is a re-imagining. Why the fear of saying this? Say it and get it over with. Done. Damn I thought I was going to write a paragraph.

Death to superheroes.

Looks good. atleast andrew garfield looks like "the real Peter Parker" (spidey from the comics). i mean, go look up a pic of the original peter parker and youll see garfield looks spot on. (minus some of the hair poofiness though .) i get why people are saying tobey IS spiderman, because they probably didnt grow up on the comics and didn't know what he originally looked like and instead grew up on tobey-whiney-crybaby-annoyingvoice-spidey (thats just my take on him). By the trailer, Garfield has the snarky, wise-ass attitude of spidey going which is good also. the suits growing on me too. CG still needs work though. and i think this is as dark as you can take spider-man so its obviously not gunna be like batman begins. I think they should have just straight up said it was a reboot too instead of untold origin or story also. i think they put that because they're actually trying to base the movie more off the comics than raimis and have gwen stacy as the first love interest instead of mary jane and delve more into his parents past. also to people who say he isn't spiderma: exhibit A to show - http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091218205761/marveldatabase/images/e/e5/Civil_War_Vol_1_2_page_24_Peter_Parker_%28Earth-616%29.jpg

that was an AMAZING trailer!!!

if i may be so bold. Raimi's Spider Man is like Burtons Batman. This version of Spider Man fells more at home in the tone of Nolan's Batman. That's how I see it. I'm not saying it's better than Nolan's Batman or visa-versa. You gotta keep up with the rat race so to speak.

Emma Stone (Blonde) is the hottest love interest out of all the comic book movies so far: Iron Man :             Gwyneth Paltrow (not so hot) Thor:                    Natalie Portman (not so hot) Hulk:                     Liv Tyler (not so hot, but debatable) Batman:                Katie Holmes, Maggie Glylenhal (Hell No!) Raimi's Spiderman:   Kirsten Durnst (Yuck!) CORECTION: SUPER YUCK! Capt America:        Hailey Atwell (Ok, but nothing special) Bottom Line: I just hope Mr. Parker gets his spidey freak on with that chick, lol

Didn't like the trailer. Seemed like it was more of a tv show feel on a closed set. And the lizard looked like a b-movie cgi. At least I won't be let down when it's mediocre. Still don't understand why people want a reboot of spiderman already? Does anyone have an original idea? Stan lee your killing you legacy!

The movie looks great. Though I thought The Lizard could have looked better.

will his mask be off most of the time like the last time....cause that sucked....

Usually i read all the statements in thier entirty before posting but in this case DFC. This is going to be by far more stellar, hopefully darker and more brutal than Raimi's ... GOD PLEASE LET THE SOUNDTRACK BE BEAST MODE THIS TIME!!!!!!

I'm still be leery of this new Spider-Man but, I'll give it a chance.

Liking the look of this film compared to the last 3 Spidey films.  I for one, was not bothered by Raimi's Spider-Man films, although this looks better.  Webb has tried to put across a darker more grittier version of Spider-Man in the same vein that Nolan has done with Batman, and in all honesty it is much better this way
