I dont know about you guys, but I enjoyed seeing lil' spidey crawl his way up out of the car. If he were of a different ethnicity I'd say we'd have our Miles Morales people!

[Scullibundo]

Hey look, another opportunity for Spidy to unmask. And yeah, that CG looked very shitty. Hopefully it is unfinished.

[Crewnh]

I'm assuming it's Uncle Ben's.

That's way more likely.

I forgot he's alive for a while in this one.

[Sentry]

New footage is fine, but mixing it into the old trailer was shitty. They should've just released it like a clip or something.. but I liked the footage.

That's way more likely. I forgot he's alive for a while in this one.

Not really. Why would Gwenn be looking up? I'm sure she's staring at Spider-Man, it'd make little sense for Peter not to be at Ben's funeral. It's probably her dad. But who knows, could be either at this point.

[Salvor.Hardin]

That's some bad cg. I really hope that scene with the kid crawling out of the car doesn't make it into the movie. It seems like it was filmed for a music video rather than a movie. Is Chad Kroeger planning a come back?

[Winnie the Pimp]

i like how it says "in 3D" on the bottom of the promo poster as though that were an asset or something.

Well it probably IS in the eyes of some(mainly the producers which will rake in the cash i guess) :(

PS: if this is actually SHOT in 3D i will be slightly less annoyed but still hope for a 2D version to be available this time (there wasn't for Avengers here so not holding my breath)

[Sentry]

^I think if you watch this movie in 2D before you see it in 3D, you'll be making a mistake. It seems like it was made for 3D, and everyone who's seen the trailers in theaters says the 3D is great.

for real? hmm maybe it is one of the few exceptions indeed then...

[WrikaWrek]

CG looks like crap, action looks bland, the glowing red light when he shoots a web is just toy material, and he just took out his mask like it wasn't shit to do with him. Also the kid shit was just embarrassing.

Terrible.

[Don'tBeWeird]

I still like the look of this film.

[JokerOfSpades]

I have a feeling I'm going to get VERY annoyed at him taking his mask all the time.

Seconded.

[Graphics Horse]

Maybe he keeps taking his mask off so the police won't recognise him?

[Scullibundo]

Maybe he keeps taking his mask off so the police won't recognise him?

Maybe the eye patches aren't translucent and he has to take his mask off before doing anything to get an idea of where he's going.

[Tim-E]

I'm probably going to like this movie.

[Secret_Riddle]

I have a feeling this movie will turn out good, but I'll be fucked if Sony doesn't find new ways to make it look worse every time they show it.

Sculli's right. Peter unmasking with that kid feels like pandering trash, and the cgi on those cars looks completely botched, assuming of course that it's finished.

[Sentry]

I have a feeling this movie will turn out good, but I'll be fucked if Sony doesn't find new ways to make it look worse every time they show it.

I agree. I think the movie will end up being an all around good movie, if people can look past the reboot stuff and new 'edge' to it.. if the Conners thing is any indication, this will be a good human movie. /irony

Maybe the eye patches aren't translucent and he has to take his mask off before doing anything to get an idea of where he's going.

[Bufbaf]

Huh, I kinda liked that scene with the kid, felt to me like what Pete would do in that situation.

[MisterHero]

yeah, going by that kid in the car scene

they know who they're making this movie for

On one hand it reeks of pandering. On the other, it's kinda brilliant

[.la1n]

Wow, just...I can't believe how bad this looks.

[Razgriz-Specter]

Wow, just...I can't believe how bad this looks.

In all possible ways.
To me at least.

[sext0n]

Terrible. I didn't much like the other spiderman movies and this just looks like more of the same.

[MetalGuardian]

Huh, I kinda liked that scene with the kid, felt to me like what Pete would do in that situation.

Seriously. That scene is in no way out of character for Peter, I thought it was great. I'm glad the movie seems to be focusing on Peter's more compassionate qualities, it's what makes him so likable, and is what makes you feel bad for his shitty life.

I'm really surprised at how many of you think the movie looks terrible. I think it looks like it will be up to par with Raimi's first two films, which will be magnificent. I've waited far too long for another good Spidey film

[TeegsD]

This movie looks all kinds of awesome. Waiting for July really sucks :( Just wanna see Spidey

[M.D]

All this hate... it is amazing!
A lot of people are going to eat some tasty crow!

I dont know if this has been posted but there are rumblings that Sony Execs are not too fond of the Amazing Spider-man

http://badassdigest.com/2012/04/26/t...er-man-sequel/

I'm back from Vegas! All that travel means I'm a bit behind on some news, so while this happened yesterday I wanted to bring it up today... Sony is looking at The Amazing Spider-Man as an investment. I've heard some really mixed things about the movie - much of which originates from INSIDE Sony - but no matter how the film does (unless the film is an unmitigated disaster, and that won't happen with a property like this), they're coming back for a sequel. Sony is so sure of the sequel that they've hired Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman to write it. Note that hiring writers to work on sequels before a movie is released is common, and not always a guarantee of that sequel going anywhere. But Kurtzman and Orci are Big Deal Writers, since their movies - despite rarely being any good - have made a lot of money. I imagine their quote is pretty high, so Sony went ahead and dumped a bunch of cash on Spider-Man 2 because they fully intend to get that movie made. And they're hiring Orci and Kurtzman because they want Spider-Man 2 to be as straight down the center as possible - you're not hiring these guys to bring you a nuanced look at anything. We'll see if The Amazing Spider-Man is as troubled as I've heard (the stories that come to me are that the execs hate it, and you can never tell when the execs are right or when they're stupid, stupid suits). This hiring could be the sign of a major change in direction for the franchise. If you follow Orci's twitter you'll wonder if Spidey will finally investigate 9/11 as an inside job.

its from the reputable Devin Faraci so its not from a nobody

[Escape Goat]

If the suits hate it its going to outgross Cameron's movies combined.

[EliteArtist]

My thoughts are that we're seeing all of the shots of Peter unmasking in the trailers so that the general public knows who is behind the character. I'm hoping that aside from these odd moments like saving kids from burning cars, beating up a SWAT team, etc that the mask will stay on.

Speaking of which, this is something I really liked about the Nolan Batman movies. He never takes off his mask in public. Ever.

lol'd

[NintendoGal]

I just realized the guy who plays Dr. Connors, Rhys Ifans, is the same guy who plays the flatmate (Spike) in Notting Hill!



That's probably pretty obvious to everyone else, but I just now noticed. :(

[CrazyDude]

Why did the car go on fire all of a sudden?

[KillGore]

[Good Job Bob]

Why did the car go on fire all of a sudden?

The clip is cut badly.

[Symphonic]

I'm glad that Spidey looks/acts more in line with the comic books than Raimi's, but damn I can not get myself hyped up for this.

[PushTheButtonMax]

:lol I honestly couldn't care less about those rumors. True or not, they have very little actual merit in my mind. Also, some instagram final marketing?

[Tom_Cody]

Is anything known about Norman Osborne's role in this?

[Razgriz-Specter]

Thats just Batman in general.

[Fudgepuppy]

So has there been anything cohesive about why the studio don't seem to like this?

Is it because it's a bad movie, or is it because it's not a blockbuster like Avengers? :/

[Razgriz-Specter]

Is anything known about Norman Osborne's role in this?

Is he in?
If so that gives me some hope for this reboot.

[Discotheque]

Roberto Orci and Kurtzman? Sonofabitch. When will these fools die already?!!!

[Sentry]

Well obviously Norman Osborn has SOME role in this, since the movie literally revolves around Oscorp (is company) and how is father used to work there. I expect Osborn will make a cliffhanger appearance.

[Good Job Bob]

Roberto Orci and Kurtzman? Sonofabitch. When will these fools die already?!!!

They are re-writing a script from one of the original writers of this so who knows, maybe they won't completely fuck it up.

That's about right.

They are being weirdly coy about it considering OSCORP is plastered everywhere in the footage released so far.

Yeah, I'm guessing he is going to have a Nick Fury like role in this in order to set the stage for the sequel.

[effzee]

They wrote this or the sequel?

[Good Job Bob]

[brandonh83]

Is it because it's a bad movie, or is it because it's not a blockbuster like Avengers? :/

If this movie isn't better than Avengers, Marc Webb failed miserably and should never touch a camera again.

[DoctorWho]

They wrote this or the sequel?

They've already been signed to write the sequel.

[Sentry]

It certainly is odd... I'm guessing they're going to go the 616 route of his parents being spies or activists of some sort, but instead of being tied to SHIELD (like in the comics) it'll be to Oscorp/Osborn. I can already picture them revealing Osborn behind the death of his parents and having this whole fiasco a sort of test for him to see how 'evolved' Parker has become before trying to replicate it on himself, leading of course to GG.

I always hope to be surprised when I walk into the theater, but it seems pretty clear that this is the direction they're going in.

Ugh
