Gotta say this summer is shaping up to be an amazing year for Super-Hero movies – The Dark Night, Avengers, Chronicle, and now what I believe will be the “sleeper” – The Amazing Spider-Man. I originally was completely against the idea of a reboot and telling the origin story yet again. But frankly I hated the Raimi original, loved the sequel and thought the 3rd movie got unfairly trashed. Raimi made the Spider-Man world too glossy and I always hated the CGI Web Slinging it took me out of the movie. Here it looks a lot more realistic and I like the design of the new costume. The one thing I hate in this trailer is once again Spider-Man gets his mask taken off. What’s the point of having a secret identity if your mask keeps getting ripped off. He needs to talk to Ray Mysterio, Jr. about tricks to keeping that thing on. Here’s the new trailer.
Despite not being a fan of the those odd blue filips on the gloves and boots, I love the look of the suit, overall, and the trailer is definitely cooking.
I have to say, for the record, that I agree with you about Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, but feel exactly the opposite aboite about 1 & 3 [loved the first one, hated the too-many-villians third [there were two or three good movies in there struggling to get out…].
