The new Amazing Spider-Man trailer is out...

I know I'm rather late, but I just saw it, so there.

I think one's enjoyment of the movie hinges on whether you liked Garfield's version of Parker/Spider-man better than Maguire's.
I think that does play a major part. I really didn't want to like this movie as much as I did, I didn't want to justify the reboot. But Spider-man's portrayal is, obviously, so important to the film as a whole that the improvement I saw in Garfield (and I didn't hate Maguire) made me like it. Garfield's version just fits Spidey better, his awkwardness felt very real as opposed to Maguire's weird awkwardness. Replacing Kirsten Dunst also did not hurt at all.
 
All i got to say is this: Smart Lizard, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, hats off to the writer/s for the fighting ring scene and Peter's final quip to Gwen about promises... i loved those.

The Amazing Spider man movie is awesome. I love this movie. I missed Tobey Maguire in this movie. I love him as the role of spider man. He is good actor. But this movie is better movie.
 
Isn't it kind of late for reviewbots?

Also, still hate this movie. I particularly love the heroic way that Peter Parker gets a young minority student possibly arrested for trespassing by stealing his ID.
 
I agree with Bowie. Gwen's death by the hands of the Green Goblin is such an iconic scene it seems almost criminal to mess with it. Sort of like having Lord of the Rings end with Frodo voluntarily tossing the ring into the fires of Mount Doom, instead of how it actually turned out. You lose a lot of the intent and significance of the scene.

Also, please please please introduce MJ with the classic line.
 
I didn't know Electro was the illegitimate son of Mr. Freeze, now I expect dozens of electrical puns. I admit this is a pretty shocking development.
 
Elecrto looks like Jaime Foxx in the comics, sort of. He was imbued with more power or something and is basically living lightning. It's why Thor can stomp all over him now. Though recently he was made into some kind of negative charge or something, so Thor couldn't win as easily. Electro showed up in an Avenging Spider-Man recently.
 
Currently, I have considerable resistance to the Electro design. I was pretty amped up for this movie, and Jamie Foxx is a dynamic enough actor to give the character the jolt it needs, but the design doesn't provide enough wattage, it's just not memorable enough. He looks like an AC/DC groupie wannabe. There's a whole battery full of potentially better designs, to make the character look like he could put the hertz on Spider-man. Right now he doesn't look like he has the capacitance to plug Spidey with anything worse than some blue sparks.

Shocking.

If Rhino is just some dude driving a giant truck, I'm gonna be pissed. I doubt it, but yeah.
If this were part of the Nolan Batman trilogy, I could totally see that. Given how over-the-top the Lizard was, though, I'm sure the Rhino will be at least somewhat faithful to the comics.
