Ive seen more that i like in a 2:30 trailer than i liked in 3 tobey maquire movies to be honest. I'll definatly give this a watch.

I still don't know about this mechanical web shooter thing - it made much more sense, to me, for it to be a biological mutation. For one thing, where is a high schooler going to get that mechanism from? How are they going to engineer that contraption, and the wrist-jizz to boot? In Raimi's flicks, that was fine - because it was a biological mutation (that also suited the coming-of-age aspect of Spidey 1 quite well). Not mad-keen on the costume either ... I can't help but wonder if it's too soon to be rebooting it all, especially when this project really started out as Spider-Man 4. On the plus side though - Emma Stone (albeit not with the red hair she's most known for, which is, curiously enough, not her real hair colour - which actually is blonde ... ... starting to sound like Ralph Garman now, so I'll pipe down. ) The first-person running around bit was cool though ... even if the motion still feels a bit unrealistic for how the world looks when you're actually running around, if that makes sense. I'll no doubt see it at some point, but I'm not excited about it either.

I wonder if they will ever make a Spiderman 2099 movie. This is the Spiderman I remember as a kid.

I can't help but wonder if it's too soon to be rebooting it all Wonder no longer:

not impressed with this trailer. then again, i've been against this film from jump street, so perhaps that's the problem. i recently got my little nephew all kinds of hooked on spider-man, so i'm sure i'll have to watch this with him at some point.....just not in theaters.

[JDFP]

I just don't get the point of this. The films are less than a decade old, has me scratching my head. Was the Martin Sheen in the trailer though? If he's in it, I'll check it out for a rent on Netflix when it's available for rent just because Martin Sheen is in it though. He was recently in a film with his son Emilio Estevez called "The Way" which was one of the best films I've ever seen this last year, so I'll give it a chance just on his being in it. j.p.

If you forget there were any of the previous three films.....this is actually pretty cool looking. Forget it's a reboot and it looks alright. Well, except for the first person cgi. It was good until that.

i preferred it when it was the trailer for mirrors edge minus the batman begins filter three years ago.

Hmmm. . .not bad. A little emo. . . .. .but not bad.

I thought the first person sequence felt tacky! I still think the first two Tobey Maguire flicks were excellent, so this reboot will have to be something fairly special to match them!

[AcesandEights]

I thought the first person sequence felt tacky! Agreed. I still think the first two Tobey Maguire flicks were excellent, so this reboot will have to be something fairly special to match them! Yeah, to me, Spidey 1 & 2 are pretty near to top of the heap for comic book films. They have the perfect fit for the character, stuck closely enough to the character's core and told some classic-feeling Spidey tales with a good mix of action & comedy with just enough heart to make it worthy of such a classic character.

The only good thing I saw there was the blond chick and two skateboards. Does Peter skate now? Since when? Screw that.

For one thing, where is a high schooler going to get that mechanism from? How are they going to engineer that contraption, and the wrist-jizz to boot? In Raimi's flicks, that was fine - because it was a biological mutation (that also suited the coming-of-age aspect of Spidey 1 quite well). I like the return to how it is in the comics, personally. If we wanted to get technical, biological webbing should never have been shooting out of his wrists in the Raimi movies; if he had a spider-like mutation, he should have been shooting it out of his butt. So, yeah, suspension of belief has to be applied either way. Besides, odds are that he ISN'T designing at least the web fluid. The movie trailer showed his parents at the beginning, had a younger version of Aunt May, showed Gwen Stacy working with Curt Connors as a sort of intern, and a number of other such details. That tells me that they're sort of hybriding Ultimate Spider-Man and the short-lived (but utterly awesome) Spectacular Spider-Man television show. In Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter is able to make the web fluid because he has a box of his father's research files, and one of those files contains the formula for the adhesive that becomes his web fluid. From there, the web shooter would be easy enough to design, since you're just looking for a trigger to spray the fluid, which is contained in pressurized cartridges. It wouldn't be much more complicated than the trigger on a water gun or a can of silly string. Basically his dad did the hard part before Peter was ever born. I'm looking forward to this movie quite a bit. For those saying that it's too soon to reboot, it isn't when you consider that Marvel is trying to make all their movies exist in the same universe and run along the same timeline. Raimi's movies just don't fit into that plan. Besides, as much as I liked Spider-Man 2, by the time the trilogy was over you had Norman Osborne, Harry Osborne, Venom, and Otto Octavius all dead. Yes, Spider-Man has a number of other villains, but villains capable of having a movie revolve around them? Besides the Lizard... not so much. Plus, I dunno, maybe it was just me but I never really got behind Raimi's Spider-Man all the way. It might have been Tobey Maguire or just the scripting, but I never got that sense of humor that Spider-Man is known for. He didn't quip or crack jokes during fights like he does in the comics, which he does most of the time to distract his enemies and cover up the fact that he's scared out of his mind. Hopefully Amazing Spider-Man can accomplish this better.

Hopefully Amazing Spider-Man can accomplish this better. Well, I definitely recall him doing this a bit in the first movie and I thought even the 2nd film. Maybe I have to re-watch those two.
