ORIGINAL: musht New trailer should be up tonight/tomorrow, until then here are some reactions and descriptions, may contain spoilers http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=86676 http://www.totalfilm.com/news/the-amazing-spider-man-sneak-peak-footage-reaction Thanks for the links! The trailer gave me goosebumps because I have been waiting for this movie. I have so much faith in Andrew Garfield and Emma Watson to rock this movie! Emma Stone, not Emma Watson! Calm down babydoll, we all know the difference. I think Emma Watson...no Mary Jane Watson...dagnabit, I mean Emma Stone looks all right actually. I have to say, going by the latest trailer I am totally sold on the film! I think Garfield looks much better than Dolphin smiling Maguire. And the physicality of Spider-man to me, has been much more faithfully translated from the source material. He acts more like a 'ninja', which sounds like something a 13 year-old or our resident Rheum rhabarbarum would say but there's definitely a different 'sense' with this spider-man. quote:
ORIGINAL: Mojo Its really annoyed me. A totally pointless reboot and it doesn't even look that good. Sure, the suit is kind of cool and so are his web shooters, but the brief glimpses of the Lizard don't impress and are we really expected to sit through another 45 mintues of angsty Parker discovering his powers and learning to deal with them? No thank you. Then again, I am a Sam Raimi fanboy so I was never gonna get behind this picture. I'm probably go and see it though, which is the most annoying thing. It's not pointless if they thought there was no merit in carrying on with Raimi's continuity, and instead start a new one. Personally, I don't give a shit. I think if something doesn't work, cut it loose and start again. Rather than cling on to it (yes pun) for the sake of sentimentality. It's five years after the last film was relased, some act as though it was only last year. More than enough time to get the idea over that this is a fresh start. I don't care about exploring the origins of Peter Parker and Spider-man again. You need to flesh out the background and the character's history if you want the film to be more engaging. Especially as people still remember the previous films. I'm intrigued to know what they're doing with the backstory of his parents and Dr. Connors; who at least will become the Lizard in this film. There's the addition of the mechanised web-shooters which is interesting, it adds a certain level of danger to Spider-man (running out of web fluid, jamming, being damaged etc) and it actually shows how he's able to apply his love and knowledge of science, particularly chemistry into practice. In addition, starting with Gwen Stacy which follows the comics as I understand is a welcome departure as we're not re-treading the same ground exactly. Although it's funny how you mentioned being a 'Raimi fanboy', which will predispose you to be averse to the film. Furthermore, if it'll annoy that much, don't go and bloody watch it then. . We could do with less 'angst' here.
