The brand new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, which hits theaters on July 3.
A couple thoughts:
- The costume looks pretty damned bad, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over it. Too much blue, too much over-design, too much “Oh, the mask got removed so the actor can have more face-time.”
- They still have that whole “trying to quip with a mask muffling your voice” problem that the Raimi films had, and it really hurts how these lines are delivered.
- I like how they touch on Pete being a genius - or at least approaching one - but it’s not clear if that’s a “him” or the Spider powers.
- This “untold story” thing makes me really nervous. I’m not sure why, but I just have a really bad feeling about them adding something to Spider-Man’s origin that’ll taint the whole thing.
- I like Gwen’s interaction in this film, as she actually seems to have a point.
- Dennis Leary is going to be the JK Simmons of these movies.
Probably will skip this when it comes out, but catch it on Netflix/DVD.
