The Amazing Spider Man trailer

[ThaVirus]

Saw the trailer today in 3-D (not sure if that makes a diff?).. But I thought the first-person view was pretty cool. Even so, am NOT ready for a reboot.

IMO, they would have been better off just starting with a new cast and storyline. What i dont like is another origin story. Boring and predictable so close to the last one. Everyone by now is very familiar with Spideys origin. Why waste another 30 to 45 minutes of your movie setting that up again?

Exactamundo, sir. Spider-Man is the biggest superhero cashgrab outside of Batman at the moment. EVERYONE knows who Spider-Man is.. Le sigh. It's all about the paper...

EDIT: I guess I can give them points for attempting to flesh out Parker's parents and that whole relationship dynamic... But the more I think about it, no. No, I can't. I won't pretend to have read every Spidey comic, but I am a Spidey fiend. As far as I'm aware, Parker's parents have never been a factor, in any incarnation.

In the animated series in the 90s, I remember there being a big arc about how his parents were American spies in the Soviet Union... what came of that, I don't remember. But it was a fairly big deal if I recall correctly.
