Bootlegged Amazing Spider-Man Trailer

Yeah this. I especially love that they have a scene at the beginning of the movie where his parents leave him. That's so Batman and so not Spider-man.It's 2.5 minutes long, that's a theatrical trailer. It's not going to be the only trailer, imagine, but it's very much a theatrical one. The TV ones will be much, much shorter.
And I'm truly mystified about the "one brief shot" bit. Like I honestly don't know what to say about that.
The music, the color palette, the hair, his expression, the slo-mo walking in the halls as people look and pull away, the clothing (not just the hoodie), how it looks like it's raining for the entire clip, none of that triggers a thing for you?
Now, I know that in the comic his parents did leave and then died, but in almost all previous origin stories for the character there has been no reason to mention it more than that. In this one we will get a whole scene and probably more about it. That worries me because it's shifting away from Uncle Ben and Aunt May as parental figures if he's always brooding about his real parents.
Ultimately, we'll have to see how they handle it but I feel this bodes badly.
Admittedly, if Marvel had the rights back, they would probably try and work his parents into the origin story, since according to the canon...
Peter Parker's parents were agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who once rescued Wolverine while he was still working for the Canadian government and were declared MIA/presumed dead at the end of a failed mission
A little thread necromancy but I didn't see a need to create a new Spiderman thread. Marvel has released some new photos from the movie. Not a huge fan of the suit. I really liked Raimi's suit. But on a plus side we have webshooters. While McGuire looked like the 60's Peter Parker Garfield looks like the current Peter Parker so I have no issues there.

A good/great actor in a perfect role for them doesn't make for a good movie. It might raise hopes, but it doesn't guarantee it'll be great. See also: Michael Chiklis as The Thing in Fantastic Four (one of the few saving graces of those movies), or Colin Farrell as Bullseye in Daredevil.
Also, yes, we're making a lot out of the trailer, but that's all we have to go on right now. Plus, as has been said, a lot of money has been put into this movie to decide not only how to make the movie, but how to promote it. This is the first impression they're choosing to give us and it's not a good sign.

Not if they're showing Emo Twilight Peter Parker. At this moment, unless a new trailer surfaces that's vastly different, they don't have my ticket.
Don't make empty assumptions. That same assumption means I paid to see Green Lantern or Watchmen (in the latter, I rented it while working at Blockbuster). I did neither.
From the very first trailer, I thought GL looked like crap and I called it correctly. Yet, upon seeing the trailers for Captain America and Thor, I was down for those immediately.

Yeah, they're marketing for the Twi-hards.
I waited for Rifftrax to see the Twilight movies and I'll do the same for this. It looks like some good Rifftrax fodder. Did anyone see what the Lizard looks like?
Granted, it probably won't be Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark bad, but that seems to be the angle they want.

Really? I thought the Watchmen trailer sucked. It's what convinced me not to see the movie--all the slo-mo. I knew I didn't want to put up with that for 4 hours, so I didn't bother.
Well, with Watchmen, I had no interest in the movie from the beginning. Then again, I thought using a 90's Smashing Pumpkin song to promote a movie set in the 80's was pretty stupid.
But the GL one was pretty spot-on.
My point is, I'm not the target audience. Not anymore. Five, ten years ago? Sure, I'd probably eat all this crap up with a spoon and love it. I might be a comic book nerd, but I'm an incredibly reader for the big name, mainstream stuff. And right now, this movie is being promoted as a dark movie, which the Spidey franchise has had more than enough of. Spider-Man is not Batman.
And finally, I sure as hell don't appreciate being called on non-existent bullshit. When I say they don't have my ticket, I mean it. They don't.

The Ultimate origin was pretty much the same except OSBORNE... which was lame, just like the 1st time they made Normy be behind everything with the Clone Saga clusterfuck...
And then he made Osborne be a more interesting villain then GG... by making GG a lame Hulk ripoff that could throw fireballs...
...
Anyhow, the trailer looks a lot better then i was expecting after hearing your comments on it...

I found that the fact they couldn't decide if they wanted to be a mainstream film or an good adaptation of the comic is what made it meh.Am I the only person that really liked Watchmen?
Not really. I took more offence to being called out on non-existent bullshit than arguing about the trailer again.
Now you might be. I remember when it first came out I was one of the few people on here who didn't like it.Am I the only person that really liked Watchmen?
Frankly I don't care about this movie. Only reason it's being made is because the Marvel Studios movies have been successful and now Sony doesn't want to release the license and give Marvel a chance to make a good Spider-man film. It's also why Fox made first class (which is also why you won't see Quicksilver or Scarlett Witch in the Avengers).
No, the bullshit I was "called on" was that I was already a target audience and was going to pay to see it. Which is wrong.
I'm going to watch this since I love Spider-Man and fresh takes on the story and pretty much every single actor and the director is an improvement over the original
And that still isn't what I said, but by all means carry on.
Why?
You're kidding right? Identical? They made it WOW ZANY NEW WITHOUT A WAIST RADICAL GLOVES not to mention added a basketball texture to the whole thing that makes it look like he's about to go to an S&M convention instead of fighting baddies.

It's possible those shoes are just for the stuntperson and will be digitally magiced out
Now I remember why Supes wore his underwear on the outside.
