The Amazing Spider-Man: Trailer and analysis

Yay! Amazing Spiderman Trailer! Lets look.... and analyze..



Yay! First trailer came out! lets see if it lives up to expectations….
0:12 - 0:27
 
Okay… playing the whole “ophan lives with relatives” origin…. is this necessary? i mean, sure its an important part of Peter’s history, but why stress on it… I mean, is it for people who dont know Spiderman? If a kid is introduced as living with his Aunt and Uncle, then of course you assume that his parents are either dead or deadbeats. Hmm… unless its a plot-point of the movie…

Ok… it looks like dinner at the Stacy’s…. I think thats the rest of the stacy family?
.
.
.
.
0:44
Ok, really? they’re gonna play him off as an emo kid? I mean, sure teen-agers are angsty…. but dont make him too angsty.

HEY! Dennis Leary as Captain Stacy! … not a bad choice. Better than being the sabre-tooth on Ice Age.

Ok, I think I know why they only show Uncle Ben and Aunt May for only a few frames. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE CASTING WAS WEIRD. I mean, I had to look up IMDB to be sure… Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Fields as Aunt May? 

First of all, Martin Sheen doesnt even seem like a good choice at all, because Uncle Ben is supposed to give off a sense of someone who is wise and a good provider. Sheen looks like he just woke up and they paid him to come on set for the hell of it. 

Plus (ok, personal opinion) Sally Fields annoys me. The Aunt May from the original movies, Rosemary Harris, was PERFECT. Sally Fields is just known as a whiner from every movie I’ve seen her in. Scatch that. Half the time, she’s a whiner, the other half, she’s a nagging...well you know. I hate Smokey… Stick to Boniva Sally. Yes, I get it, Steel Magnolias was sad.. jeez...

Beautiful Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. And… she works for OZCorp? I dont remember that in the comics….  Well, if you know the comics, you know what happens to her...

Ok…. who is that guy? Can you guess? Can ya? Can Ya? This is Dr. Curt Conners. Aka The Lizard. I'm looking forward to this... a little... so far...
.

1:04-1:06
Bring on the spiders. Finally. Well, in the first movie you only see a few of them, in glass cases, for some experiment for god knows what. In THIS movie, aparently there is a WHOLE ROOM with revolving walls of webs. Which… isnt bad. It shows actual experimentation on spiders rather than putting some spiders on screen and saying “Hey see these? They were experimented on earlier by Dr. MacGuffin. OOOoooooohh”

Over All - the trailer was getting boring as you watch. Played off the “angsty teen drama” vibe. However, when the Spider stuff came on, it became a fun roller coaster that gets you psyched (if not sea sick)! Going with the POV web-sling was a pretty nice choice.


However, its an interesting choice they decided to go with Gwen Stacy as the love interest instead of Mary Jane Watson. Emma Stone could play both of course. And i guess its because technically Gwen came before MJ.


Either way, cant wait to see and judge the movie next year.
