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…

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...

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. 

Dated Feb 16th, 2011 - from my tumblr

OK, i have never seen this actor. He doesnt really seem like a “Peter Parker” to me, and im basing this off of every Spidey comic ive read. Which is alot.

They say they are basing this origin story re-vamp from Ultimate Spider-man, which was widely popular and possibly the most favored in the “Ultimate” marvel universe. Its basically the same, except Peter is in highschool. Although i sincerely hate it when they hire people between the ages 21-28 to play high schoolers. It may work for some MTV shows, but its not that hard to find the right aged actors.

The bottom picture was the first released photo of Andrew Garfield in Spidey costume, obviously out of some battle scene or whatever. And so far, its not scoring points with me. One of the reasons why I think the original Spiderman franchise did so well was because they got the costume right. …Sure they didnt exactly explain where and how he got the costume, but still, THEY GOT IT RIGHT the first time! 


This one just has sooo many…flaws. First,I have no ideo what that suit is made of. It looks like….material they use for sports gloves. Only more waxy? Which leads me to the second flaw, the way the colors are put together. It is reminds me of those toys that lets kids make their own mixed-color crayons. Maybe the after-battle look is just ruining the texture or something. The kind of mix would POSSIBLY work for the gloves. But the red part is just so… plane. 


I mean, the texture looks mixed, but it just looks all….draped over. There is supposed to be a red band that goes around his waist. Like a belt. If they added that, it could have really save the costume. And I can barley see the symbol! It looks like its covered by….scorch marks? Well…Green Goblin….makes sense.

All in all, this isnt a very good reveal for the costume.

The top photo, released today, definitely sells the new costume much better, especially with the cool pose, but im still having doubts. Why are his eyes yellow?

I just hope the the movie doesn't mess up the mythos.

The designers handling this movie have to know that putting your own little spin on the costume to be “original” doesnt always work. You didnt make spiderman. You know the template.
