It's so funny... I've been so HYPED up to see Nolan's last dark knight that I was obsessed... I'd listen and look out for any tid bit of information, trailers, posters anything that would give me a glimpse of the movie... Then the Avengers came out and BLEW me (and the rest of the world) away and my hopes for dark knight were diminished but still anxious.  Now I've just seen the new Amazing Spider Man 4 minute preview and I CANT BELIEVE HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE THIS MOVIE (And I hate Spider Man)... I want to stay excited about the Dark knight but it's hard when other movies that seem equally as good are dropping around the same time... CURSE YOU MARVEL!!!!

Gotta give it to Sony....this movie keeps looking more and more awesome!

Ok, this has been bugging me since I saw the trailer: At 2:40 in this video-WHO is the guy talking to Dr. Connors in the jail cell?  And has no one else wondered this?!

Oi, "Gyp" is a racial slur. For fuck's sake.

Ha, the kids dad was C. Thomas Howell... and I just found out something, there is no J.J.J., what the hell, how can you have a spiderman film without J.J. Jameson?

Spidey comes in at a close #2 after Batman for me, but I have no desire to see this crap. Its seriously depressing when one of my favorite heroes gets a movie and I could care less. Can't wait til Spidey and X-men are back with Marvel Films.

I don´t think this one is going to be awesome, But I don´t understand either what´s with the idealization of Raimi´s.  The Lizard looks like a pretty flat character, but most of Raimi´s were flat too! And the cg for me looks more compelling now. There´s no way this is going to end up like Avengers or Dark Knight, but I was thinking the other day that probably a Spider-Man 4 with an angsty lizard would´ve looked almost the same except for some more cheesy and not funny humour. Garfield´s hair I get, but the previous ones weren´t Nolan´s Batman either. 

C THOMAS HOWELL BITCHES!!!

Good lords they need to pad Spidey's junk, not for mass, but to block definition!

This is the 70s live-action series with a bigger budget and a shitty costume, basically. I'd much rather they'd gone for the Japanese one. "HEY-YAY-YAY, WOW!"

 It's pretty sad that the CGI in the Spider-man movie from ten years ago is more convincing than the CGI in this one.

I kinda understand why he got the kid to put the mask on, what with all the smoke and stuff, it was to make him breath better.

Maybe you don't know this, but "gyp" is a racial slur.

It always bugs me how Spider-Man's mask is clearly not removable. The mask the kid was wearing looked like it was fabric, but when Spider-Man wears it, it's back to basketball. They always have to cut away or use CGI was Peter takes the mask off. Why can't we make a wearable mask?

In comparing the Amazing SM trailer to Dark Knight Rises; theformer had a CGI Spider-Man swinging over a CGI city, and fighting a CGILizard, while the latter had Batman physically standing on a roof top, physicallyfighting another person, and a car chase with actually cars.  

Pretty ballsy declaring itself "this summer's most anticipated film". I mean, surely Avengers was more anticipated, and even if one argues "well technically it was released in the spring" (even though most people accept the first weekend in May as the start of the summer movie season), I still think The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Expendables 2, and even Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter are more anticipated than The Amazing Spider-Man.

2 things: I'm not a casting agent; but Williem Dafoe seems like a possibly confusing choice when there are sooo many people who weren't in the 1st trilogy. And, again, the "small knives" line does NOT work, at all. I know one-liners are Spidey's thing, but in my mind, reading comics, it was done in a dry, ultra-cool, composed superhero way. In summation: Serenity Now!

At least he didn't fail to save the kid, then become racked with guilt over his death (as he is wont to do), only to have the kid appear at the end of the film as an ethereal being...

It occurs to me that they've made Spider-Bat. A re-telling of Spiderman in the style of Nolan's Batman. =|
