Much as I wanted to resist, I saw that clip with the car thief, and it's more hilarious before the knife thing, pulling the door closed like that is awesome
It made the clip with the knife awesome

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

I'm enjoying just how playful Spider-Man is now. I'm glad he comes across as a kid playing in a costume with his powers, and it'll be interesting to see how he matures into a hero.

 

[Superhero 101]

I really am liking what I see from all the clips that are being released

 

[Dethroned]

I'm liking that spidey's costume is more colorful and how it gives it that old 70's spider-man tv series feel to it. Especially with the mirrored lenses look to it. Man I really hope this movie lives up to its expectations.

Folks, the car thief scene, as it stands, makes no degree of sense whatsoever for the following reasons:

1. How did Spidey get into the back seat of a locked car before the carjacker broke into it? Does he have Nightcrawler's powers now? At least when Batman seems to appear and disappear out of nowhere, he at least has ninja skills and completely open spaces to work with.

2. Even if Spidey somehow managed to get into the car before the carjacker with his spidey speed and in complete silence, how did he know which car the carjacker would break into beforehand? I guess his spider-sense is now full-blown precognition?

3. How does the carjacker not even notice Spider-Man is in the backseat of the car? Granted it is somewhat dark, but I think it would be pretty darn easy to see somebody wearing an outlandish and brightly-colored red and blue outfit sitting in the backseat. Unless the car thief really is really that visually impaired and/or color blind. After all, he does think that Spidey is a cop initially.

4. When Spidey first webs the guy inside the car, you can see that the web attaches to both the carjacker's mouth and arm. But then in the very next cut, they've suddenly vanished. So where did the webbing go? I thought it was supposed to dissolve in an hour, not instantaneously. Nice consistency with the visual effects there, filmmakers.

5. How does Spidey get out of the back seat of the car and behind the carjacker without opening the back door or rolling down the windows? I don't remember seeing the inside light coming on which usually happens when anyone opens a car door. More teleportation powers and spidey ninja skills, I guess.

6. If this scene is taking place as rumored after Uncle Ben is killed but before he apprehends his Uncle's killer (hence why he's apparently checking the carjacker's wrist to see if he has some distinguishing mark or tattoo that Uncle Ben's killer had) then why is Spidey making with the wisecracks, as well as being a complete *****ebag besides? Spider-Man fans know that whenever someone he loves gets killed or seriously hurt, Spidey stops making jokes. If Spidey merely suspected this guy killed his Uncle, I doubt he would be toying with and bullying him like he is here.

7. When an abbreviated version of this scene showed up months earlier, Marc Webb explained that the reason why Spidey is acting the way he is at that moment is because he's "feeling drunk on his power" and "having a really good time." But if this scene is taking place after his Uncle Ben's murder, wouldn't he have stopped "feeling drunk on his power" after his Uncle was killed? I thought his Uncle's death was the very thing which taught him not to be "drunk on his power."

8. What kind of cop (even if it is a cop from New York, no offense) tries to shoot a person and nearly kills another in the process immediately after he tells the guy to freeze? Granted, Spidey is making a move towards him, somewhat, but hasn't this cop ever heard of the concept of a "warning shot?"

9. What brought the motorcycle cop there in the first place? More importantly, what brought all the other cop cars there? We didn't exactly see the motorcycle cop call for back-up. Did they all respond to shots being fired within a span of ten seconds? Were they part of some sting operation to catch the carjacker that Spidey inadvertently interfered with? Was the guy parking the car part of the sting operation? If this was a sting operation, then how did the cops know that was the car the carjacker would steal? And why go through all this effort and manpower just to catch one measly carjacker?

10. Why is Spidey--a guy who can literally leap dozens of feet in the air, climb up walls, and has devices which allow him to create ready-made ropes for him to swing on--literally running away on foot from the scene down a busy street? If he's able to somersault over that cop with such ease, what was to stop him from leaping onto the building and scampering away? Wouldn't that have been safer as opposed to running into traffic and leaping onto moving vehicles?

I know, it seems like I'm nitpicking and this is a two minute scene out of a 136 minute-long movie so we have yet to see it in it's proper context, but even so.

This has already been challenged and answered by a bunch of different people over the last few pages, therefore, I think you need to accept one of two things.

One: YOU NITPICK! MAJORLY! And no answer will be good enough for you.

Two: It isn't a documentary. SOME of the film will be slightly unbelievable.

Can you please let those points go now. It is quite boring to keep reading them. I know you think you are the only person to notice this stuff but you REALLY aren't. It seems like you're repeating them over and over because you want people to agree but really I think the main reason you are being ignored is because EVERYONE already had your skepticisms and just connected the dots themselves rather than making a huge nitpicking deal about them lol.

The guy lives to make long drawn out and pointed nitpicks and complaints about this movie, at least from what I've noticed. I suppose writing long, pointed arguments makes him feel proud, regardless if most people just ignore what he writes by this point.

So people can suspend disbelief for Batman with his 'ninja-like' skills, but not Spider-Man? Who, fyi, is meant to be ALOT faster than Batman, and can't believe that he would be fast enough to get into the car at the same time the thief does? yeah...okay.

and it was that way to play for the comedy the instant that he enters the car , he is just sitting there just waiting ...

We have to suspend our disbelief for Batman cause, well...

He's Batman! t:

 

[GuestStar2004]

well when i watch batman begins (nolans realism film) i often watch the part where batman is talking to gordon outside of his house and gordon looks away for a moment then batman is gone and i wonder how he managed to get away so quietly and how he could have done it

but i dont think you can figure it out and you aint suppost to be able too and thats the point

 

[Streetlight]

I loved how fast they made him out to be in that clip, that's what makes Spider-man amazing.

 

[Galactus123]

Not a long wait anymore!

 

[MACH]

It has been released in Japan right?

Surprised it hasn't been leaked online.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Something I realized while watching the extended clip concerning how spidey gets into the car.

People assume that spidey saw the thief breaking in and decided to act. This doesn't make sense with what he says however. Spidey says something along the lines of "if you're going to steal cars, don't dress like a car theif". This suggests that spidey realized this guy was a car theif before the guy even began to break in.

Secondly, we now see that a valet parked the car moments before the theif walks up to it, do we know that the car was unlocked for several minutes prior.

With these two points, we realize the likely series of events: spidey is on patrol and notices a suspicious guy eyeing a nice car waiting for a valet. He puts two and two together and decides to act. At some point between the car waiting for the valet, and the valet driving and parking the car, spidey hops in and hides in the back. This perfectly explains how spidey manages to bein the car before the theif gets in, and he pretty much explains that with his don't dress like a car theif line.

No, it hasn't released there yet. There was a premiere a couple of days ago but the movie opens to the GA June 29th there I believe.

look at this

scene between Gwen and Peter...no spoilers btw in this video

 

[Picard Sisko]

People are starting to worry about the carjacker scene not making sense. Honestly, its a movie. Not everything has to "Make sense." Remember in Spider-Man 2 when the nurse is being dragged on the floor, and her nails are scratching/peeling it?

And how about Doc Ock in the warehouse? Wouldn't everyone spot him staying in there for weeks/months? And what is he going to do with the money he stole? Order the parts online and have them shipped to that abandoned warehouse?

It doesn't make sense, but it is really just a movie. I try not to think about it too much or else it gets ruined. Same will go for TDK if you really try to analyze it.

Ah I see, still feels like AGES to wait. Grr.

 

[Picard Sisko]

The last days of waiting are the longest. Time flew by when there was still a year left it seems.

That's a strange transition at 11 seconds. Is that webbing or something?

 

[White_Knight191]

That's from the new featurette, "Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy" I believe.

Edit; Here's the full video.

I was never worried about it for the reasons you mentioned, but then people stArted complaining, and so I watched it again and realized that there is nothing to even try to ignore or whatever, because it's quite clear what happens.
