Let's hope we can trust their confidence and hope that this film is given a fair chance.

did anybody attend C2E2? they had a panel for The Amazing Spider-Man comics and mentioned how fans can expect new stories involving the lizard around the time of the film.

the storyline is called: "NO TURNING BACK"

I'm really interested in seeing peters relationship with aunt may in this.

Me too! Seeing Garfield portray the Peter role, is something I'm just as anxious to see, as I am to see his spidey portrayal! I can't wait to see his interactions with Uncle Ben & his Aunt May!...

Unlike Rosemary Harris, I actually LIKE Sally Field, very much! She's a great actor. Loved her ever since I saw her as Betty Mahmoody in the classic, 'Not without my Daughter'. Where funny enough, she's playing along side Mr. Alfred Molina - aka. Doc Ock, in SM-2!t: Anyways. I will no doubt NOT find Sally's Aunt May to be irritating, like I did with Rosemary's portrayal (with all due respect).

The casting of Sally and Sheen, is perfect!

Im still wonder why the casts name isnt on the GODDAMN POSTER

I'm actually missing that too! But, I have a strong feeling that we'll be getting a final poster, with all characters present in it. Something along the lines of the Iron Man theatrical poster(s). And I'm sure we'll get the cast listed on that one... If not, that's just weird! It's kinda missing, I think... The newest two posters are cool. But somehow they STILL only feel like teaser posters to me.

Yeah same!

Hopefully, well get one Peter with his Spidey mask off standing up with Lizard behind him in the sewers.

Then title, name on top.

That would be cool t:

Come to think of it. Did Sony even make just one poster for spidey 1,2,3 where the cast was listed on top??? I actually don't think so. Maybe that's an indication that they won't do it with this one either? that's a shame, if so.

It would be funny if Webb trolled the haters of the suit by having spidey make his mast out of a red basketball t:

This movie is about realism right?

Peter is reminded of the way basketball bounces from the ground, so he gets this amazing idea: Make the mask out of a basketball, so when he falls on his face, the head would just simply bounce off the ground

This yet again shows Peter's outstanding intelligence

....If you wore a basketball on your head and smashes your head on the ground it WOULD BLOODY HURT!!!!

Your head wouldnt bounce....

Do any of you think sony would have done itself a better service by delaying a spider-man reboot a few years and potentially having a bigger hit on it's hand?

The reaction i've felt in theaters when the trailer has played has ranged from muted to confused. The fact is there have been 3 spiderman films in the last 10 years and the last one was not very well received.

There has not been enough time for a public longing for a spider-man film imo. It took batman a good 8 years before they attempted to reboot which was probably the least amount of time they could expect for the film to be a success. 5 years in too short and i think sony will find that out.

it really is. don't drag them in this nonsense, they're too pure for that. And more importantly than that, I figure there are a lot of people who spend so much time on message boards and the internet in general that they can't separate this world from real life. Regular fans who don't talk about this stuff everyday or dissect every picture or every second of a trailer are excited for it because it's spider-man, it's a summer flick and it'll be the fourth of July. This isn't some unknown property with no cache or a small cache, it's spider-man. Will it make as much as spider-man 3 or the dark knight or dark knight rises or avengers? probably not but that doesn't mean it'll make 100 million worldwide either. If it makes 3 or 4 million worldwide, or definitely 5, that's a success. It doesn't need to break records to be a success, just be a success period. I know some on here harp on the marketing but again, it's April, the flick comes out in July. They've done as much as they probably should by now and once May and June comes, we'll probably be sick of Spidey by then. Bottom line though, don't let the internet world fool you because if that was the case, The Cabin in the woods would've been the number one movie last week (loved it btw)

With a budget of 150-200 million, it definitely needs to make more than 500 million to be a success. Remember, the studio only sees about 50% of the gross.

Didnt sound like it.
