It's all about foresight ladies and gentlemen. Raimi did good things ok. I'm not going to Raimi bash right now.

But he did leave a lot for showing growth of Peter Parker. What Batman Begins did, before you all start roaring about "dark and gritty" was give DEPTH!

I'd say that in later films, they didn't push Peter as his character as much as they could have. He never really grew out of his "awkward teen" phase. He never became the Peter Parker that actually had more women problems than he knew how to handle during his college years. He was still a bit too much of a pushover and a dork. But in the first Raimi film, I think there was more than enough depth.

And just because we're gonna see Peter's parents doesn't mean much to me, when measured against the fact that Aunt May and Uncle Ben have always been the more meaningful parental figures in Peter's life. And the sad irony is, this trailer doesn't even showcase them in any real capacity. Uncle Ben's death is the whole reason Peter even became a crime-fighter in the first place. You're selling Peter's motivation from the wrong selling point by putting more focus on his relationship with his biological parents than the Aunt and Uncle who actually raised him, and the Uncle who ultimately died, because Peter monetarily turned his back on one of the most important messages his uncle tried to impart upon him.

What I saw from this trailer was we are about to see some actual depth to Peter Parker. And realism. This movie looks like... a real movie if that makes any sense.

I suppose. Raimi's film had an old-timey technicolor sheen about them, but I always felt like that fit Spider-Man as a character.

and mmaybbee more Ultimate than Amazing. IDK.

Fine by me. The Marvel film universe seems like a midway point between the main and Ultimate universe anyway. It'll probably be half-and-half.

We know at this point that Uncle Ben in the movie isn't going to be an aged hippie as in the UU. And Gwen is obviously MUCH more in line with the main universe.

(I have a soft spot for Ultimate Gwen).

The good news about this teaser trailer is that, on a technical standpoint, it's put together and edited very well. It does an excellent job at establishing the character of Peter Parker, showing him to be a shy, awkward, and very lonely young man who is still trying to cope with feeling abandoned by his parents after their death.

But the tone of the trailer? It's moody, it's brooding, and takes itself way too seriously. Until you get to point-of-view sequence of Spidey jumping and swinging over the city accompanied by a swelling orchestral score, this doesn't come across like it's a film about Spider-Man; this comes across like David Cronenberg's The Fly as imagined and written by Stephanie Meyer--a teenage horror flick (in this case body horror) in which the lead is yet another angst-ridden, insecure, passive-aggressive loner.

Granted, I get that Spider-Man does have elements of teenage angst and isolation in it's roots, but it also conveys a sense of fun. And it's that sense of fun that this trailer sorely lacks and I'm afraid will not be in the final product.

SPIDER-MAN: BLACK OPS

Wtf?

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Since..well..I think that Marc will use more Ultimate than Amazing style. So that's why I said that. Well it is hard to tell but we will see about that...in next July.

The only time I saw something disappointing in low quality (moniter) and the got blown away with the high quality version (cinema) was avatar. I'm hoping for the same turn around with the POV

SPIDER-MAN: BLACK OPS

First person spiderman VG. Hmm... would that work?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The, lol

 

[Anno_Domini]

Ultimate - younger Aunt May

Amazing - nerdy Gwen

Anything else different?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

First person spiderman VG. Hmm... would that work?

They'dp robably make it into a stupid/cheap Kinect game. I hate the Kinect phase, tbh. What's so bad about a video game controller?

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

^ Haha me too.

Mhm. Yeah agreed.

 

[Marvel Spider]

The first movie game had a cheat code where you could play the game in first person.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Ultimate - younger Aunt May

Amazing - nerdy Gwen

Anything else different?

Peter's age - Amazing. Only 15 in UU and there's no way in hell Garfield can pass for 15.

 

[spidermanJLA!~]

I played the kinect in best buy. Its REALLY annoying. You always have to line yourself up and such. Sometimes we take technology to the extreme!

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Even though the movie looks great, I still hope Spidey is a wise cracker.

 

[Spider-Kid]

Lizard wasn't in the trailer; that's what made it bad. I mean, like, the theme of the trailer was WAY too serious, and like, no Catwoman? I mean, COME ON! Is this LOOSELY based, or DOWN-TO-EARTH based? Plus, no Venom. I mean, without Venom, Spider-Man is just SUCKISH, Stupid, and moronic, and has no meaning whatsoever. Plus, whatever happened to the begining on the 606 comics? Come on, Sony, stop being asshats. I therefore rate the Spider-Man trailer;


4/10 for action

1.5/10 for atmosphere

5/10 for acting

Total Score: 3.2

Wasn't Spidey 15 in Amazing too when he became Spider-Man?

I played it in Best Buy as well and it took a picture of my face.....that's it.

Now THAT game was fun....for its time.

 

[Robin91939]

What I get from it:


Peter's parent's DID work for Oscorp (like in the leaked plot summary).

Gwen and Connors work at Oscorp.

When Peter finds the briefcase with his father's things, he discovers that he and his mother worked for Oscorp and he gets an internship there to investigate the company, and find out more about his parents....this leads to the spider bite.

There probably IS a whole conspiracy as a sub-plot to Peter's parents and their deaths....and I think we will definitely get mentions of Norman, and he'll, in fact, be responsible in some way for Richard and Mary's deaths...

Peter's age - Amazing. Only 15 in UU and there's no way in hell Garfield can pass for 15.

I have no idea where I'd read it or how reliable it was, but I read somewhere that Andrew's Peter is 17 in this movie.
