Oh cripes!
Just caught the new Spidey teaser trailer and I have to say that it looks like a load of old shit.
Two and a half minutes is pretty laborious for a teaser, and it's not as though it's packed with the good bits, either. At least I fucking hope not!
All the voice over twaddle about "My secret" and such wore me down, even before I realised that they are going to tread worn turf with yet another origin story.
Why fucking bother? Even the most casual cinema goer gets the whole "Radioactive spider bites boy>Boy gets powers" set-up. At least that recent Hulk film had the good sense to gloss over the origin story during the opening credits, even if it did end up being the best part of the film.
The big money shot in this trailer is supposed to be the P.O.V Spidey jumping over the rooftops, but I can't have imagined how shit it looked, can I? If it was a cut-scene from a PS2 game from 2005 I'd probably think it was pretty cool, but not now.
And I'm not too keen on the new actor they've got, either. I know Peter Parker is supposed to be a bit of a geek but this new guy looks more like a confused choir boy sporting his mum's haircut.
It's obviously too early to slam this film but these early signs aren't good. No Sir!
I know it's only a teaser but they've somehow managed to get everything wrong. How can you make a trailer for a Spidey film so morbidly boring?
Rule Number 1: If want to successfully reboot the Spider-Man franchise it's probably best not to aim your new film at teenage girls.
The Dark Knight Rises will effortlessly shit all over this, you mark my words!
I... I love you.

the 3d from 1:42 looks so terrible too... You'd think at least they'd invest in that.

Too True!
I really want this thing to bomb but I think that the brain dead, inbred Transformers Crowd (TM) are going to guarantee this thing is a big success.
I thought "The Dark Knight" had set the bar.
It seems everyone is too cowardly to step up to the mantle!
