Huh, well if there were ever any doubts about how this whole thing plays out , there really aren't any now :P. Looks like the only part of this film that hasn't been shown in trailers is the very end.

It looks like it's split into many short vignettes rather then 2 or 3 main acts. Like, it's a 6 issue mini series comic brought to the big screen. In issue 1 we are shown what peter and spiderman have been up to since the last film, spidermans conflict in this chapter is stopping what seems to be a simple robbery by russian gangster Aleksei. Peter is still dating gwen despite her fathers dying wish and a childhood friend - Harry Osborne has arrived back in town. In chapter 2 , Harry discovers that peter and his whole family have been under surveillance for ages with no clear reason why, Peter get's aunt may to tell him some stuff about his parents that leads to that underground subway lab being found and he figures out what REALLY happened to his parents (the plane they were on was blown up by oscorp because pete's folks knew too many world changing secrets). This chapter would be almost entirely exposition with no real conflict. Chapter 3 would see spiderman save Professor Max Dillon, another researcher at oscorp who was looking into ways to harness biometric energy for ... reasons ?. In peters life, the secrets of his family weigh heavily upon his soul and at this point when he feels his worst , gwen reveals that she's moving to europe to go to a fancy university. Chapter 4 would see Alexei gifted with the Rhino armor after being broken out of jail , there is a hit put out on spiderman by oscorp and this is just one attempt to deal with the spiderman menace :P, obviously spiderman saves the day in a big expensive action sequence but meanwhile at oscorp , a terrible accident has occured and Max has been transformed into elektro. Chapter 5 would see Harry and his father Norman scheming to stop spiderman once and for all , they use Max , now Elektro to attempt this and somehow they've also uncovered some of the parker parents secrets. These secrets lead to norman osborne injecting an untested formula into himself in an attempt to prolong his weakening life (you'll recall he was sick in the first film). Hell maybe harry helps him do this. Somehow in all this mess, the bad guys figure out who spiderman is and go after those who are close to him (gwen stacey but hell maybe aunt may too ?). Chapter 6 , the final chapter would see the big expensive fight scene between spiderman and electro and after things are seemingly back to normal, Norman shows up as the green goblin, during this conflict gwen is possibly injured or killed but norman remains intact to fight again another day mwa ha ha ha. Epilogue - Peter reveals to aunt may that he's well, spiderman but he vows to never endanger anyone close to him again in typical fashion. Pre credits stinger we have Green Goblin talking to 2 other scientists about a new project - and something something sinister six for amazing 3. Post credits stinger - peters house, the doorbells rings and aunt may calls him down, announcing that it's the new neighbor "what did you say your name was again ?" camera pans over from peter coming down the stairs to the doorway , attractive redheaded girl standing there "Mary Jane". Or , I don't know, find a way to weasel the classic "face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot" line into that scene

Of course some of that above mess could be out of order but based on of the trailers, 90% of those scenes WILL happen in the movie. Also 2016 will see Amazing Spiderman 3 .. hell if sony is really desperate you might see it get split into 2 films over 2 summers.
 
I feel like I'm alone in this, but even though the trailers have shown a lot, by the time I'm sitting in the theater and watching this movie, I'll have forgotten most of the individual scenes and just enjoy the movie. I won't be thinking, "Oh, we're at this part, based on what I saw in the second trailer x is going to happen."

Nah, I'll just enjoy the movie I'm watching like I always do.

I'm with you. I'll probably notice the Rhino getting hit with the sewer cover but besides that I probably won't even put together any pieces while I'm sitting in the theater.

it's a 142 min film

i doubt we've seen the best parts :) and yeah, i've watched the new trailer once. will probably see it again because of cap 2. but by the time the movies out, i'll be engaged, and not looking to piece it together. lol.

I'm usually this way too. Trailers splice together different visuals and audio out of sequence, and even then there are things that get cut before it ends up in the theater.

Anyway, this is the best trailer of the ones so far. I'm a fan of Spider Man and I like all the films for different reasons. I don't think I'll see this in the theater, but I'm definitely interested. It will probably be better than the last few super hero films (not including caps).
 
Looks amazing!

I'm a little surprised that they actually completely changed some of the shots in post form the initial trailers. Like in those, SPider-man was just swinging a manhole cover with his hands to on a web in the final version.

Does this happen often, where scenes are just completely redone?

It gives hope that they actually thought about things and improved them.

Another instance is the line Harry gives "WE can change the world", where it used to be "We can LITERALLY change the world." (which is a superfluous use of the word "literally".


One thing I didn't like was the opening line "You know what I like about being SPider-Man? Everything!"

He's supposed to be somewhat of a reluctant hero, so it kind of goes against his chracter, but I do guess it depends on the context the line is given in the film (like it could be jokingly during a battle with an enemy). IT just seems a bit out of place at the start.

Sounds like the typical "super hero gets ego inflated, think they can beat everyone ..... stronger evil show up and gives the hero an ego lesson" =P

I don't think it sounds anything like that, probably just a throway joke line.

But then again, if it does have some arc and character development like that, that would be cool.
 
He does enjoy being Spider-Man at some point.

I wonder how much time has passed since the events of the first film.

Oh I can understand him liking elements of being spider-man, but the danger, the risk, the reasons etc, should always be on his mind. SO yeah, either it's a joke or it's a character arc.
 
I think anyone admitting that they liked Spider-Man 2 and 3 over ASM is inadvertently:

1. Admitting they've never actually read a Spider-Man comic once in their lives

2. Admitting that they grew up alongside the original SM movie trilogy and as such believe that's how the characters should be represented.

I probably like Spider-man 2 over Amazing Spider-man, because the story has interesting character arcs and interaction.

I'm a big spider-man comic fan growing up (though I don't follow them now), but being SUPER faithful to the character isn't something I really need in adaptations. They just have to get the core fundamentals right.

We've seen images of graduation, right? Did they ever say what grade he was in? Juniors, right? Something like that when Gwen was introduced Peter at Oscorp. Probably making that up.

I'd guess a year, maybe two.

yeah, this. Okay, so the original two films weren't ultra-faithful to the comics. I don't care - they got the fundamentals, and then actually worked as films too. ASM was just shit, so whether it wasn't or wasn't faithful to the comics is by the by when I'm busy thinking "meh".

Which they did not in any way with the original trilogy. Peter Parker is not an Emo nerd simp. Mary Jane isn't a wooden wallflower. Norman Osbourne isn't a dashing debonair playboy. All 3 main characters casted and acted against type. At least in the first Spider-Man Peter and MJ have at least some fraction of sexual tension between one another.

Characters matter, ESPECIALLY in comic book films where the plot is often "i'm gonna beat you up" simpleton fair. Characterization is why Iron Man was awesome and Transformers sucked. The crane shit was stupid in Spider-Man but it ultimately didn't matter because

1. It's an effing comic book movie and shit like that happens all the time in the comics.

2. They nailed the characters.

Seeing Spider-Man act like Spider-Man and not some nerd crying about his lost Amazon order is pretty important.

Actual movie spoiler from IGN:
The movie did starts off after graduation, and Gwen moving away for further studies.

So...I guess you're right.

I won't disagree.

They did nail the character personalities in Amazing spider-man more than Raimi's trilogy, but it will have a place in my heart for being the first Spider-man movie on screen that I cared for.

And while their characters are wholly different, I still found that interpretation to get the story arc, that is until the train wreck of the third movie.

I still like this new take as well.

I have a friend who LOATHES it, but I love the comic book feel. Like the whole character of the Lizard and his crazy plot makes no 'real' sense, but it makes 'comic book' sense, if you get my drift. That's why I like it.

It's like the first two X-men movies, where Magneto has a crazy plot to turn everyone into mutants. That's really a dumb idea, but as far as comic books go, it's fun, and I enjoy that.

What were their impressions? Not that it matters because usually journalist always give good impressions.

I don't want to watch because for some reason they couldn't post a non spoiler vid.

They like it of course, but they only saw 33 minutes of it and seems to be bunch of good stuff thrown together.
And Rhino in suit
will be in the later part of the movie

I thought the first movie had a very "comic book feel" to it, but in a more detrimental way. It's editing is very comic-y, the way it was shot, the writing in a lot of cases. TASM captured the fun-loving, action side of comics very well, while SM seemed to draw mostly the awkward, stilted side. They were so focused on getting the spider-man comic on screen, they forgot to make it a more enjoyable movie to watch (in my opinion. Those were my impressions upon rewatching it last week).
 
Is it me, or are the jokes more cheesy than the ones in raimis trilogy?

In my opinion, more in line with the comics, and better delivered.

The comics are cheesy in the same way, make no mistake. But delivery is king here and I think Garfield wins hands-down
 
Well, I thought the most comic-y movie was the Ang Lee Hulk.

Look! It had panels in shot! Can't get more comic-y than that!

Goddammit. They did it to me again.

I adored Spider-man growing up and inner kid in me was just giddy seeing this trailer. I love you Spider-man!

This looks to be what The Amazing Spider-man wanted to be but was too shackled by it's origin story retread.

Yeah, I was starting to come to that conclusion based off the car chase scene. Didn't see how
he'd transition into the suit during that scene.

Haha, idk if I'll go that far, but I definitely think there's some truth to the second point. That said I think that SM2 is by far the best movie in that trilogy, and is better than the majority of superhero movies. I don't think I'd put it on the untouchable masterpiece pedestal that some of Gaf does though. The bias is strong too, some people have already made up their minds.
 
remember when Peter is coming out of the broom closet to deliver pizza to that fine secretary?

that was a fun chuckle. also the "hey, he stole that guy's pizza!" line. And Peter's boss exclaiming "GO" to him for the order since Peter's staring at him dumbfounded.

fuck that shit

1) i don't like the run of the ultimate series, love the silver age stuff - try reading it some time, you might get to see where the ultimate series pulls inspiration from
2) following comics doesn't excuse a bad movie through and through
3) some things work better when adapted to a new medium
4) Tony Stark isn't a raging alcoholic at all times. When are they going to make a REAL Iron Man movie? - See how fucking dumb that sounds?
 
Going through all these Spider-Man threads I get the distinct impression that I'm in a small minority that REALLY enjoyed the first Amazing Spider-man. Maybe my impressions will be different when I rewatch it before the sequel, but I came out of the theater two times with positive impressions.
 
Well the action is going to be top notch that's for sure. I think I'm going to love this film. It seems like it's going to literally be a comic book turned into a movie. Loving how agile spider man is in this one.

Watching the ign impressions also got me pumped. Some of my questions were answered and I feel a lot better about the film.
 
That trailer was hella hype, though they sure did show a lot in doing so. Time to go on media blackout for this movie, though it may be too late.

You can't be in that much of a minority if a sequels was greenlit.

Then again enjoyment and sales don't necessarily go hand in hand.

For the record, I enjoyed it too.

ASM feels exactly like what it was intended to be. A film that was made in order for a studio to hold on to the rights.

ASM2 on the other hand now feels like they're legitimately trying to be…. well amazing, har har har...

I both agree and disagree. It was definitely made so Sony could keep the rights, but most of the baggage ASM had seemed to stem from it being the origin story again rather than necessarily being a rushed production. It was a groundwork movie, and while that held it back, I felt it did a good job for being more or less just that.
 
I'll never understand why they wanted to redo the origin story. One thing I really dislike about superhero films. The Incredibles worked perfect without one.

When Sony came to Webb, he himself thought the reboot was a dumb idea lol.

http://variety.com/2014/biz/news/sxsw-marc-webb-thought-resurrecting-spider-man-franchise-was-stupid-idea-1201128294/

He was presented with a script that wasn't an origin story, and declined it because he wasn't feeling it. They showed him the origin one and he back it. I'm sure Sony had a hand in it, but make of that what you will. Lol.

There's also some other good interviews of him acknowledging the faults of TASM, and his experience in SFX work and whatnot. He seems to have learned a lot more this time around, and regretted playing it so safe and by the numbers in the first film. No origin story allowed them to have a lot more fun with this film.

Yup. The Incredible Hulk was also great for not making us go through 30 minutes of Banner in a lab doing his science thing before he turned into the Hulk. ASM could have explained his origins in the opening credits as well and it would have given them more time to develop the lizard.

That said I am also in the small minority here that enjoyed ASM.

That's because TIH was a semi-sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk. It picked up where Hulk left off; Banner in Brazil.
