That is exactly how I feel about it, wolfman.
I can't believe they actually did this to the spiderman series, it's a crime I tell you! A crime!
He's been my favorite super hero ever since I was a little kid...
THIS is why I hate the twilight crowd, the stupid people who are now in charge of writing and directing movies are trying to get THEM to come see it.
I mean, I thought having Peter be super emo in the 3rd movie of the last series was bad??? So how come he's emo all over again? I didn't hear one joke or anything that was remotely spiderman-ish in that entire trailer. If it wasn't for the costume I wouldn't even have known which superhero he was supposed to be! You failed again SONY! :mutter:
GIVE ME BACK MY SPIDEY!!! :rant:
(I know he's a fictional character, relax... I'm just rather P.Oed about this right now.)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

Since when are jokes suppose to be important to a trailer that gives us the basic storyline?

I love the Spider-Man quips (preferably from Spectacular Spider-Man) and I really hate the emo hair.

And I'm pretty sure that first person thing at the end was for the trailer. And even if it's in the the movie, It'll probably only be once....at the end.

So, wearing a hoodie with its hood up = being emo? Because otherwise I'm not following you guys on that statement.

Honestly, the trailer was going for a certain mood, and I think that's why they didn't show the humorous aspect of Peter's character. But they hinted at it with Gwen telling him, "You'd better not get me in trouble." That, to me, hints at a prankster kind of feel to the guy. Showing a quipping Spiderman would break the mood of the trailer, but I doubt it was an accurate portrayal of every aspect of the character. People expect their Superheroes to be dark. When most people see a funny trailer, they expect a comedy. The trend of superhero movies has been toward the gritty and down-to-earth, and that's what's selling the tickets, so that's what they decided to focus on.

There is nothing in this trailer that is emo, nor does any of it look like Twilight. What specifically seems like Twilight to you?

Peter Parker being a nerd isn't entirely accurate. He liked science and was picked on. That doesn't make him a nerd, as it's not like they showed him playing DnD or reading fantasy books. Besides, nerd culture is pop-culture these days. Being a nerd no longer makes you an outsider, so I would not be surprised to see him not doing too many nerdy things.

As far as quips go: That's two Spidey jokes in what amounted to about five minutes of footage. Two more than is found in the entire Raimi Trilogy.

Absolutely nothing in that trailer reminded me of Twilight nor anything related to being emo. There were no constipated stares of love nor pasty sparkly spiders. There is nothing remotely eno about Peter Parker's appearance or actions in that trailer.

This. Peter Parker was a socially awkward geek in the comics, not a nerd.

I don't really get it. Why are they rebooting Spiderman? The last trilogy isn't that old. Peter pulling web out of what looked like a giant zit was uncalled for... It made my scalp crawl.

Why the reboot? Because, most business men want this...

I think it was Phil that posted the reason earlier in this thread? It boils down to, the actors for the original trilogy were only contracted for the three movies, and after how much criticism the third film got, most of them probably weren't interested in coming back for another one.

And so, they figured why not, just reboot the whole series since they'd have to recast pretty much everyone anyway. As to why they're so eager to make another one, that's because Sony will continue to hold the rights to the Spider-Man movies hostage so long as they keep making the movies.

Which means Spider-Man will never be in an Avengers movie. Same for the Fantastic Four or X-Men (because Fox owns those).

I see. Just seems a bit silly to me still. I wonder if they'll reboot X-men since the third movie sucked.

So, they're going to have a bit of an incomplete cast for the Avenger's movie? :\

Actually, it's because Sam Raimi didn't like the script that was written for the fourth film. Sam Raimi left, believing he didn't have enough time to make the project creatively as possible. Tobey Maguire thus no longer wanted to work on the film if Sam wasn't on the series anymore.

You never saw any ads for X-Men First Class?

As for what Ferb said, ah, okay. I think that was part of it too, but I remember hearing that the chick who played Mary Jane (whose name escapes me at the moment) at least didn't want to do any more movies either way.

I saw First Class and it wasn't a remake of any of the three movies... But it was way better than X Men 3.

It wasn't a remake it was a prequel setting up a new (hopefully better) series of films.

That's...that's what a reboot is. When you take an existing franchise and start it over as if the previous movies didn't happen... o.O

Oops. I misread Fragger's post. No wonder I was confused. So the Xmen Trilogy is being abandoned the the three Spiderman movies? I thought First Class was just another Origins story adding to the Trilogy. They even take a scene right out of the first movie.

Definitley gonna see It cuz I LOVE comic books spider man included, but I still think the casting was perfect in the first one, I think Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker isn't as close to the character as Tobey Maguires.

This looks like it will be pretty good. I like how it's called "The Amazing Spiderman", and how Perer is skinny in this one. Hopefully this movie will have plenty of quips to go around. I just hope not too much time is spent on the origin story, as everyone knows it already. And I really hope that the first person perspective, which looks like it was taken straight from Mirrors Edge isn't done in the actual movie.

And I seriously don't get the whole 'emo' thing. Nothing about the trailer says 'emo' to me. And the reason Parker was 'emo' in the last movie was because of the symbiote, wasn't it?

edit: Yes!, finally the Lizard is going to be the main antagonist. I've always been hoping to see that. And I really like how Spidey has mechanical web shooters this time.

I think it'll be cool though. I can't wait till when they release some footage of the lizard and more shots of Spidey swinging around the city. Glad they have Gwen Stacy this time that'll be interesting.

Hey wait if they have Gwen Stacy does that mean she.....SPOILERS.... Never mind!

I'm, sadly to say, not a comic guy. I don't really follow them and I don't know what I should want the movies to be like, but I do know one thing via spidy fan friends... And hearing Gwen Stacy say "I'm in trouble" was the best part of that trailer, I guess, from that perspective.

I'm glad they're not going back to Green Goblin... Anyhow. I never viewed "First Class" as a reboot, considering how they tied it into the first Xmen movie, but at the same time the "Xavier becomes paralyzed" thing was... drastically different than the trilogy, so... I just thought it was a particularly egregious *sip* disregard for the story they'd established... I guess a partial reboot makes sense, then.

At first I was very skeptical about this movie. But so many things have moved in a positive direction and I really think I'm going to love this movie. Mechanical web-shooters. That was my biggest problem with the original trilogy. Mechanical web-shooters, there's nothing I enjoy saying more than mechanical web-shooters.

I couldn't care less about the web shooters, the movie still looks awesome. Not a comic book fan at all and I avoid most comic book movies but I'm looking forward to this one after that. I like this spiderman a lot better than Toby Maguire TBH. Just from what I've seen anyway. Toby never impressed me and there was something annoying in the way he delivered his lines and stuff. This guy is a lot more how I pictured Peter and doesn't sound so annoying.
