 | Amazing Spider-Man trailer leaked |
The trailer is very impressive and evocative of the tragedy of losing his parents that Parker survived, something that the Raimi trilogy side-stepped. We see Parker as a moody and awkward teen who is pitied by his friends and stumbles upon a scientific breakthrough during a visit to Curt Connors' lab. Bitten by a radioactive spider, he is changed. Rather than showing the new Spider-Man from the point of view of a roving camera leaping around him, we are instead given an astounding first person POV as Parker pounces around the rooftops of Manhattan, only obtaining a view of the hero when he leaps in front of a mirrored building.
A newcomer to directing action drama, Webb has stated that there will be less CGi work in his Spider-Man film and more live action stunts, giving the movie a different feel than the previous versions. I'm pleased as punch that the web shooters are back and look forward to seeing what the Lizard will look like on the big screen.
This version of Peter Parker is far nerdier and more withdrawn than the one we had seen played by Toby Maguire which is good. Nothing against the previous trilogy but if you are going to re-boot a franchise make some changes. Having seen Andrew Garfield in the Red Riding trilogy, I'm impressed by his acting chops and know that if he is given good material he will shine and own this part.
The Amazing Spider-Man, directed by Marc Webb, opens July 3, 2012.
