I feel that the trailer (coupled with some spoilery info we’ve seen over the past year) gives away a lot of the film, but that seems to be par for the course these days, no? With that, though, comes tons of new footage, some nice quick glimpses of the Lizard, and just an overall sense of the tone Webb is going for. I like that Spidey hasn’t lost his trademark humor amidst a world that’s certainly darker and more real than Sam Raimi’s version.
But enough talk! Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think!
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN opens July 3rd.
Synopsis: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
