We’ve seen A LOT of trailers, TV spots, and more for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 so far and now we have one more “final” trailer to unload, which features quite a bit of new footage and dialogue from director Marc Webb’s superhero sequel. If you’re trying to remain spoiler free, then I’d give you some caution in watching this one, but I don’t think it will ruin anything that we don’t already suspect. I have a suspicion there are still some surprises left in this one, which has me kind of excited.

Take a look:

Here’s the updated synopsis:

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp. Directed by Marc Webb. Produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. Screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner. Screen Story by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner and James Vanderbilt. Based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

I’m liking the kind of 300-esque slow-mo vibe that’s in these trailers and it’s not because I want to see Spidey as a Spartan chopping through bad guys. Because Spider-Man is so acrobatic it can make for a dizzying experience watching him do, well, anything, so by slowing it down a bit and letting us actually see what’s happening feels like an enhancement of the experience, more so than a stylistic choice. I’m interested to see how much of that sticks in the final film. Either way, I feel much more optimistic with this web-slinging adventure than I did with the last one.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 opens on May 2, 2014
