USER EDITORIAL: Dissapointing Amazing Spiderman Trailer

Yea. Because I really care about the difference between Spiderman and Spider-Man. and this is coming from a guy who has JoshWilding as one word for a name.

Haha. I like your sarcasm and i hope i am wrong. I was really hoping to get exciting after seeing the trailer. But after seeing it I cannot. Thats how I feel. Come talk to me this time next year. And if I am wrong I will buy you some tacos.

Also if you read carefully all I said was that the marketing guys were aiming for a younger audience based on the trailer. Can you honestly tell me otherwise??

Failed miserably ay? Can't I come across an article that doesn't bash trailers so bad? Were you expecting an oscar worthy trailer?

I dont care that the trailer was bad. The first Dark Knight teaser didnt even have scenes. just audio.

My problem with the teaser is it makes the movie look like its meant for the new age spidey fans. under 18.

If they can do something like Transformers 3 when the dudes based jumped from the helicopters into the city I would be impressed. That was superb 3D action. for a movie coming out over 1 year later I hope they do better than that.

haha. please no musicals like spidey 3!

The teaser was different from the Raimi versions. I'll repeat the tone. It was moody and mysterious.

Not once did you see Peter talk about his parents abandoning him, yet throughout the trailer, you could feel that inner turmoil in him about it.

A teaser that can be empathetic like that to me gives a sign of a movie thats very different. And pretty fresh.

The Raimi films were made for younger audiences, it being very "comic-booky" which wasn't a bad thing. The frist Green Lantern trailer was too.

This teaser was filled with emotion. That doesn't sound like a movie aiming directly for kids -____-

As for the POV sequence. People are over-analyzing is WAAAAY too much. It clearly looks like a sequence thats made for the trailer only (first reveal of Spidey in movie). But I actually think its really pretty cool. If people don't like it, I can understand why. But the sequence has NOTHING to do with the quality of the movie. The stuff BEFORE it does.

"First, the teaser makes me feel like we are going to get a teenage drama for an extended period of time. That is not cool. Lots of scenes of developing a character everybody knows. The teaser really gives me a gut feeling this movie is meant for a younger audience."

Concidering the fact that Spider-Man WAS a teenager during his time as Spider-Man and that all of his most major problems happen when he WAS a teen. And when you said it was made for a younger audience to relate with, I say NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! Isn't that like the point of Spider-Man's creation, a great super hero anyone can relate to?

"Second, the rooftop scene reminds me of the movie doom and every other movie that tried to portray (badly) the first person experience. I don't need to see some cheesy special effects that mimic me being the webslinger. It looks fake, it looks CGI and maybe it will be cool in 3D but I would rather have that experience in a different media."

Okay I never watch any movie that utilize first person perspective of filming; but I have to say that is pretty cool. Plus this is a trailer, the use of that method of filming was meant to draw in the audience. And I like the whole feel of seeing through Spider-Man's world.

"To me this reeks of a movie aiming at a teenage audience that will try to capitilize on 3D and I am disappointed in that..."

Again, relatable audience for the film. What the [frick] is the point of making a moive, when you don't seel it to the targeted audience?

Whatever. I enjoyed it.

The rooftop scene reminded me of Mirrors edge and it looked [frick]ing epic. And the movie will make you eat your words, keep waiting.

I like the pov stuff, and if they get the fx right it can be AMAZING in 3D, also I like how this movie seems more story driven, and I like showing peters parents history

It looks a lot darker than the Raimi Spidey trailers yet you think its aimed at younger people? Besides they're more likely to make money from teen-30ish people than middle-aged in my opinion, so of course it would be marketed for them!

It seems to me that most haters of this movie grew up on the Raimi flicks which is fair enough,personally I was more disappointed (correct spelling) with Raimi's Spider-man trilogy than I was with the Star Wars prequels,in fact,I was gutted.In my opinion they sucked on every level
Of course this movie will be aimed at a younger audience,I'm nearly forty but will be there to see it as I'm a fan and have been all my life (since I could hold a comic),but not everybody is, not everybody lives in our world so they gotta put bums on seats.
Wait until it comes out then give it your treatment,how the hell can you judge a movie on it's trailer?For all you know the 'drama' sequences in the trailer could be all there is of that and the rest could be your popcorn!And whats wrong with drama?Character development is crucial to story telling and the way Raimi handled that was so rushed and generic it was all by the by.
I'm so relieved that Chris Nolan turned super hero movies on their head with Batman, and that now every studio and director is now approaching the genre in a more mature way,if you want the old costume,no character development,and drama stick to the animations.

I hope they don't make him look like some brooding emo boy from twilight
"I have bad childhood!! I hate the world!!" thing, because that's not peter parker

Yeah He always had problems, he bullied in school, become orphan and such but he never give up and always optimistic in life

he had good foster parents like his uncle and aunt that cared and loved him and taught him the best things

he's the heart of marvel universe, you can't change that

Actually I am not a fan of any spidey movie to date. 1 and 2 were ok at best. 3 was horrible.

Hey guys, been reading this site for years...but decided to join...especially to comment on this particular article.

"First, the teaser makes me feel like we are going to get a teenage drama for an extended period of time. That is not cool. Lots of scenes of developing a character everybody knows."

You're kidding, right? How many times have we said movies have been complete garbage because we don't take the time to develop the characters (Venom in Spider-man 3, anyone)??? It doesn't matter if its a new character or one that we've read for years...sure we love the action of spider-man, but it's really the character of Peter Parker/Spider-man that has made this hero so successful.

Whether you're a long time fan or a first timer, you have to develop the character so it fits within the confines of the film, or else we'll just have another Daredevil film where there is no character development and no dimensions or layers making a pretty dull protagonist (sorry if anyone is a diehard fan of the DD movie).

It is a summer movie and IT IS TRYING TO APPEAL TO TEENAGERS! What are you guys expecting it to be?

'My problem with the teaser is it makes the movie look like its meant for the new age spidey fans. under 18.'
How is that new age?It's straight(ish) outta the comics dude,I would say Raimi's turd versions of Spidey were more about pleasing this and that,I reckon this trailer would appeal to a target audience of...fans.
