Ok, now where do I start with this, emmmmmm, well yeah, I've been looking forward for the first look trailer for next years "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" for ages now and the other day the very first full length trailer was released online to fans all over the world. The opening shot is just brilliant to be honest, it's just Spider-Man free falling and then web-swinging in between buildings......the usual thing you'd expect to see in a Spider-Man movie and with the advanced CGI, it's a no brainer.
Then we move into the nitty gritty stuff i.e. more details about his mother and father and the on-going fight to find out the truth. Again, some BIG action sequences are added in to keep the viewers happy but for me.....I wasn't. Yeah the action is amazing and will be in 3D but it just looks like there's too much to be honest.
There's too many villains and I know there's now going to be a "Sinister Six" movie coming our way in the next few years, just been confirmed by Sony, but I just feel as though the creators are kind of slightly remaking the underwhelming "Spider-Man 3". In that, too many villains, not enough story. From the looks of this first trailer, we have a repeat of that. Firstly, I really don't like Rhino's suit. It's the big mechanical suit from the "Ultimate Spider-Man" stories. The Rhino suit is just a MASSIVE mechanical Power Rangers MegaZord type of suit to be honest.
I wanted the classic suit. I knew that the suit would've been totally CGI because of the past couple of on-set pics with actor Paul Giamatti in a motion-capture suit, but wasn't expecting this. We only see like one shot of Rhino and that's in the image above. Other than that, the trailer is mostly taken up by Harry Osborn/Green Goblin and Electro.
Anyway, enough chat about Rhino for now. When we first get a glimpse of Dane Dehann's Harry Osborn.......shit goes down. It's like he already knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He reveals that Oscorp has had Peter under surveillance........hmmmmmm, why?! It's one of those teasers that will be answered next year I guess. Well I hope because there were somethings said in the trailers for "The Amazing Spider-Man" that never ever got mentioned in the actual film so here's hoping they don't bullshit us again or I'm out of the next one!!!
All in, Dehaan seems much more sinister in this one, a lot more than Franco ever was. Franco was nice at first but slowly became evil and dark whereas Dehaan.......BOOM, straight away from the moment we see him by the looks of it but they can edit trailers to look like that though.
We then see Chris Cooper as this movies Norman Osborn and boy he is NOTHING like Willem Dafoe's one from the original films. He walks past glass chambers where we see Vultures wings and Doc Ock's tentacles.
Dehaan's Green Goblin looks kickass. His Green Goblin sure is a real green monster rather than the one that Dafoe was like in the 2002 first film. The metal suit was cool but this green skin is a better suit seeing as it is his real skin that's green. He's like a green devil.
And here's another look at him from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" banner that was released just last week, but I totally forgot to post about it, will do it after this. His body suit is black and looks pretty similar to James Franco's Goblin suit in "Spider-Man 3".
Jamie Foxx's Electro is so awesome looking. I very much think Foxx will steal the show with his performance as the lightning bolt villain.
His action sequences looks so cool and will be great in stunning 3D mode. The only bad thing is that there's a hell of a lot of CGI from what we can see and that's what's making me worried about this new sequel. "Spider-Man 3" had that whole "fuck it, CGI all the way" problem and I honestly don't want this franchise going down the same line because one of the key things that made the first "Amazing Spider-Man" movie good is the lack of CGI, only used when needed i.e. the fight scenes with lizard when no stunt-double could possibly be used. The web-swinging scenes were mostly made with stunt-doubles with a green screen back drop. It was all mostly practical effects whereas this one doesn't look like it's going that way to be honest and that's just shit!!! Some of the shots with Spider-Man and Electro look like scenes out of a video game.....this is a movie, not a video game people.
Anyway, other than all that, the story looks like it'll be interesting because Norman Osborn mentions to Peter that they had a plan for you so obviously we're going to find out way more about his parents past and why they disappeared. Chris Cooper will rock as Norman Osborn. He's badass usually and will be even more in this even though his Norman is rumoured to be on his last legs already and has been since the last film, which was only film number 1 in the newly planned franchise. I just feel as though it doesn't give much character, I mean like there's just action, CGI, action, CGI, Parker's dad, Aunt May, CGI, action........I want more about the characters. Here's the link to the trailer, check it out for yourselves:

Now, here's what I have to say about the international trailer. The international trailer is truly amazing looking. It's got action, CGI and a lot more about the themes in the film and more about the characters. It's even got some humour just to balance things out evenly. I love this trailer a lot more. If they released this one instead of the other one, I'd have no problems.
Yeah in this one, still not keen on the over usage of CGI, but there's a lot more about the characters. I still think there's too many villains and yeah, Sony have the ultimate villain plan to build a "Sinister Six" spin-off franchise out of it but this is too much for one movie to take. Anyway, this trailer is far superior because we get a lot more insight into what the hell is going to go down in the next movie. One trailer makes the movie look super dark and over the top CGI and the other makes it look normal and the way I want the sequel to be. OH, and guess what Spider-Man calls Electro in this trailer and what I hope to have been kept in the movie.................he calls him SPARKLES!!!! That is just hilarious and so Spider-Man, which is something we don't see from the first trailer.
Here's the link to this one now:
