Concept Art For An Awesome Deleted Scene From "The Amazing Spider-Man"

The fight scene above looks like it could have been awesome to see in action on the big screen. I wonder why it never made it into the final cut of the film, or even get filmed and put into the deleted scenes section.

My Spoiler Free Review Of "The Amazing Spider-Man"

I know I haven't done a review on well anything in ages, so I thought I'd start them again. So here's my review of "The Amazing Spider-Man" and yes it's going to be spoiler free. 
Well what can I say, the film was was pretty amazing after all. It stood on it's own grounds and hasn't copied anything from the previous films. It was darker and more brutal when it came to the fight scenes. It had it's sad moments, it had it funny moments, it even had it's bloody shocking moments and well obviously, it had it's outstanding moments. Visually it was absolutely stunning. There's less CGI, and even when that was used, it was well better than the first film away back 10 years ago. I feel that the films director, Marc Webb gave the film some true realism, kind of like Christopher Nolan's "Batman" franchise. Now I'm not comparing it to that totally, but it sticks to that type of tone, look and feel.
New Spidey, Andrew Garfield was so, well more human than Tobey McGuire's Spidey/Peter Parker. Once he became Spidey, he was a lot cockier,but come on.....surely that's allowed. Cocky is fun, whereas McGuire's still stayed "all goody too shoes" on us. At times you felt more sorry for him, especially near the end, but I ain't saying nothing there because this is a "spoiler free" review. 
When it comes to miss Emma Stone, well I can't say anything bad about Stone playing the very blonde and sexy Gwen Stacey, because she is a saint and I love her. All joking aside, the chemistry between her and Garfield's Peter Parker was convincing, even more convincing than the chemistry between McGuire's Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane Watson, which is reportedly appearing in the sequel to this reboot. Not Dunst, just the MJ character. I really hope Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets the role. 
When it comes to the films main plot, I really don't want to give much away, but it's so well put together, that when it comes to the end.............you seriously wish it wasn't, much like "Avengers Assemble". The origins of Parker and his parents play a big part in the film and this is where Dr Curt Connors comes in to the story. Connors is played by Brit, Rhys Ifans. Connors knows something about Parkers past and more about his dad than anyone, so he's got much to tell him and well keep from him as you'll find out. Again, like I said, I don't want to give much away. Just go and see it and enjoy it like I did.
If I was to compare it to the first three films, I'd definitely say that this was much much better than the third, an upgrade from the very first and well not as good as the second one, when it comes to the lead villain, but that's okay because the rest of the film was bloody brilliant. I'd definitely give it 9/10, because I didn't really feel as though Rhys Ifans was convincing enough. I felt sorry for him at times, but he could have been a weeeee bit better for me to give it the full 10. 

Over all this truly is a fantastic reinvention of a much loved franchise and I hope people love it as much as I did. If it does as well as hoped, a sequel will definitely definitely definitely be swinging around the corner, well even though it's already happening, but then again it could have got cancelled if this one was crap!!!

Webb Might Not Be Back To Direct Spidey Sequel!

The director of "The Amazing Spider-Man", Marc Webb has mentioned that he may or may not be back to direct the 2014 planned sequel to his upcoming Spidey 3D reboot. He said, "Well, it's a long ... People ask about the sequel and I'm like, (Well, you know, I don't know if I want to do that, but I love the process.) I love Andrew and Emma. But it's like asking someone who has just given birth, "Do you want to get pregnant again?"
Surely he'll come back for the sequel and if it's lucky, the third part. He can make this his trilogy, like Christopher Nolan and well ex-Spider-Man director, Sam Raimi. Both directors stayed on for a whole trilogy and have their signature move and direction with their trilogy. I assume Webb will have his too, so why spoil it and leave after one film. Someone new could come on and ruin the second film for all of us. I generally think that directors should stay on and direct sequels of their first film.

New 4-Mintue Preview Of "The Amazing Spider-Man"

On Monday night, the Americans were treated to a brand new 4-minute preview trailer of "The Amazing Spider-Man" during the adverts of one of their shows. It's pretty incredible looking. The biggest majority of it is just the 3rd trailer that was released a few weeks back. The first minute and a half is this awesome bridge scene featuring Spider-Man saving some kid from a hanging burning car while the Lizard is going off his head and destroying everything that's in his way. IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!
Here's the link to the video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/16AwVWvjQhY

The Third And Final Outstanding Trailer For "The Amazing Spider-Man" Is Here!

I was waiting all day yesterday to see this new and final trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man" film. It finally hit the net last night and OH MY FUCKING GOD what an outstanding trailer. We see even more of the new Spidey in action. We even get more of Lizard, but still only quick flashes of him fighting Spider-Man, but still fucking EPIC!!!
I seriously hope this film is great. I looks amazing, but comic book fans have been fooled with films in the past. OH GOD PLEASE!!! 
Here's the link to the YouTube trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7nWNkAIT34

The New "Amazing Spider-Man" Trailer Has Landed!

This new trailer is fucking outstanding!!!! This is the new "Spider-Man" that I'm glad we have. The new footage is amazing, pardon the pun. It looks great. The cast look great. I love the fact that we still don't get a full look at Rhys Ifans's Lizard. We're still teased with some shots of him.
Love the fact that Captain George Stacey has a bigger role in this film. He really wants to take down Spidey in this new film. Loving the CGI of Spidey. Not so much CGI by the looks of it, which is good, because the previous films, I think, used too much CGI.
