Tease Me, Baby! – Amazing Spider-Man 2
It’s on the record that I wasn’t exactly enamored with the first Amazing Spider-Man. Despite the film having a great cast who tried their best with the shoddy material they were given, they couldn’t elevate what was essentially a mess of a film. With the same creative team back for this sequel, I’m not exactly hopeful for what’s in store.
But, with three new bad-guys to contend with (including Oscar perennial Paul Giamatti) maybe things can improve? I mean, who ever thought we’d see Rhino in the movies?
The first full length trailer has been released today. Fingers crossed…
– A Touch of Cloth
We open the trailer on something I found rather cool, Spidey’s costume flapping in the wind.
It’s only when I saw it that I realised I hadn’t seen it before. It’s always so skin tight, it’s a nice effect.
– Oh No, Rhino
Making Rhino’s costume a mechanical suit like his Ultimate series incarnation rather than a big rubbery one from the original comics is probably the wiser route.
Although having Rhino in the movie in general is probably an odd move.
– Daddy Issues
It seems that everything is the fault of Peter’s dad. Remember, that guy we don’t know.
I look forward to more thrilling messages via YouTube.
– Oh No, Electro
It’s not that I’m not happy to see you, Jamie Foxx. It’s just that I feel like you’re going to be made into some sort of tragic figure exactly like the Lizard was in the last film.
And I don’t think I can take another one of those.

Overall: I have to be honest, this trailer has a lot of noise but very little impact. It’s clear that they’re upping the stakes and increasing the action but a lot of the effects looks make this look like a trailer for a video-game. I’m not confident enough in the skills of Marc Webb to pull this off and the trailer has done nothing to persuade me. In fact, it took a lot self control to just pick 4 points to rag on. This was tough.

The new suit is so bright that the cg makes this look like a video game. Not sure I like change (the first suit was something unique) but the flapping is a VERY cool touch.
Nice to see some Ock arms and Vulture wings in Goblin’s armoury (I’m assuming that’s what it is). Why didn’t you touch on that?
Overall, not too bad, I look forward to watching it on DVD.
The reason why I didn’t mention it Sharpo is because it is merely an Easter egg and nothing more. It won’t make an impact on the film.
