The Amazing Spider-Man 4-Minute Extended Preview

Posted by on May 15th, 2012   Filed under: Action, Books/Comics, Trailers

A new extended “super preview” for The Amazing Spider-Man debuted during America’s Got Talent last night, and if you happened to miss it, you can watch it right here, right now. A large chunk of the video consists of a daring rescue where Spidey saves a kid trapped in a car hanging off a bridge, and I have to admit, it’s the most exciting action sequence I’ve seen from the movie thus far. Of course, they just had to find an excuse for him to take off the mask, didn’t they?

A new viral video also hit the web this week that talks about The Lizard and showcases a bit of Dr. Curt Connors’ transformation. I’m still not sure that this villain will be all that interesting, but I hope to be proven wrong. What do you think, is this shaping up to be the best Spider-Man movie yet or have we simply seen it all before? The Amazing Spider-Man hits theatres on July 3rd; check out the new videos after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

    It looks interesting but the final transformation stage of the lizard looks really uninspired…

    like your any other typical cgi monster..

    Im really sick of superheroes taking off their masks in the movie. I much rather like to see them fight in their full costume rather than always having the mask come off every fight. The spiderman movies are the worst examples of this

    That part with the kid was really cheesy.

    “This summer’s most anticipated film” – erm, slightly wishful thinking when it comes out the same summer as The Dark Knight Rises!

  • Steve

    It’s weird that studios don’t seem to have enough confidence in their movies to promote them without these extended trailers. Am I the only one getting sick of this?

  • Man, they don’t care what they spoil!

  • Adam

    @Steve I was thinking that, but is that not what all the summer blockbusters are doing now like I think dark knight is doing the same. I’m not saying I like it I am kinda getting sick of it too, because it shows parts of the film I don’t want to see yet but with this trailer it shows parts of the film I never want to see.

    You are getting sick of what specifically? It’s not like anyone is forcing you to watch these. I deliberately avoid any Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus trailers, because I don’t want to see any part of those movies before I actually go to see them in theater. It’s not that hard to do really and I think you get more from watching a movie that way (did that already with M:I 4 last year and couple more movies along the way). I just find it funny that people complain about stuff they can easily avoid. Don’t watch = problem solved.

    It’s been stated that the reason superheroes often take their masks off in movies is so the actors can emote and show actual expressions. Most actors feel limited with masks or obtrusive makeup, or even just having their eyes obscured.

    Plus, if the actor doesn’t show his face, there’s not much point in even having them put on the costume. They could just have a stuntman do the whole thing and have the actor do the voice-over.

    So it might not seem “realistic” or true to the original character, but it makes sense from a movie-making standpoint.
