With the release of
The Avengers came two new comic book movie trailers:
The Dark Knight Rises, and in IMAX 3D showings,
The Amazing Spiderman. Fellow blogger Peter already looked at
The Dark Knight Rises new trailer, and now I'm going to look at the new Spiderman trailer. Instead of going through every single tiny scene and detail, I'm just going to look through some of the newer material. Here we go!
Opening Monologue
The opening monologue can tell us a lot about this movie. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is talking in the past tense about his struggles as Spiderman. We can assume this means the death of Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen), the enemies he's made, the impact it had on high school, how his loved ones are in danger, and a bunch of other really serious stuff. Then we get the same plot point that Marc Webb has been drilling into our minds in every trailer so far. "But the one thing that has haunted me...my entire life...is finding the truth about my parents..." This is going to be a huge part of the movie. Peter Parker's parents left him with his aunt and uncle at a very young age. We know from enough previews already that Peter's father worked with Dr. Curt Connors at Oscorp, which we get to see a massive image of in this trailer. The speaking in past tense also means that the film will cover a pretty large time-frame. It's my opinion that we'll see Peter's beginnings as Spiderman, as well as quite a few flashbacks, a la
Batman Begins, which is okay, since Nolan and DC have decided to copy the
Spiderman viral campaign....
