New Trailer for the 'Spider-Man' reboot

'The Amazing Spider-Man' is a peculiar project. After three films director Sam Raimi was gearing up for a fourth instalment with Tobey Maguire returning as titular hero. However after the dissapointment that was 'Spider-Man 3' Sony opted for a reboot instead. Raimi and Maguire then left the franchise to the mercy of the studio.

Meanwhile the appropriately named Marc Webb came off his directorial-debut '(500) Days of Summer'. Sony saw something in this newcomer and handed the reigns of the would-be blockbuster to Webb. Filling the way too tight spandex suit this time is Andrew Garfield from 'The Social Network', also an up-and-comer.

I'm not a superhero kind a guy, really. My interests don't reach much further than Batman so I won't be bugged by the liberties this film will take with the original comics. I genuinely like what I'm seeing in the trailers for 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. Garfield seems way more likeable than goody two-shoes Maguire and the tone of the film appears slightly less goofy than Raimi's films. But still I'm curious if audiences will take to a different version of the same story.
