At this point, the new Spider-Man costume has been shown
from every imaginable angle even though actual footage of old web head in
action had yet to be seen. Amidst such
circumstances, it’s hardly surprising that the teaser trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man arrives with
relatively little fanfare. The first Spider-Man film, released nearly a
decade ago, was perhaps the defining event movie of the early 2000’s. That’s a hard trick to pull off twice, yet
the abysmal reception of Spider-Man 3
demanded that the franchise start from scratch yet again.
