Of all the superhero epics being released this summer, The Amazing Spider-Man seems the most
ineffectual. It’s hard to pinpoint why,
but a certain excitement seems to be lacking here. That’s a shame since this production seems
guided by a distinct and sure handed vision.
Each subsequent trailer has been a bit better than the last one. Overall it seems to be more in line with the classic
Spider-Man mythos than any of Sam Raimi’s films. While The
Amazing Spider-Man might indeed end up being worthwhile, it doesn’t feel
like one of this summer’s “must-see” films.
The new trailer doesn’t do much to change that, but it does inspire a
modicum of hope.

Movie Review: The Avengers
In a massive, heavily secured research facility, the S.H.E.I.L.D
Agency’s best scientists study the mysterious Tesseract. Its energy personified, and its true
capabilities have to be tapped. One
night, it suddenly becomes active, opening a portal across time and space. Through that portal steps Loki, the exiled Norse
God of mischief. He arrives with a horrifying
agenda: the complete and total subjugation of humanity. He escapes the research facility with The
Tesseract in tow, which plays a pivotal role in his master plan.
