Cool! Somebody who goes by the namesleepyskunk has taken all of the trailers and clips that Sony Pictures has released and made the 25 minute mini-film below. It has footage that you've probably seen before, but it plays like a movie instead of a jumble of clips. Check it out!
Below is the four minute preview released on May 14, 2012. Following that are the trailers from February 2012 and July 2011.
The Amazing Spider-Man trailer is loaded with web-slinging action and lots of info on the connection between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans). Apparently, Pete considers it his duty to stop the "thing" that Dr. Connors becomes. We also see more of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and her police captain father (Denis Leary). It looks like the director, Marc Webb, has a cool vision for Spidey, with more humor and suspense than we saw in the first trilogy. There's been grumbling from fans ever since Webb replaced Sam Raimi in the director's chair, but this clip should quiet some of the critics. Also shown in this clip are Sally Field and Martin Sheen.Now, as for the trailer - it seems to show an origin story that's largely faithful to Spidey's comic book beginnings, but this time, Gwen Stacy works in the same lab as Connors, who eventually becomes the villainous Lizard. Two things I like right away with this trailer - first, the origin story seems to include a bit of mystery as to what happened to Pete's parents, which opens a lot of story possibilities for the sequels to explore. Also, even though he doesn't say much here, I think I'm gonna dig Garfield's take on Peter Parker. He has a sullen, withdrawn expression - like a kid with a traumatic past, which refers back to the loss of his parents. Overall, I think this clip gives us a hint that Sony made a good call in hiring Webb to freshen and energize the Spidey franchise. Disagree? Let us know what you think.
