Well when I checked imdb is said something about "proto-goblin", but then I found something else that was believeable enough to make me think otherwise.

http://www.slashfilm.com/protogoblin-spiderman-reboot/

Not sure TBH. All I know is that I'm a little surprised MJ isn't a main character yet.

I believe I read that the villain is Doc Connors A.K.A. The Lizard.

Also, I thought Gwen Stacy, who Emma Stone is playing, came before Mary Jane?

so is Sony making it, or Marvel?

Sony. Columbia Pictures is owned by Sony.

well, she shouldn't be.

It was always about Gwen Stacey in the early days. Mary Jane arrived what...10-15 years after the first issue of Spider-Man?

Right, but it's still surprising because that's what they did in the first place. I figured same picture house... roughly same main characters. People who only know spiderman from the movies and other little bits only know MJ, so it's surprising they're making it more accurate at the cost of potential "WTF" from the general masses.

the odd thing is that, iirc, the MJ storyline they created in the Spider-Man movies is basically the original Gwen Stacey storyline.

No fricking clue why they had to make it Mary Jane. :\

That is weird... especially since Kirsten Dunst usually goes blonde anyway. It would make more sense if she was a natural red-head and they REALLY wanted her for the part. But she's not, and the way they wrote that part could have been acted by nearly any young actress.

I've got my hopes up, I own Amazing Spider-Man #1 1963 and I love the series so I want them to do something special with it.

I don't like that they are re-doing the story basically again...annoying. Half the movie gonna be about Parker becoming spider-man, uncle ben dieing...we have seen this just recently.

What they need to do is what they did in the original cartoon. The cartoon was what made spiderman a house hold name. My childhood was that spiderman cartoon if they do that in the movie then I can die happy.

Also according to the cartoon the fucking webs did not shoot out his arms. Parker used his scientific skills to build a web shooter GD@!@##@! They even had later cartoon episodes where the web shooter ran out of web! Get it right this time.

I believe it was Ultimate Spider-Man that didn't have to use web cartridges to shoot webs. It's not surprising since I think even the X-Men movies tended to use more stuff from the Ultimate universe than they did from the original.

But anyway... the villain has apparently been confirmed to be The Lizard as mentioned earlier: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni13167403/ .

That looked awful. Half the trailer looked like a bad video game. The other half just looked... lame. Very Twilight-ish.

Saw the trailer when catching Captain America and went "WTF?!"
Not by Marvel = probably not worth watching, maybe worth a RedBox rental.

Wow that full CGI scene looked worse than Mirrors Edge... And Mirrors Edge didn't look great.

I think they're overdoing it with some of the actors. Some are too popular.

I liked the older Spider Man movies. They were actually pretty good for super hero movies. The origin story was good and things fit well.

This new one looks like it will fall apart fast.

It's so weird to think of a reboot of a series that was "fresh" just 10 years ago. It's like deja vu.

the CGI did look god awful. I think these guys were jealous of the newer Superman movie, and thought they needed to destroy a very successful and rather well-liked current franchise by pretty much doing the same thing.

Technically, the series just ended in 2007, so 4 years ago.

I'm talking about from the start of the series. It's like seeing the whole thing starting back over again 10 years later.

It's weird like when I was watching "I Love the 90s" on VH1 in the early 2000s.

seemed ok..cept for the fps perspective bit which looked oddly cheap and video gamish. perhaps for 3d they couldn't quick cut or move without making people sick but the smoothness made it feel fake and video game like...and the brick wall texture looked way too even ... considering the first film ended with a similar sequence 10 years ago...they should do better.

I thought it looked good.

I hope they don't over due the view through Spiderman's eyes though. Could get old fast.

Yeah, me too. And ditto on the first person perspective. Fine for the trailer, don't want it in the movie.
