Not counting the colors, I see the comparison Rob's making. Without a doubt the eyes. Not to mention the red one-piece, with the blue longer in the front on gay-boy versus Ross' sketch...
retirement hilarity aside, the new costume sorta resembles the concepts alex ross put together for the other spidey films. now, with more codpiece!
Seriously, I find that the costume has more in common with the comic book version than Ross's design.

I think its got elements of both. The black eyes are a direct lift from the Ross design. The colors are clearly more in line with the traditional suit.
Personally I think it most closely resembles the Ben Reilly costume
The eyes aren't black. They're reflective. Just like the Rami movies, the 70's TV show, and what the comics are supposed to represent. That shot seems to have some black, like a car, reflecting in the eye pieces.

Meh, once again I have no interest in this at all. Everything in this trailer was done before and not enough time has passed to start all this shit over again.
The mirror's edge rip off part is more than likely going to make me vomit if I saw it in the theater.

Yes. I can understand the need for a "soft reboot," ala the Hulk, but essentially remaking the first film ten years later? Pass. I'll wait for a sequel.
I know boycotts never work but we need to find a way to make this movie fail so Marvel can get the rights back and at least stick Spider-Man in an Avengers movie.

Quite frankly, I haven't seen anything bad from this yet. It's not Raimi, and that is a minus. I still haven't seen anything that makes this movie look bad, though. This is leagues better than anything put out to promote the GL movie.

My complaint with the trailer is that it doesn't show anything new. Based on what was shown, the new movie has the same story as the first spidey movie, minus a villain.
Emma Stone and Martin Sheen are pluses. That is all. This looks like it will suck out loud.

looks like a teenybopper version of the original movie. How does putting teenagers in the role of characters change the story enough to warrant a movie?
Spider-Man's Rhys Ifans Arrested for Misdemeanor Battery at Comic-Con
He plays a villain in The Amazing Spider-Man, and if his actions at Comic-Con are any indication, Rhys Ifans is a bit of a bad boy in real life, too.
The actor, who plays Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard in the movie, shoved a female security guard prior to Friday night's panel in San Diego, Calif. Ifans, who turned 44 the same day, became irate when a member of his team was denied access to the hall because he lacked proper credentials.
According to The Wrap, Ifans -- who smelled of alcohol -- pushed the guard in order to pass through. He was allowed to participate in the panel with costars Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, though he walked on stage late and said very little. The guard made a citizen's arrest once it was over. (A Sony spokesperson said that Ifans "deeply regrets the incident.")
"He was aggressive and belligerent," Lt. Andra Brown said. "He was berating everyone from the security staff to the United States of America."
"He was cited and released, which is a non-custodial misdemeanor arrest," Brown said. The San Diego City Attorney will now determine whether to pursue charges against Ifans. He could be required to pay a fine, or he could dispute the case before a judge.
"But, according to him, the U.S. sucks and he doesn't want to come back," Brown said of the actor, who once dated Sienna Miller.

i do think it looks better than the original, but only in a "remastered, now with kung fu grip!" type way. like when they re-released the donner superman film on blu-ray, or something. it's oddly and unnecessarily similar - even garfield's voice is all not-black, like tobey's.
this could have easily been spider-man 4, without skipping a beat. throw in a quick "here's whatcha missed: spider bites peter, peter strong" recap, and bam - new film!
Sony wants a younger Spider-man still in high school. Hard to do that as a sequel with a new cast. Yeah, they probably don't need to redo the origin, but it looks like they want to put the Lizard in with the whole mutation thing as well. Don't know. Still will wait and see. The POV rooftop stuff looked a lot better on the big screen than on the computer monitor.

Yeah, if its a reboot anyway, just reboot it at a few months post origin. Most people who aren't continuity obsessed fanboys wouldn't care much.
Yes, rex, because people never play characters that are anything but their own age. You have out smarted a multibillion dollar company. Collect your reward of a brand new nothing.

i spose. tobey really only went to school for one day in the first trilogy. and then the next day, they were adults.
there looked to be a scene of parker in high school in the trailer, so maybe that will last longer than the afternoon. otherwise, spider-man 4 could have still worked nicely.
