So, here it is, folks; the first look at 2012's Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. For those of you who are confused as to why there is a Spider-Man movie coming out that looks nothing like the other three we've watched over the last 10 years, it's because if Sony doesn't continue to release Spider-Man movies then all rights revert back to Marvel Studios (which would be a good thing). But since Spider-Man 3 took McGuire's character to a place where it would be hard to bounce back from, the studio trashed SM4 and opted for a reboot. Now that Marvel is making it's own movies expect other studios that have the rights to characters to start churning out more movies. Daredevil? Reboot. Fantastic Four? Reboot. Ghost Rider? Well, sequel, but I would prefer a reboot instead of Nicholas Cage and his amazing hairpiece. X-Men? I guess "Preboot" is the best term for that one, but very well done.
Anyway, take a look at what appears to be a much darker and brooding looking Spider-Man film; but at least Dr. Conners finally gets to be the Lizard, instead of going through a movie trilogy as a one-armed college professor with no real payoff (Dylan Baker's Lizard was planned to finally appear in the fourth film along with John Malkovich rumoured to be the Vulture).
