Last year Marc Webb successfully righted the Spider-Man franchise after Sony and Sam Raimi sorely parted ways. Webb’s film, the first in a rebooted series, won critics and audiences over and with a healthy ROI a sequel was green-lit before you could say “thwip”. But this? Who saw this coming. Count the baddies…there are not one, not two, not even three villains but four (when you count Dr. Conners who is still in prison) sinister foes for Peter to possibly contend with (and really, there’s a baker’s half a dozen to those of you who picked up on the subtle foreshadowing teased in the trailer)!! Didn’t Sony learn that too may cooks in…

Ohhh, Look…Check Out Spidey's New Suit For 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
Now that the Oscars are over we can fully put 2012 behind us and look forward to all the splendor and highly anticipated films of 2013. Super-heroes have been all the rage and thankfully have become more hit than miss as of late. One property that has been and continues to stay near the top of the pyramid is Spider-Man. Last year Marc Webb proved that his slightly unnecessary reboot was on par with the Raimi trilogy, if not better in many ways. Well, Marc Webb’s got a lot of elements and characters to manage if he hopes to top the success of his 2012 film and keep this new adventure from feeling bloated and…

G-S-T Review…The Amazing Spider-Man
In an ever improving and expanding world of comic book super hero films, Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) give us a new Spider-Man, one that is in many cases, an improvement over what Sony was so desperate to reboot. There’s lots of changes but where to begin? Well everything we’ve previously seen or knew, as to be expected in a “reboot”, has been scrapped. But while this is an almost unnecessary “here’s how we got here” story, meaning that there are marginally few people who don’t know how Peter Parker became Spider-Man, it’s good to see the new blood earn the suit…and earn it he did. A decade ago, we got the the best screen version of…

Ohhh, Look…Behind the Scenes Look At ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ with Director Marc Webb
Following the awesome 4 minute trailer of The Amazing Spider-Man which hit the web yesterday (pun intended!) comes this equally impressive Behind the Scenes featurette. That “super preview” showed us how awesome Peter Parker/Spider-Man will be this July but the video shows us that Marc Webb isn’t too shabby himself. Enjoy this little glimpse into the Spider-Man universe led by Mr. Webb… Man, this film just continues to impress as we get closer to the release date. The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans as well as a terrific supporting cast. Sony/Columbia has The Amazing Spider-Man set to swing into theaters (in 3D!) this Summer on July 3rd, 2012. What say you web-slingers? Ready to give…

Sweet Trailer…Four-Minute Extended Preview of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’
Like all great trailers, this 4 minute preview of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man has been teased, hyped and like the two that came before it, TOTALLY delivers. Endless love for Raimi and Maguire aside, this looks fantastic. As you might suspect, 4 minutes will show more than you probably wanted to see but it is worth it. Enjoy this “super preview” and the two latest theatrical posters below… Even though this is an origin story (that some still call unnecessary) Webb’s Spider-Man will do one better by going with some deeper back-story to tell the “untold story” of Peter Parker. Specifically we’ll learn how he came to be raised by his…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…'The Amazing Spider-Man'
The term “jaw-dropping” gets thrown around a lot when talking about films. But how many trailers do you recall that you think deserved to be called the same? Today we have the second full trailer for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man and I think it is totally jaw-dropping!! Many, many people were curious to see how anyone would top the Raimi films (putting aside the fact that this series reboot was started so insultingly soon after Spider-Man 3) but this trailer should find all naysayers, myself included, picking their chins off the floor. Enjoy!! Andrew Garfield stars as Peter Parker along with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy (fun fact: she’s the second red-head to…

Sweet Trailer….'The Amazing Spider-Man'
I must start by saying that this all is incredibly too soon. But it’s not like anyone in Hollywood is going to listen to some cinebloggers on the net now are they? So we are where we are and despite the allegiance to Raimi’s universe Marc Webb’s crack at Spider-Man does look pretty slick. Still not sold on Garfield in the role…but everything else looks good. Have a look, won’t you? To watch more, visit tag Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) is at the helm for this reboot and as the “darker” tone has pretty much become a standard for comic adaptions these days we pretty much expected the…
