Loki: I have an army! Stark: We have a Hulk.
Another awesome quote to add to history of movies.

I think we have a difference of opinions on what constitutes a quote that'd go down with the history of movies.

Hmmm.... A difference of opinion on something that's completely and utterly subjective? Who would've guessed? Sorry, my sarcasm inhibitor seems to be broken today.

Yeah, I'm burning from that, and I'm just lurking. Yowser!

Well it got fan boys frothing and foaming at the mouth with their replies and comments. I expect their mothers will have to watch their sugar intake carefully for the next few days to avoid meltdown. I expect its hard lifting a 40 something year old 300+lb balding fellow with a sweat stained t shirt straining across his gut up a flight of basement stairs. Paramedics sure do earn their money.
For the rest of us, I guess we'll be waiting to see what the film is like before foaming at the mouth (or rolling eyes) but I have to say, after seeing the new trailer, I am more positive about the movie, albeit stopping short of foaming.
Now, if only they'd do a decent trailer for the Dark Knight, because we all know that's gonna be great.
(I hope.)

Avengers will be mediocre, but I'll love it anyway.
Dark Knight is going to be the worst trainwreck of the series, by far. Unless something drastic changes, I'm not even going to see that steaming pile of camel flop in the theater. I'd rather be strapped into a chair Clockwork Orange style and forced to sit through a marathon of Sex and the City.

I thought Clockwork Orange was blah.

Looks cool to me; it's nice to hear Spider-Man act like a smartass.

As I've said... I think Amazing will be better than the Raimi flicks. I'm actually looking somewhat forward to it.
Also, Clockwork Orange is one of the best movies of all time. I literally cannot imagine how anyone wouldn't enjoy it.

The trailer has changed my opinion on the film - I still dislike the costume, don't like that Spiderman is unmasked in EVERY film and the web shooters... no thanks. That said, it kind of makes some kind of real world sense when the webs go off and gas hisses out. As for the rest of it - Lizard isn't recognisable enough as an 'A Grade' spidey villain to non comic book readers so no idea how it'll do. Spideys moves when confronted by the cops are good - he's fast - and Gwen Stacey was first on the scene before Mary Jane... *shrug* I'll go watch it now, whereas before I was ok to not bother.

The costume and the lack of mask are bothersome. One of my biggest problems with Spider-Man 3 was the fact that everybody ran around unmasked for most of the movie.

I don't get why they pretty much made MR.Stacy into JJ.

It's nice that we actually got to see a little of a villain in this trailer. The previous trailers were trying so hard to sell us on the protagonist without telling us anything important about the story.
I hate his mask. That doesn't feel like an important point but it bothered me so much that I had to blurt it out early. I really hate the blue lines around his eye things. Blah. I hate it almost as much as I hate his hair.
I still don't like super emo Peter Parker. It's nice that he had at least one quip - maybe there will be more quippage in this one? - but zomg emo.
In general it feels like they're aiming this one at the Twilight crowd. This Peter Parker seems to be Edward Cullen in spandex (apologies for the mental image). Even the way he interacts with Gwen seems reminiscent of the kind of Twilightesque, hollow, melodramatic crap that passes as "romance" for teenagers. Lots of cradling eachother's heads in their hands and soulful looks and oh woe is us our love is so starcross'd. Let's sit in the darkness and brood because LIFE IS TEH SO HARDZ FOR US!
Emma Stone is all the way beautiful though. So there's that, at least.
EDIT: Also, the part where it said "THE UNTOLD STORY" cracked me up. The story looks almost identical to the first movies:
- is nerd - lives with aunt/uncle - uncle gonna die - likes girl he can't have - bitten by spider - gets powers - uses powers to fight bullies at school - somehow makes a costume - fights some crime - persecuted by one adult who doesn't understand/fears him - earns respect of other adult science guy by being smart - turns out adult science guy is villain - inspiring dead uncle sound bytes - fight villain - lose mask at some point - winds up with girl at some point - probably can't have girl though because TEH TENSION - roll credits
THE UNTOLD STORY OMG YOU GUYS

WHY MUST YOU KILL MY ENTHUSIASM FOR THIS MOVIE WITH YOUR INTELLIGENT ANALYSIS?

I should say that I can't blame them for doing the same story. It's just boasting that it's THE UNTOLD STORY that irked me. I get that they're damned either way, though: either they do the same story, or they risk enraging audiences by veering away from the source material. The Toby trilogy was so popular that even audiences who have never read a comic book think they know Spiderman's story now, and they might be pissed off if things change too much. I think that's why aiming this movie at tweens, teens, and twihards makes sense: they're the only ones who might be too young to remember or care about a ten year-old movie. Yes, it's a decade years old. ~TWF
