The Amazing Spider-Man 4 Minute Trailer is Dark & Ominous

The four minute trailer is our biggest individual look let at Marc Webb's web-slinging reboot.

NBC debuted a four minute trailer for Sony Pictures' web-slinging reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man" during Monday night's premiere of America€™s Got Talent. Yeah we are a little late, but better late than never right? You can watch it below; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=16AwVWvjQhY Clearly this reboot of the iconic web-crawler seems far darker in tone than the previous Sam Raimi movies. Not only is the film returning to the beginning, it puts Peter on a quest to discover the fate of his parents. In a haunted voice over we are hear Peter€”now played by Andrew Garfield€”speaking of the hardship of the life he€™s chosen and the powerful enemies he has made. All of this gives the story a dark tint, almost worthy of the Batman film franchise. Though, the sarcastic Parker we€™ve come to know and love from our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is alive and well when he reveals his weakness to a carjacker. The four minute trailer is our biggest individual look let at Marc Webb's (500 Days of Summer) take on Spider-Man but it doesn't really go above and beyond the other trailers that have been released. In some ways it is just a continuation and mixing together of what we have already been shown. Meanwhile Sony have also released a new video of director Webb discussing the "limitless inspiration" behind the character and his behind-the-scenes process in bringing the reboot to life.

What remains to be seen and what cannot be known until July 3rd is if the story of "The Amazing Spider-Man" can live up to the hype that comes with every Spider-Man release.
