Although the trailer largely hints at a movie that's going to be an absolute riot, from the web-slinging action to the wise-cracking lines and visual gags, there are also signs of this having a surprising layer of emotional maturity to it.

The first comes when Miles is shown looking in distress, and it's followed by Peter looking at a picture of Mary Jane, which should immediately set alarm bells ringing for something happening to her (or having already happened) in the movie.

In both it hints at this being a surprisingly emotional experience alongside the comedy and action, which is going to be important for giving it a bit more depth and making the characters even richer.
