As the teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated, The Dark Knight Rises, was shown before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on Friday (then released online on Monday this week), Marvel has finally shown us a trailer their upcoming reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man (2 minutes and 30 seconds of it, if I may add).

It doesn’t reveal too much but you can really tell the difference in tone between Sam Raimi’s and Marc Webb’s superhero debut. What it does show is its ensemble cast, featuring Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Emma Stone (Easy A), Rhys Ifans (Enduring Love), Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now) and Sally Field (Forest Gump). This features the basic origin story, but Garfield’s Peter Parker falls for Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy (previously played by Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3) rather than for Mary Jane Watson.

The standout scene from the trailer is the first-person view of Spider-Man leaping and free-running on top of buildings. Although, as many pointed out, it does look a bit like the video game, Mirror’s Edge. It still, however, gives us an idea what sort of direction we’re going to be given nonetheless.

So what are your thoughts on this particular reboot? Yay or nay?
