Wow! This pumps me up! The conflict with the symbiote and Peter looks like a key point, which is the way it should be.

Looks good and has me excited, but all the hype and no venom in the trailer.

This is actually a trailer for the movie.

I take it that he was joking that it looked like a videogame.

I'm really hoping that this whole "Sandman killed Uncle Ben" thing doesn't play out...I don't want that original storyline getting all complicated. I can see it now...

"Wait, so that guy that Peter let run away didn't actually do it, soo...the getaway driver must've done it...so...it doesn't really matter that Peter let him go."

"No no, it does matter, cause if the robber was stopped, the getaway driver would've runaway, not made a getaway and killed Uncle Ben..."

"HUH?"

This opens May 2007. This is the second trailer. It's neatly packaging for you 20% of the story. I'm sure we'll see different trailers highlighting the other parts of the story so that by the time it opens, you won't even need to see the movie

Well, Venom didn't introduce in comic when Spider-man first got black suit. I didn't expect to see Venom in that movie - perhaps in SP4...

Venom has been confirmed for this film.

I really want to see him in action....

If that's a design for the Venom in the movie, then

You know, I can already hear the people bitching that there wasn't enough Venom for all the hype. Yep, someone who hasn't been shown in two of the maybe three promos for the movie must play a really big role! Get real people. Raimi doesn't like the character and is more or less just paying lip service by having him in the flick. Don't expect a big Venom show. It's like people who bitched about Episode III not having any of Vader in the suit slicing and dicing and doing all sorts of action moves.

Well thank god that's not the case then, isn't it?

I don't know, it just seems like this is going to be a mess. Basicly they're introducing 4 new characters (symbiote spidey, eddie brock/venom, the sandman, and the harry osbourne goblin). I don't care how talented of a filmaker you are, you just can't make this cohesive or coherent in 2.5 hours. A story or character is going to get shortchanged while they hurredly try to show each characters origin, not to mention the fact that they all will have to fight spidey at some point. I can see it being all action and no story...who knows though?

did anyone hear 1998's godzilla roar in the trailer?

I liked the trailer even without the shot of Venom and I'm looking forward to its release.

Batman Begins had about the same amount of villains but nobody seemed to be bothered by that (except me)

Don't forget Peter's new love interest too!

i don't know. It seems to me that if the story is good then the number of villians won't make a difference.

Batman Begins + Good story + more than one villian = Still a kick ass film.

The first trailer is SOOOOOOO much better than the teaser IMHO.

Looks good to me.

There sure are a lot of fanboy complaints running rampant round here. I think it looks awesome. Got me excited. Sandman looks cool and I like the whole "evil Parker" vs. "good Parker" symbiote story. From the trailer it kinda looks like Peter ends up hitting Mary Jane (or pushing her down). Can't wait!

I'm glad I don't read comics. That way I can enjoy the movies for what they are instead of picking them apart constantly. How do some of you people enjoy anything?

We've gotten into this thing where we expect every adaptation to have exact verisimiltude. There must be all the same characters, they must all have the same exact same lines, they must look exactly like they are described. God forbid they change the race of a character, let alone the hair color. There's no consideration for the differences in media and storytelling. Even the nature of standalone features versus continuing storylines are not considered. Plot must unfold in exactly the same manner and order. It's ultimately childish. We're a nation of children being read our favorite bedtime story, but we get upset if mom or dad change anything or even the cadence of how they read it.

Well, let them come up with an original bedtime story then..

If you're going to make me a burger that is made out of pork, BBQ sauce and a slew of other things then don't dare call it a Hamburger. Call it a Rib Sandwich.

But if you're going to make me a Hamburger than you best be putting in Beef and all the basics that make up a hamburger.

best metaphor i've seen today

Well.. some people and some trailer company have just lost their jobs.
