Yes indeed, the second trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man movie has hit the web and seems to have got the whole world in a spin.

Whilst there have been many skeptics (and who could blame them; after all a reboot of Spider-man is about as much needed as a reboot of Harry Potter)  Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Spiderman / Peter Parker in Marc Webb’s version (in the trailer at least) looks much more serious, determined and full of all those angst that teenagers have had to endure over the…erm, centuries.

So what are the changes? Well for a start there’s a whole different dynamic between Parker and the object of his affections, Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy, it could be a real love triangle – or web.

Then there’s the fact that in this reboot Peter Parker has man-made rather than organic web-shooters. This allows the film-makers to play up the teenager’s status as something of a budding scientific genius, rather than just a talented student. This in turn ties into the key plotline within The Amazing Spider-Man which revolves around Parker’s relationship with scientist Dr Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans).  For those of you not up to date with the comic book, Connors once worked with Parker’s late father, adding an extra layer of intrigue when his dodgy experiments transform him into the Lizard. Director Marc Webb, speaking in LA, said his film would examine “the emotional consequence of what it means to be an orphan.” He added: “We wanted to treat Peter Parker in a more realistic, naturalistic way. There are a lot of things from the Spider-Man canon: this starts off with Peter Parker and his parents.” Interesting eh? I thought so.

Lastly the production has been shot entirely in stereoscopic 3D. which can only be a coop for Sony who are looking to push their ideas of creating 3D within the home.

Might just be my opinion but the new trailer looks awesome. I am still not so sure about that suit but one thing is for sure is that there is action, tons of it and most importantly, although trailers tend to just show the best bits it looks like they are holding nothing back. It seems as if Spider-man is about to come of age.
