Clip from 'The Amazing Spider-Man'

I don't know why but this kind of thing puts me to sleep. How can that be? The only thing worse than this kind of action is the dialogue that comes before/after.

I'm not cut out for these movies -- or -- they're variations on a theme I've seen so many times it's not worth it anymore.

Sequence is well done, though.

Clip from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' with Emma Stone from The Tonight Show

Love the piano chords when the Lizard busts through the door. Close, dissonant, and up front, loud, not subtle/in the background -- gutsy for a popcorn flick.

Clip starts at 3:49

'The Amazing Spider-Man' 4-Minute Preview

Lemme make this clear. I don't care about Spider-Man. There, I said it. Batman, Superman, Masked-Man, you name it. They do very little for me. However, the opening bridge attack sequence is...good. Okay, I was slack-jawed. Scene is loaded, then re-loaded on top of that, and is infused with theme/character.



The real news, though, is the number of views this YouTube video has gotten in one day.



Yeah, I'm not a fan but I'll be there, along with a bunch of other people, from the looks of it. This flick looks to be about a guy who becomes Spider-Man and deals with the inherent dilemmas and difficulties in a way that's compelling, not a vapid by-the-numbers summer popcorn product designed (solely) to sell tickets (and action figures) that happens to feature Spider-Man.

I'll be there because I care about story and we may have a story here. That's always worth the price of a ticket.

Pix of The Lizard Make Me Care about 'The Amazing Spider-Man'

Yeah. Sure. I'm not a fan of TASM. Just don't care. Why? Who knows. But, I like these shots of The Lizard. They make me care. They do. Yes, they do. Now, maybe, just maybe, I'll watch this movie. Someday. When I get around to it. Just to watch The Lizard. And to see what happens to Peter Parker's stupid camera.

New Trailer for 'The Amazing Spider-Man'

I've looked closely and can't find the sense of camp that this franchise usually doles out. I might watch this one.
