Talkback: The Amazing Spider-Man Trailer -- Yea or Nay?

Amazing Spider-Man Theatrical Trailer

As previewed earlier today for select audiences around the globe, here's Sony's brand spankin' new theatrical trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. (Find my full detailed Spider-Man preview Q&A recap, including descriptions of the sizzle reel that has not yet been released, here.) Take a look and weigh in, Spidey fans -- is this the version of the Marvel superhero we both need and deserve?

Personally, I'm digging Garfield's more confident Peter Parker AND his Spidey more than Tobey Maguire's renditions, and I'm impressed with Emma Stone's ability to inject even the barest of one-second scene snippets with personality and zip. We've yet to be given a really good extended look at The Lizard's CG-heavy effects, but yeah, that looks like a lizard-man alright.

Sling your reactions to Garfield's Parker/Spider-Man, Stone's Gwen Stacy, and any of the Spidey spectacle on display here in the comments below.
