New Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer is Pretty Spectacular!

Check out the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and try to spot all the great Easter Eggs and general awesomeness!

This was definitely one of the best superhero trailers I’ve seen in a long time. The action is superb, the characters look fantastic, and the focus is clearly on Spider-Man and the trails he faces in the new movie. Electro, Rhino and Green Goblin all look brilliant, and did you catch the quick cameos from he Vulture and Doctor Octopus? It was just their gear in display cases, but still!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 looks great so far. I cannot wait for this film!

Higher Quality Spider-Man 2 Picture

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 poster from last week has been officially released online with crystal clear images of Rhino and Green Goblin.

Rhino looks mostly awesome, for what he is. I’m not sold, yet, on the idea that he’s a literal robotic rhinoceros instead of a guy in a big suit, but I’m keeping an open mind. The Green Goblin, however, looks stupid. It’s the hair, the hair looks ridiculous. There’s a reason why the Green Goblin in the comics doesn’t have hair. That’s the reason. Right there.

Also, here’s the official plot synopsis:

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

I think I am most looking forward to seeing Rhino in this movie.

First Leaked Look at Rhino and Green Goblin in Amazing Spider-Man 2!

The internet being what it is, some industrious Twitterer found a poster in a movie theater for Amazing Spider-Man 2 that features both Rhino and Green Goblin. The two villains have never before been seen by the public! So this is pretty awesome.

With great box office, comes better costuming

Buuuuut just in case you don’t want to get spoiled, I’ve posted the pictures after the jump. You can find them there!

For Your Viewing Pleasure: Electro!

San Diego Comic-Con (Or is it Comic-Con International?) has surprised us again with a short, sweet little teaser for the new Electro from Amazing Spider-Man 2. It’s not much, but it’s still neat.

It’s not that great of a look at him, but it’s still something. And knowing Comic-Con, I doubt the actual footage from the presentation will make it online in any quality fashion. I’m still waiting on a quality version of that Ant-Man teaser reel from a few years ago. So for now, just enjoy this tiny little tease of a villain. I’m still think Electro looks good.

Electro No? Or Electro Yes?

The first official, fully-CGI’d picture of Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hit the Internets yesterday, and I for one kind of like it. What do you guys and gals think?

This is how you keep magazines relevant

We’ve known for awhile now that Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, was going to be blue. I was fine with that. The new cover of Entertainment Weekly also shows us that he’s going to have all sorts of neat CGI’d lightning and electricity bits floating around his bald head. I’m sure they’ll be actively buzzing around, and not just static. This Electro looks like a combination of Ultimate Electro and the one from that cell-shaded Spidey cartoon on Mtv. At least it’s not the gaudy green and yellow costume, amiright?

Anyway, I like it. The jumpsuit looks neat and the features on the head are kind of cool. What does everybody else think? Let me know in the comments!
