I'd rather see Extreme Makeover - Spiderman Edition.
They could give him the extra four legs he's always wanted and graft some acting ability onto Kirsten Dunst.

Graft acting abilities onto Kirsten Dunst? There are two rather large reasons why she was hired for the part, and neither were her acting abilities. Instead they were the show cases of the rain soaked shirt scene of the first movie, and are already firmly grafted into place.
The CGI looks kind of cartoonely, kind of like when you can tell during the burly brawl when they stopped using keano and started using the all cgi character. That being said ill still go see it...;-)

Is anyone else annoyed by the amount of story that is given away in trailers now? I guess the production companies must have found that these types of trailers are effective in pulling in audiences to see the movie but it seems to detract from the experience.

About 10 months ago I decided that I will no longer watch trailers.
So you're the guy that always climbs over me 1 minute into the movie.

Well then you should try going to a movie without knowing the plot. It's a totally different experience. I HATE trailers, and try never to watch them... I try to turn my attention to something else during the trailers before a movie.
I like to go watch a movie just on advice from friends whose tastes I trust, and go watch it without reading a single thing about it and only having been told that they enjoyed it. Try it.
For instance I saw Bruce Almighty and when the guy met God and whatever, I was totally amazed cause I didn't see it coming at all... I also watched The Butterfly Effect and enjoyed it a lot more than my friends cause the plot totally surprised me, I had no idea what it was about.
From my point of view, trailers suck, and so do reviews. They just serve to ruin the movie.
I was skeptical after the first trailer came out. However, this one looks just as good as the first, if not better. Looks like real character development (*gasp* *shock*). I also liked the character of the editor of the Daily Bugle. Looks like another weine...er...winner....Cluster bombing from a B-52 flying at 30,000 feet is HIGHLY, HIGHLY accurate: The bombs ALWAYS hit the ground.

I really hope they listened to Mr. Lee on this one. He's sorta the guy behind spidey, and he had some sound advice on how the first movie coulda been a bit better. His argument as to the necessity of Peter Parker "making" his web solution and shooter mechanism made for some good sense, and for him to point out that William Defoe was a superb actor and, thus, should have had his face shown while in "Goblin" mode is something the director should have figured out first.
With makeup and CGI like it is, Defoe could have easily had his own face used without a hitch, and being the actor he is it would have been far better than the stupid mask.
Of course, people need to keep in mind that these movies are only "based" on the actual comics and Lee, et al., are not fully consulted....

I think this the first time I've seen a "Download" link that lets you save it to disk with a couple clicks, instead of having to look at the HTML source and download it by hand.
I guess they got tired of people complaining about not being able to download the trailer.

Ah, nice. This is much better than the old trailer ("teaser trailer") I saw a couple of months ago that started off with Peter and Mary-Jane in a diner with a car crashing in. Although that one isn't bad at all. Check out the movie's website and click on "watch it now" under the Full Length Trailer section to see the original teaser and some other stuff as well.

Tell me about it. I was all looking forward to seeing The Passion but then <***SPOILER ALERT***> some jackass came up to me on the street and told me about how the main character dies at the end to save humanity. So I told him "hey jackass, thanks for ruining the movie for me. I'm reporting you to the MPAA for pirating the plot and redistributing it to me. I think you owe Mel Gibson an apology and $10." It's just as well that I didn't see it - it sounds like they just ripped off the ending from The Matrix: Revolutions.

Yeah, but what made me mad was Hollywood's interference with the script. They clearly had to have their happy ending since it sells better. The guy comes back from the dead?!? Come on.:-P

First off, I'm a huge fan of the first one, as well as the comics. I'm not trying to incite a flamewar, but...
As was said earlier, the trailer gives away pretty much the whole damn movie! We see the initial backstory, the inner demons, Peter throwing away the spiderman costume, Peter putting it back on... I mean, am I going to have to stop watching trailers soon just so I'll be surprised at the theater?
And second, from the trailer the plot looks almost identical to the first. Evil scientist has a wardrobe malfunction (heh) that turns him crazy, and destroys NYC. Peter wants to be with MJ but has to choose what he really wants (Superman 2, anyone?). Crazy scientist captures MJ, Spiderman has to rescue her.
Or am I missing something?
