The Amazing Spider-Man trailer spins into view

The trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man has swung into view. It's an incy-wincy morsel of the restyled franchise that's getting a "reboot" a mere nine years after it was first booted. It web-slings over familiar ground (Peter Parker in high school, the bite, the transformation) to that that Sam Raimi covered in the trailer for his 2002 version , but Webb's world seems much creepier . This Parker (Andrew Garfield) is a moody teen in a hoodie, the bite is an awakening, the power is something of a curse. There's even body horror (in the form of a strand of web pulled painfully out of Parker's neck) and a touch of existentialism ("Do you have any idea what you are?"). We're miles away from Tobey Maguire's bespectacled, eager chump. Rhys Ifans pops up briefly as the franchise's new super-scientist, Dr Curt Conners (no shot of him in costume as The Lizard yet), and Emma Stone's turn as the ill-fated Gwen Stacy is briefly introduced, but it's largely Garfield looking grim until the Spidey costume gets an airing in the final seconds. A late admission that, yes, actually this is a superhero movie. What do you reckon? Is there anything to be said about Spider-Man that Raimi didn't already cover? Can Garfield handle the responsibility? And what about this darker direction? Can Webb spin that line?
