After the trailer, I have little hope for this reboot. The Spectacular Spider-Man animated show ('08-'09) did everything this show hopes to do. Action wise, it is incredibly smooth, fast paced and exciting. Character wise, it captures Peter's struggle to grasp his new powers and high school life effortlessly. I sense Webb does not understand action and I fear his drama will be overwrought with hip indy music cues.

That said, Marc Webb was a terrible choice for Spiderman and I think the film will be bad.
