Emerald Catron — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:05:21 +0000

“Witness yet another Spider-Man origin story, just so Sony can retain the rights to the character.” Honest Trailers once again keep it real. We almost don’t think there’s much more to say about ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ than that, but that’s why we don’t write these videos and they do. If you’re wondering if you should [...]

With 'The Avengers' dropping today and 'The Dark Knight Rises' looming over the entire summer movie season, a new 'The Amazing Spider-Man' trailer has just hit the internet.

'Spider-Man' is perhaps the toughest sell among the three would-be superhero blockbusters because it is a reboot of a recent series of beloved films. (Well, the first two were beloved anyway.)

To those who are unfamiliar with American-British actor Andrew Garfield, he's the new kid who plays Spider-Man in the upcoming superhero flick 'The Amazing Spiderman'. Although the film's release is two months away, given the franchise is getting a fresh reboot, the stars are doing the promotional rounds early. Which means stopping by talk shows like 'Ellen' -- and she knows what's going to happen to Garfield once the film hits theaters on July 3rd.

The fact that Ben Schwartz, who plays the scene-stealing Jean-Ralphio on the NBC sitcom 'Parks and Recreation,' looks a bit like 'Amazing Spider-Man' star Andrew Garfield is something we've noticed. In fact, the first time we saw 'The Social Network,' we were briefly under the impression that Jean Ralphio was one of the creators of Facebook.

The folks at College Humor have also seen this resemblance, and have little fun with it in a video that mixes scenes from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' trailer with footage of Schwartz doing Jean-Ralphio on 'Parks & Rec.'

The full-length trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ hit the Web, offering a sneak peek at one of summer 2012′s most-anticipated blockbusters.
