Sony Pictures released a new trailer for “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” yesterday titled “Rise of Electro.” There is a good portion of new footage with an emphasis on Jamie Foxx’s villain. He certainly looks like an adversary capable of giving Peter Parker a run for his money and damn it, he looks cool.
I have a soft spot for Spider-Man as a character an a universe, I enjoy the Tobey Maguire films and watch them regularly but Marc Webb’s take on the wall crawler is, in my opinion, a drastic improvement on Raimi’s trilogy. I haven’t been excited for a movie like this since… ever. It feels like waiting for Christmas as a child and the new trailer raises the ‘Neverbot Geekout Anticipation Level’ to red (severe risk of geeking out imminent).
My only concern is the films ability to balance three villains. We saw how well that went the last time around and it wasn’t… amazing. Based on the last movie and the trailers however, I have high hopes.
May can’t come soon enough. For your perusal, amusement, and approval… “Rise of Electro.”
