The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer

After a week of hype, including quick-clips and posters, the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is here. The Avengers effect is in full force. They weren't fooling. It is all about the Sinister Six. Eh, eventually.
You have to commend them for going all out. Even if it still looks like it's aping the 2002-2007 Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire iteration and the whereabouts of Richard and Mary Parker is not a plot thread many preferred seeing continued. Not in the slightest bit am I saying this sucks. On the contrary, this single trailer is an improvement above everything we saw from The Amazing Spider-Man pre-release. But that feeling of "I've seen this before" lingers.
"We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It's great to be Spider-Man. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen. But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp."

Dude - why so jaded?
Spidey webswinging against the NY cityscape is much more cinematically engaging than SuperMan flying around in it.
Spidey 2 trailer looks FANTASTIC! Spidey's speed, strength, & agility!!! Its the whole package!!
Does it mean the movie will be a home run? Of course not.
But as a Spidey fan its very thrilling to see ALL his powers being projected onto to the silver screen.
I dunno maybe there still is the heart of a 8 year old boy still beating inside this old fart's body but I love this trailer.
