“Oh, I’m sorry - did you have a movie opening next summer, too?”

If you weren’t glued to your browsers last night like seemingly everyone on the Internet was, you haven’t seen the new Spider-Man 3 trailer yet. Either way, take a look at it now and soak up its Spidey-greatness.

Just a few observations:

Sandman = wow.
Black suit Webhead - nice moves, but where’s the part when he dances?
Judging purely from the amount of trailer screentime, it looks like Gwen Stacy’s only in this movie for about 5 minutes. Either that, or Kirsten Dunst has a much better agent than Bryce Dallas Howard does.
Check out how many Raimi-esque POV fast-zoomy shots are in this trailer! It’s as if the studio marketers REALLY want to remind us of the director’s signature style in case we’ve forgotten.
I’m really hoping that they haven’t shown us Sandman’s death here. There’s a shot that suggests it and I’ll be bummed if they’ve already given this away.
Same thing for Harry - can a guy survive a point-blank pumpkin blast to the face? Aren’t these essentially the same bombs we saw incinerate a balcony full of guys in the first movie?

And for fun, here are a handful of nifty Spidey Vs. Sandman Vs. Symbiote screenshots:
well, that's hardly fair.
