New trailer has appeared online:

What are everyones thoughts on this? Too soon for a reboot? Actor is British = good? (odd how all the American super heroes are being played by non Americans these days...).
I'm liking the trailer, it looks more like the Spider-man I wanted first time around. As much as I like the Raimi version, it seemed to stick too closely to the source material, it already felt like a retread. This feels like it's bringing a bit more to the party, and I want it to remain in high school for a while, Raimi couldn't wait to get out of high school, which is odd for a story about a school kid with superpowers.
And Andrew Garfield is a terrific actor, both Social Network and Never Let Me Go were spot on performances, and very different. Also Emma Stone, terrific casting.
I'm quietly optimistic about it.
