Video: “The Amazing Spider-Man” trailer

I’ve been really pumped up about the forthcoming reboot “The Amazing Spider-Man,” particularly considering the talent involved: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Sally Field, IRhys Ifans, plus Marc “(500) Days of Summer” Webb directing.

But now that I’ve seen the trailer, I’m appalled that it looks like this movie is going to break the top two rules on Dale’s List of Superheroic Screwups (named for my dad, the prototypical Baby Boomer who owned all the best comic books as a kid and was heartbroken when his mom through them out once he went away to college):

1. With few exceptions – like Fantastic Four or Iron Man – keep your mask on and your secret identity secret. That’s why it’s called a SECRET identity.

2. And especially don’t tell it to some girl!

So even if I end up loving “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the odds look good that I’m gonna have to hear my dad grouse about it.

At any rate, “The Amazing Spider-Man” looks fairly, well, amazing and opens July 3.
