In the opening seconds of the trailer we learn that our high school protagonist’s life is not easy, that’s he’s made many powerful enemies and that he’s put those he loves in danger. Oh, and he’s haunted by the truth about his parents.
Sounds like some third-rate, pony attempt at a modern-day The Catcher In The Rye, eh? Well, wipe that furrowed brow, my friend, and prepare to rejoice. It’s not. It’s the third – and we’re assuming final – trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. Which obviously means it’s aces.
And, thankfully, portentous voiceovers aside, it is. Andrew Garfield looks to have given Spidey a new lease of life, and The Lizard looks suitably menacing.
Expect lots of jumping and leaping off tall buildings; lots of anguished screams and forlorn cries of ‘Peter!’ and lots of buildings collapsing, vehicles crashing into each other and, in the middle of it all, a boy-man dressed in a red and blue bodysuit.
Like we said, aces.
The Amazing Spider-Man hits cinemas on July 3.

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
