New clip from The Amazing Spider-Man featuring Flash Thompson and a game of hoops

Jun. 12, 2012by: Paul Shirey

Yet another clip has surfaced for the upcoming reboot of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN starring Andrew Garfield in the titular role.  In the clip we get a feel for some of the more "human" moments going on in the film, this one involving a tiff over a basketball, with Peter Parker having some fun with his bully nemesis and future best freind, Flash Thompson (Chris Zylka). 

Get in the game:

So, it seems like a nice, playful scene, but I feel like I've seen it before and I'm not exactly blown away by James Horner's score for it, either, although I'll relent that it's not a scene that brings out the bombastic action music we are accustomed to. 

"THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero."

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN opens on July 3, 2012.

Too late to reschedule this until next year for reshoots?

"Hey Peter, you broke the hoop!"

"I know, right?"

Oh My!

How whimsical!! That just amuses my whimsy bone. This clip totally does not suck and is everything I hoped to see with Parker dealing with the school bully. Raimi could learn a lesson that fight scenes are not cool, people just want whimsy music and basketball in their spiderman movie.

I don't think I'm seeing one damn new movie this year. When's the next Riddick movie coming out?

Spidey should go for High Jump for the Olympics. He can sure beat other players.

Teenwolf much?

Imagine if they brought back the 1985 Michael J Fox to be in this instead. Now that would be a movie!

I love Andrew Garfield, but if the 3-d trailer attached to Prometheus is what we can expect from this movie visually, I'm definitely not going to see this movie in the theater. I was starting to get a headache like 30 seconds into the fucking thing. Overkill visually on basically every movement Spiderman makes. The trailer was so bad I was starting to think the headache would continue into Prometheus... but thankfully Ridley Scott is a more subtle director and didn't need to throw every fucking

That comedy seemed very Sandlot/Home Alone-ish, which could work for Spidey.
