Throwback Thursday: Screen Junkies releases "The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Honest Trailer"

More than three years after the film hit theaters and didn't really meet expectations for fans and critics alike, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 pretty much signaled the end of the Andrew Garfield era of Spider-Man Movies - but it is still appreciated by some for delivering one of the most iconic versions of the Spidey costume in live-action. The overstuffed plot and villains however didn't give the film much breathing room, and is one of the contributing factors to Sony Pictures starting from scratch and making a deal with Marvel Studios to bring the webhead to Marvel Cinematic Universe - which finally happened in last year's Captain America: Civil War and continues with this month's "Spider-Man: Homecoming".

Honest Trailers - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Now Screen Junkies is revisiting the "sins past" as it were, with a new "Honest Trailer" video on Marc Webb's ASM 2. Seeing it is just believing and laughing at some pretty bad and awful moments of what is a "premature reboot" of the Spidey franchise in film.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Andrew Garfield returns as Spider-Man (Sort Of) in an upcoming segment!

In a move that pretty much covers "Throwback Thursday" and will entertain fans who miss the actor playing a certain webslinging hero, Andrew Garfield will be appearing in this week's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to return as Spider-Man (sort of) in a bit that was teased by Kimmel in Twitter:

Our favorite Hollywood Blvd. Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield TONIGHT! pic.twitter.com/dro940viCN

— Jimmy Kimmel Live (@JimmyKimmelLive) October 27, 2016

While Tom Holland is now THE Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be appearing next in his own solo film with "Spider-Man Homecoming" next year, Andrew Garfield has moved on to bigger and brighter things in Hollywood, which includes the Mel Gibson film "Hacksaw Ridge".

Either way, can't wait to see the former Spidey in this segment!

Happy Birthday Andrew Garfield, aka the former "The Amazing Spider-Man"!

The world already has a new Spider-Man for cinema with Tom Holland, who made his debut with this year's "Captain America: Civil War", but before the young man stepped to the plate and prior to Sony Pictures making a deal with Marvel to put the webhead in the MCU, there was Andrew Garfield... Who played Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in two films by Marc Webb in 2012 and 2014 respectively, and today is his birthday!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The First 10 Minutes
It's literally a shame that he could not wrap up his tenure as the wallcrawler properly after "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", but Garfield - who also starred in "The Social Network" has since moved on past his heroic identity to play other roles in film - including the upcoming Mel Gibson film "Hacksaw Ridge". He may not be Spidey anymore, but his time was fun nonetheless along with Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy! Happy Birthday, Andrew Garfield!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Blu-Ray/ DVD combo pack cover and details emerge online

Just over a month after it officially hit theaters and continued the rebooted saga of Peter Parker in the big screen, Sony and Marvel have now officially released details and the cover to the Blu-Ray/ DVD combo pack for Marc Webb's second installment in his Spider-Man film series starring Andrew Garfield in the titular role, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Via EW, the details for the special features have been revealed, including how the filmmakers envisioned and made the sequel, as well as  in-depth featurettes on the characters, story, music, and of course deleted scenes. You can check out the full list of features via EW or Superherohype.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits Blu-ray and DVD on August 19 in the US.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Thoughts on the 30-Minute Preview, Comic Book & IMAX Poster, & Final International Trailer online

Not pulling the stops in the promotional campaign before its release, Sony Pictures and Marvel have released a couple of new posters and a FINAL international trailer to Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man film sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2! It's literally just a few weeks left until the release of the film, and after seeing the 30-Minute Preview c/o Columbia Picture Philippines, I cannot stress how exciting and intense this sequel is going to be!

The "30 Minute Preview" was a three act sequence that began with a prologue showing what truly happened to Peter Parker's parents, Richard and Mary Parker, just after leaving their boy with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Act Two then focuses on Spidey saving the day and fighting the man who would be Rhino, while barely trying to catch up with his own graduation! Then Peter tries to rekindle time with his love interest Gwen Stacy, only to have Electro make an entrance at Times Square. Finally, the preview ends with Harry Osborn teaming up with the electric powered villain himself, and Spidey in for a world of hurt with teases on what's to come for the sequel! These all illustrate what kind of sequel we're dealing with here, and it also proves 3D may be the best way to view and experience this superhero movie altogether! There's plenty of action, wise-cracking, and the kinds of dynamic and story that make this possibly THE Spider-Man movie we have been waiting for!

Right above and as seen in Superherohype is a stellar "comic book poster" that pays homage to the actual cover seen in "The Amazing Spider-Man #121", which in itself is a SPOILER for those who don't know their Spidey history well!

And here's a pretty daring IMAX poster by artist Matt Taylor, as seen in Comic Book.com

And finally, here's what may be the FINAL international trailer promoting the film!

Things are clearly going to go head-to-head when Peter Parker returns both in the big screen and to the Marvel Universe in comics proper, as big promotions and expectations are in full swing for The Amazing Spider-Man this year! That being said, Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Marvel have released THREE brand new international posters for Marc Webb's Spidey film sequel "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", featuring Andrew Garfield back as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in his traditional inspired new costume and Jamie Foxx all charged up as the villainous Electro...

Above of course is the "Face Off" poster between Spidey and Electro. There's something electrifying in the air alright.

Then we have Jamie Foxx as Electro, and boy does he look angry. Then the tagline "Enemies Will Unite" foreshadows the team-up between him and possibly the other villains featured in the sequel, which would be Rhino, Green Goblin, and/ or other mystery villains Oscorp may unleash? We'll find out soon enough when the movie comes out.

And of course how can we forget our friendly neighborhood webslinger himself? Charging into action and avoiding Electro's lightning bolts in an epic new poster!

Marvel officially confirms Peter Parker's return in relaunched "The Amazing Spider-Man" series for Marvel NOW!

Well NOW it's pretty much official... Peter Parker is INDEED coming back this April in a new "The Amazing Spider-Man" ongoing, and following the leaked cover of a Marvel NOW! Previews issue for March-April earlier this week, the House of Ideas has officially announced via word from The New York Daily News that the one and only webslinger is returning this April for a brand new relaunched series, with Pete back in control of his body.

But the lingering questions are how did he return? And what happens to Doctor Octopus' reign as The Superior Spider-Man? Those legitimate concerns coming from the comic book world were addressed by none other than Spidey writer Dan Slott himself, who's going to pen the new ongoing and team up with fellow Spider-Man comic veteran and artist, Humberto Ramos.

Via Marvel.com, The New York Daily News and Comic Book Resources, Slott was interviewed and reflected on the fact that Peter was, for all intense and purposes "dead" during Ock's run as Spidey. He acknowledges that the big game changer he implemented a year ago was challenging.

"To do that for a solid year of my life, that’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do -- to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them. One of them with an honest-to-God Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying.”

And despite the "Superior" change, now it's on the mill that Pete's comeback is inevitable, and it's not purely coincidental that it happens to fall around the same time that Marc Webb's Spider-Man film sequel, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", comes out in theaters this coming May.

"We did it this way because no one was expecting it. Everyone out there assumed we'd have a big reveal later. People thought we'd bring Peter back in a year's time -- or right before the next Spider-Man movie," Slott said of the ghostly Peter Parker shortly after the debut of "Superior Spider-Man" #1. "Everyone was so savvy with how this all works that I thought the best way to keep people off their game was to just put that card on the table right from the get go. You're all so sure it was coming -- Well? Here it is! But if you think that's all there is, get ready to be wrong."

So there you have it... Peter Parker is returning... But will it be something expected? We'll find out in the coming months ahead as we count down to the "end" of Superior Spider-Man... And The RETURN of The Amazing Spider-Man!

The Amazing Spider-Man: ASM 2 International Posters and Peter Parker returns on new ASM comic series on April!

Looks like it's going to be a big welcome ceremony for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man come April-May season this year, as not only has Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Marvel roll out three BRAND NEW international posters to promote the webslinger's return to cinema with "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", but the House of Ideas commemorates that occasion by bringing the very man who's been "dead" for over a year back... As writer Dan Slott and artist Humberto Ramos confirm that Peter Parker IS Spider-Man again with the relaunching of "The Amazing Spider-Man" series in Marvel NOW!

As you see above, Pete's coming back, and one has to wonder how Otto Octavius and "The Superior Spider-Man" will end after the pivotal storyline "Goblin Nation". We can only wonder. For more on the story and the revealing image of Peter's return above, visit the source post at Comic Book.com.

Courtesy of Columbia Pictures PH, here are three new posters promoting the action to come.
