Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 11 Honest Trailers - The Amazing Spider-Man

Honest Trailers is a web series that breaks down the most popular movies, pointing out their most absurd and predictable plots, their signature cliches, and more. In the eleventh episode of the first season, the series takes on the superhero flick, The Amazing Spider-Man.

The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot of the Spider-Man franchise that starred Andrew Garfield as the webslinger who goes up against a diabolical company at the cost of his loved ones. The Honest Trailers team takes us back to this movie's shortcomings right from the get-go. They start by discussing how it rushes to reboot the Spider-Man series, just five years after Sam Raimi's interpretation concluded, and how the franchise's titular superhero has relatively unchanged origins.

The video weaves in and out of the movie's plot points, analyzing the film's central romance between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. The Honest Trailers team points out how Gwen Stacy's character serves no real purpose other than to be a love interest for Peter, despite her formidable intelligence. They also talked about Emma Stone's performance, which the team admits is the only saving grace of the movie. The video also hilariously takes jabs at the film's artwork that was apparently inspired by The Human Torch's CGI from the previous Spider-Man movies and the villain, which some described as "Green Goblin Light" among the Spider-Man fans.

Honest Trailers then highlights how The Amazing Spider-Man missed the mark with the iconic web-slinger. From his shaky motivation to his humorless demeanor, the Honest Trailers team is quick to point out that this Spider-Man didn't feel authentic compared to the comic book hero he's supposed to portray.

The web series then explores the movie's over-reliance on technology, including Spider-Man's costume, which contradicts the significant point of the character's creation. The Honest Trailers team jokes that Spider-Man becomes Iron Man with his sleek, militarized costume that comes with a built-in iPod. The video also addresses the subplot between Peter and his dead father that seems to have no bearing on the plot at all.

As the Honest Trailers team points out, The Amazing Spider-Man was a reboot that attempted to set things right, yet only managed to further confuse audiences. The video wraps up by stating that the movie failed to add anything new to the Spider-Man franchise, and ultimately, the only notable outcome of this movie was Emma Stone's career.

In conclusion, Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 11, "Honest Trailer - The Amazing Spider-Man," is a hilarious episode that takes a critical look at The Amazing Spider-Man. The team's commentary is sharp, witty, and spot-on. The video manages to be both informative and entertaining, giving audiences a new lens through which to view the film. Overall, it's an enjoyable episode for fans of the Spider-Man franchise and those who want a good laugh.
