WOW!!!
Just got back from seeing the 20th Anniversary re-release of ET. It was very good, it really stands up well vs. time and the new improved scenes look good.
Prior to going, I had heard that the new preview trailer for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and and was really looking forward to seeing it. The preview was great and the movie looks good enough that it will make you forget all about Episode I and that Jar-Jar Binks.
Anyway, after being dazzled by it's non-stop action, I was given an even bigger surprise, the preview trailer for the new Spiderman movie.
WOW!!!
The Spiderman preview tralier was even better the the Star Wars one. The movie looked just awesome and the action and effects looked incredible. I know that the movie version has no relationship to the IOA ride and that Universal is not involved with the Movie in anyway whatsoever, but the look and action of both are very similar.
There are "flying scenes" through New York City in the movie that will make any rider of the IOA ride feel like the ride utilizes the same film. There are even similarities between the movie's bad guy, the Green Goblin, and one of the IOA ride's bad guys, Hobgoblin. They both fly around on a sled looking thing and both throw explosives. And the movie's Spiderman scenes where he is swinging around from here to there and then landing on vehicles and buildings, etc. also will remind people of the IOA ride or vice versa.
Now I really can't wait until May 3rd.
This movie is really going to be a hit if it even lives up to half of the preview trailer's hype. And if Universal can market their own Spiderman ride correctly, they can piggyback the success of the movie into new visitors to IOA.
HAVE FUN
P.S. And as an added bonus, they also had a Scooby Doo preview trailer and despite my reservations to the premise of making a live action version of this cartoon classic( ) it looks like an entertaining kiddie flick that I won't mind taking my kids to.
