[Excerpt]

Kloves [screenwriter on the film] had the following to offer, in terms of how director Marc Webb is attempting to make the action in Amazing Spider-Man more involving – with the assistance of 3D elements:

“… What impressed me about Mark Webb’s pre-vises was that they were really coherent, you could follow the action. There’s sometimes guys who do that stuff and it’s like eye-candy, but you have no idea what you’re watching. With this, what I saw in the pre-vises, Mark had designed it in such a way that you were really following Spider-Man as he was engaging in these action sequences, and it made it much more thrilling because you felt you were with him… Mark was really, really schooling himself in the 3D of it all. He wanted to really shoot the movie in sort of pure 3D. I think he wanted to try and do it in a very sophisticated way.”

Since Kloves says he worked primarily on character development and dialogue for The Amazing Spider-Man, it’s all the more assuring to hear him talk about striking a more naturalistic tone with his script work. While a lot of fans certainly like Raimi’s Spider-Manfor its occasionally cheesy dialogue and conversations, there are also definitely a lot of people who could do without the groan-inducing one-liners (“I think I have a superhero stalker”, anyone?). So the reboot at least has that – and the promise of cool 3D Spidey action – going for it.
