I never felt less impressed by a movie poster. Just to be fair, I admit I have never been a fan of this reboot: first because I liked the Raimi/Maguire's one and secondly, is it really necessary to reboot a movie that came out in 2002?
Of course the poster says this is going to be the untold story: really?
What has been untold in the previous Spiderman movies? I hope at least they will focus on the introspective life of the radioactive spider before biting our favorite nerd.

However, the untold-dark theme seems borrowed from the Dark Knight saga. If the goal is to transmit an obscure, gloomy mood I wonder how it will match with a superhero that is known for his red/blue spandex costume and his sense of humor. Seriously, what's so dark in Spiderman?
Graphically speaking, this poster looks like minimum time has been spent on it. I am not completely sold on the photoshop work on the legs, it seems like Andrew Garfied can bend the perspective rules, beside the gravity ones. Regarding the font used, well it just seems like the one used in the Raimi's saga but vertically scaled up and definitely not visually striking.
In short, this tells me that at the end this movie will be nothing more than a washed out copy of 2002 Spiderman movie but, of course, in 3d...how lucky!
