"The Los Santos Times," "The New York Times," "Times," "CNN News"...

Numerous media outlets launched reviews of this live-action 'Spider-Man'.

Previously, there was great controversy regarding the director's casting choices.

Xu Can, a yellow-skinned Chinese person, had faced boycotts from Marvel fans for playing Spider-Man.

After the trailer aired, the voices of boycott diminished significantly.

Thanks to the outstanding effects, some media outlets gave positive reviews.

The Los Santos Times stated:

"... Judging from the trailer, this live-action film might sweep away the gloom of the past and open a new door for American comic movies."

"Director Mark Wei Bu, producer Avi Arad, and Stan Lee have spoken highly of the lead actor Xu Can."

"'Xu is the most spiritual actor I have ever seen; he is the best Peter Parker,' said Marvel founder Stan Lee."

"According to Sony Entertainment's original plan, 'Spider-Man' was scheduled to be released in the summer of '07..."

"But the production progress advanced unusually fast, and Sony Entertainment boldly decided to move the film up to this Christmas!"

"Believing what the trailer says, this 'Spider-Man' will bring everyone a shocking audio-visual experience."

However, there were also many media outlets singing a different tune, such as the "New York Times."

"Peter Parker is a high school student in the Queens district of New York, a white teenager! This has long been deeply ingrained in the comic community!"
