It doesn't look set to be as terrible as Green Lantern I don't think, but it certainly doesn't look like anything special. Complicating Spiderman's background with secret experiments or whatever is uneccessary, and having every single scene of Spiderman at night does seem like a really stupid attempt to make things seem more cool and edgy. Spiderman always was a colorful hero, and most of his villains are too, he's not Batman and they shouldn't be trying to make him into one. But the darkness might also be about hiding the CGI since the Lizard looks to be nothing but computer generated, and having the head still mostly human seems very odd.
The other thing that just seems odd to me, when they announced the reboot was moving Peter back to high school I figured there might be some reason for that, making him seem younger, a bit more overconfident, play up his school relationships more. But we only get one brief shot of him throwing a guy against the lockers and then, boom he's working with Connors in the Oscorp lab it seems and the only student that matters is Gwen, and he's pretty much super serious the whole way through barring the car thief segment. Maybe there's more in the movie of course but just from the trailer it seems like making him younger was done without much point. It doesn't hurt anything and is more like the comics I suppose, it just doesn't seem to have any significance in the movie though so far as the trailer is concerned.
