Since when can Spider-Man catch busses and cars on his back? Was this guy always this strong? He's more like The Amazing Super-Man. The action even hints at him being faster than a speeding bullet.
I get it -- they have to up the ante, but your protagonist should remain grounded in a realiable world. You have to know what to expect. If the guy can do anything, if his abilities keep shifting, the viewer's orientation will loosen until the screws fall out.
If it gets worse audiences are going to do a fade. Either that or they'll just become drooling eye-candy junkies who don't care what superhero has which powers or what brand of silliness a particular franchise is selling as long as there are crashes, explosions, a token love interest, and the music is so loud it leaves you deaf for a couple hours after the movie is over (which would preclude the possibility of post-movie analysis regarding gaps in logic or overly convenient coincidences).
Thinking about it, maybe it's too late. Maybe the guy has always been able to do that stuff.
Anyway -- new German trailer with new footage...
