This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Larga.
Malas actuaciones.
Buenas escenas de acción. -
Firstly, I steadily losdt interest in the Sam Raimi trilogy. The first was alright for a fresh look at a new superhero, the second was nothing exciting and very over-rated and the third was just a big stylish mess. 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is probably equal to parts of 1 and 2, not yet a mess but over-rated, nothing exciting and a decent opening story.
I enjoyed the first 50 minutes or so - it was a nice, developing story about…

So, let's hear it. Is Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man worth watching?
FUCK NO!
I have no moral opposition to the fact that this is a remake of a movie that was only a decade old. That would have been fine, had it added anything to the story. And really, I expected to like this movie. I generally enjoy superhero movies. I loved Marc Webb's first film, 500 Days of Summer. I'm an enormous Dennis Leary fan, and love seeing…

Clunky, sappy, unnecessary superhero claptrap.

Far better than it had any right to be, but still not great. There is something Webb brings to the relationships here that really worked for me, or maybe it was just Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield that worked for me. Whatever it was, I really enjoyed them as characters and would have been happy to watch them interacting for a far larger portion of the film than they did.
Of course it's hard not to have this all feel…

Meh. Watchable, but I liked the series before the reboot better. Too many inconsistencies.

Add me to the list of people who found this reboot unnecessary.

Why I Like Marc Webb's Origin Film Slightly More Than Sam Raimi's Origin Film
By A Long-Time Spider-Man FanI prefer Martin Sheen's hard-scrabble and lovably gruff Uncle Ben over Cliff Robertson's benignly avuncular Ben Parker. Rosemary Harris was perfectly cast as Raimi's Aunt May, but Sally Field's May feels more like a character that has a life outside of the house (even if she's seemingly homebound). As fond as I am of supermodel / actress girlfriend types, bless these…

An entertaining, well-rounded film that showed Spider-man to be less of a superhero and more of a human being.

Everyone says that Tobey Maguire will always be Spider-Man... No, he won't. Andrew Garfield was SO much better than Maguire. With that, let's get the review started. I thought that it didn't get lost in style, or that it didn't get lost in substance, it mixed the two together PERFECTLY. Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans (as supporting), were great, but, I thought the visual effects on the lizard were a little too cheesy.
The origin story is too painful to…

Although Maguire will always be my Spiderman, Garfield played this extremely well and the different interpretation makes it solid and unique to the original trilogy. It was unexpectedly fantastic.
