Full disclosure: Part of my distaste for this film comes from my passion for the Spider-Man character. I fully admit that my fandom colors my opinion of the film

I really, really wanted to like this film. and for a third of it I did. The first act does a wonderful job at establishing who Peter Parker is, and why he is one of the most beloved comic book characters of all time. And, even if we are retreding on…

Por que hacer un reboot de una historia conocida por todos... te ahorrarías como 40 minutos si obvias que toda la gente conoce el origen de tu super héroe... incluso lo puedes poner como flashback, y ese tiempo que te ahorras lo puedes aprovechar en otras cosas.

¿Que es por que hay cambio de elenco? Por favor, cuantas películas de James Bond se hicieron y cuantos actores han interpretado al agente doble cero y en chingomil películas no nos contaron…

After the abysmal Spider-Man 3, the franchise was in need of a shake up. And a shake up it received. New director (the aptly named Marc Webb), new Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), new villain (Rhys Ifans as The Lizard) but, in terms of style, content and tone, things stay pretty much the same. Not a million miles from the Sam Raimi films, this takes us back to the beginning, in an attempt to draw younger viewers in. It means we…

This film for me was a jumble of hit and misses. I think it did really well in terms of casting: Andrew Garfield deserves major props for embodying the awkward, gawky teenage male that is so recognized from the comics -- much more so than Mr. Maguire (sorry all you Raimi fans). He really understood the role, and with his real life girlfriend and talented actress Emma Stone beside him, both the roles of Peter and Gwen came to life…

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is a new take on Spider-Man mythology and less cartoonish than Sam Raimi’s interpretation of the world of Spider-Man. The film adds a couple of new things that weren't used in the previous films like the existence of Peter’s parents and Peter using a web-slinging device instead of it coming from his wrists organically. Also, Peter’s transformation is a little more credible as he discovers his power accidently by way of a subway altercation. While Tobey Maguire…

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…
