the amazing spiderman

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

This film is far far superior to the first spiderman film.
Quite surprising that this was only rated a PG in the UK, I would have thought the 12A rating would have been more appropriate.
However, having not read any of the comics and only seen a few episodes from the old animated series for me there was the 'awww' moment when Mary Jane saw who Peter really was.
Alfred Molina was superb as Doc. Ock, those tentacles remind me of another film (oh yes, Matrix: Revolutions). Quite forward thinking our crazed scientist was, building the much larger device on a disused pier. That was the only let down of the film for me - that getting his creation wet would stop it. How original!
Nonetheless, this film deserves all the credit it gets. Fantastic.
