Good but flawed

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2017)

It is well made and shot! All the action scenes were gripping, especially the elevator scene. I like how Peter Parker is portrayed as an excited, bubbly dorkish character but I remember he's a total genius too (which he isn't in the movie?). Great side character choices though. The major hole in the movie (and what I had been really looking forward to watching) is his origin story. How he was bitten, how he adjusted to his powers, etc. People might say they've seen that already, and I understand their point of view, but for me, the way he became Spiderman is the most important part of his story. Also, he's more dependent on gadgets? His suit was damn cool! I totally enjoyed his mishaps with his suit and I would love to see more of it too. But I was expecting something that would give him that edge...traits and powers that are unique to Spiderman. His body was changed by a spider bite but he got only super-strength and that's kinda plain. Other than that, it's a fun watch.
