Good take on the COMIC

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2014)

**Ranting and a LOT of spoilers!!! OK, I don't know what is with everyone giving this movie such a bad review, but lighten up already! Aren't you supposed to go to see movies and have a good time? Of course it's not going to be extremely realistic or anything like that, unless you're seeing a documentary, IT'S A FICTION MOVIE!!! I am a huge Spider-Man fan, mainly from reading a lot of the comics when I was younger and I feel like this reboot is doing very well with comparing it to the Amazing Spider-Man series. I could say that it's completely inaccurate of how Electro is portrayed - he's green and yellow in the Amazing Spider-Man comics, he also got his powers by being struck by lightning. Did that happen to him? No. But I think what they came up with was somewhat interesting. I've also seen people review about how the character for Maxwell Dillon was such a stereotypical nerd, but how else would they have done it? I thought the character was perfect before he turned into Electro. Also, The Rhino is not a guy in a robotic suit either.
I'm seeing reviews about people getting mad about them killing off Gwen Stacy. Guess what? It wasn't the writer or director. If you guys actually read the comics, IT HAPPENS IN THE COMIC BOOK SERIES. I personally think it happened one movie too soon, but I knew it was coming. And trust me, I hate MJ as much as any other Gwen Stacy fan out there, but guess what? We can't stop her from coming back to this reboot even though her character already had three movies of her own in the original trilogy of Spider-Man. They actually killed Gwen Stacy pretty accurately too. I was very worried they were going to do something completely different and terrible. She dies by hitting her head due to Spidey's web catching her too late in the movie. In the comic she dies by snapping her neck from the impact of Spidey's web catching her. Close enough, and I was OK with that. I feel like they decided to kill her in this movie rather than the third or fourth because she was such a likable character, they didn't want people getting too attached; people seeing the movie would have probably gotten a lot angrier too.
Just watch this movie with an open mind, I also feel like people would understand what's going on even more if they read the comic series that this reboot is based off of.
