Spidey for girls

Rating: 2/10 (4 August 2014)

Considering the previous versions by Sam Raimi and even the first one by Marc Webb I can easily say that this is not a real spidey movie, at its best, it is (mostly) a love movie for girls.. This is the first comic book movie which my girlfriend liked and this alone indicates that there's something wrong with this film.
As a big of fan of Spider-Man since I was 5, I am not quite happy to see Peter Parker with tears in his eyes in every 15 minutes. If I would like to see some romance and crying, I would pick another title. I am not sure if it's the personal choice of Mr.Garfield to portray a comic hero like this, but the exaggerated romantic sense and posing as a so-called charismatic lover is nothing to do with the Spider-Man. Physically, he is a good choice for the character and totally matching the original drawings by Steve Ditko. I wish I could say the same thing for the script and/or the artistic ability of the leads.
The only thing hooked me up with this movie is the good portrayal of Green Goblin, by Dane DeHaan. I can also say cgi scenes were almost flawless and very lively, but I am afraid that's about it.
5/10
