I'm not finding this reboot all that enjoyable

Rating: 4/10 (17 April 2014)

I am not really all that sure about this film, and as I was watching it just kept on thinking that I found the Sam Rami/Toby Maguire Spiderman films so much better. In fact, right from the beginning of this film, with Spiderman running around teasing the crooks that he was chasing, made me think that this film was actually quite stupid. Also, there is also the case that the current actor playing Spiderman reminds me of the actor that played Harry Osborne in the Rami movies.
There are two bad guys in this film, Electro and the Green Goblin, and I am not really sure why they subtitled this film 'The Rise of Electro' because it appears that Electro will not be returning for any further films (or I do not suspect that he will) though it does appear that the Green Goblin will. The other thing that annoyed me was that in the Rami films Spiderman never kills anybody whereas in this film he does. I suspect that the reason that Spiderman does not attempt to kill his enemies is the same reason that Batman refuses to do so, and that is because by doing so one will end up becoming just like those they are hunting.
It also seemed to be somewhat more cobbled together, especially with the Osborne, Peter Parker friendship. It seemed as if, all of a sudden, it turns out that they were friends whereas in the Rami films it was established right from the beginning that they were friends and had been friends for quite a while. Oh, and there is a mid-credits scene in this film, but I am not going back just to find out what it was (because I can find out from the internet anyway), but I guess next time I won't simply rush out of the cinema to go to the toilet (and it is even more annoying with end credit scenes).
