Expected Better! 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (14 September 2014)

Review: I know that I might be the only one that thinks this, but I didn't really enjoy this film. It's not as good as the original Spider-Man movies, which had great action throughout, and the storyline was a bit weak. Electro was hardly in the movie and the showdown wasn't that great. As for the other baddies, they weren't that brilliant either and none of them was close to the amazing fight on the train with Doc Ock. The CGI was quite good and Spider- man looked pretty real when he was jumping from building to building but that was about it. I wasn't that impressed with the first one and this one just follows suit. They need to bring in some decent baddies with a decent storyline because I expected much better from this reboot. Disappointing!
Round-Up: Jamie Foxx was pretty poor in this film, but I don't blame him. The geeky character really didn't suit him and the haircut was bloody ridiculous. Personally, I think that the main problem with the film is that there is too many things going on at once. You have this love story which becomes a bit tedious after a while, and then you've got a geeky scientist that falls in a pool of electric eels and becomes Electro and you've got another story about a teenager whose dying and needs Spider-Man's blood to survive. On top of that Spider- Man is saving the world and trying to find out what happened with his parents so the whole thing is all over the place. On the plus side, I didn't fall asleep through the epic movie and the attention to detail was quite good but I hope that the next instalment has some more action and less chatting.
Budget: $200million Worldwide Gross: $708.3million (WOW!)
I recommend this movie to people who are into the Spider-Man franchise. 5/10
