Traditional but new

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2014)

I loved Sam Raimi's Spiderman and Spiderman 2. Unfortunately that third movie was bad. Too much villains, too much everything. I was little nervous to see this 2010's Peter Parker. I hadn't seen the first one. So I went in to the movies and was pretty glad when I came out. The movie was pleasant, not perfect but worth of your money. Although the ambitious plot is this movie's weakness. First the visual styling were great. I really enjoy the cartoon like environment and Spiderman's climbing/flying in the sky. Andrew Garfield was surprisingly good in his role. I liked his arrogance and how he mocked his enemies. He brings also little energy for Peter character, more enthusiasm but in my opinion you can't compare Toby and Andrew. They both are great and unique. The enemies were alright but I think they had more potential than writers gave to them. Especially I liked a lot of Jaime Foxx's performance. You could empathize his character and the way he will be changed to super villain, I was positively surprised that they had tried to work out something accident styled situation which would be the reason how he will get his powers. What about Harry... I think Dane Dehaan made it alright. Compared to William Dafoe he didn't shine but I think the problem was the writers. Because there were so many enemies they didn't get a chance to change something more. But the acting was good and I loved that the director and the writers were surprisingly faithful to the original story. It was pleasant and even if I lost little of my enthusiasm in the middle of the movie I really enjoyed the end. It was exciting, and those who are very keen on to the cartoon details will be satisfied. If you have time, I recommend you go to see this movie.
