Very disappointed !!!

When they use the title The "AMAZING" Spiderman, you would expect to be amazed and be thrown into comic book heaven. Sadly this was not the case.
I thought retelling the origins story wasted time and was unnecessary, but it was clear that they wanted to put their different take of Spiderman to the masses.
I did not gel with Garfield as Spidey but did with the nerdy Maguire.
In this version Spiderman willing accepts stolen goods from the man that then goes onto kill his Uncle. So it is not just a case of him letting the criminal get away, he was actually implicit in the crime. So I don't think he has a valid reason to get on his high horse and try to catch the villain.
A lot of daft things happened as already mentioned. A beer bottle placed on his 'sleeping' head causes no reaction, but a single drop of water running down the side of the bottle onto his head causes him to wake and react instinctively? He displayed much of his super hero ability unmasked so it would not really take long for anyone to work out Parker was Spiderman.
Very rushed and did not add anything new. Should have just created an action movie from the outset. We all know who Spiderman is, so cut to the chase and spend the time and money on a proper storyline and special effects.
