Very enjoyable, well written story of spidey

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2012)

Spider man returns to cinema screens with a very enjoyable reboot to the franchise which lies closer to its comic book roots than the original. The amazing spider-man was not a movie that held a very big standing in my years list of anticipated films with the release of Prometheus and the dark knight rises but after watching this flick I can honestly say viewers will not be disappointed. The movie follows our nerdy but lovable protagonist Peter Parker and as the movie begins we gain a deeper insight into the history he posses than is first demonstrated in the original spider man. The movie is effectively paced and never leaves to much to the imagination. We learn about Dr. Connor's desire to regenerate his arm which leads him to become the reptile beast we have seen previously in the comics and the animated series. Not expecting much I was Definitely pleasantly surprised while watching this movie, I became engaged and always wanted to learn more about the characters involved. The only negative points for me was that in some scenes Andrew Garfield was slightly emotionless in heart wrenching scenes and that parts of the movie were in my opinion 'cheesy' (reference the last minute save by the crane operator) but asides from that very good film that is Definitely more than a cheap weekend flick.
