Good improvement over the previous one

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2012)

When the first spider-man movie came out, in 2002, i was 12 years old, the movie had a huge impact on me. I pasted spider-man stickers everywhere in the house. I used to fantasize about me being spider-man and used to go jumping over walls. Me and my friend even had a cable wire tied to a tree branch and used to swing holding the wire making big circles in air. The thrill we used to get was priceless. Oh, those were the days. Before Batman Begins trilogy happened spider-man was my favorite superhero. Even to this day my hand automatically goes in the pose to release web sometimes. My point is i loved spider-man.
The next two installments were also fantastic. It seems they planned to make a 4th one but Tobey Maguire wanted to be the part of this project only if Sam Raimi was directing it. So they chose Andrew Garfield. He was good in The Social Network.
The movie is very high on technical values. Not only the movie but also the making of the movie. This one is very refreshing and takes a realistic approach towards the main character rather than being clichéd. Marc Webb directed 500 days.. it was a very very good movie. The romance in this movie is portrayed much better than in the original.
It did not have much action compared to the original 1st. But the action sequences were very well done. Andrew Garfield has done very good job in the stunts and also in displaying different emotions. Emma Stone is like a doll. She is also a talented actress. The movie did not answer Peter's past life questions, it only raised more.
The web releasing gadget, the suit are a good improvement over the original. Some people on the message boards are questioning why a reboot? Well as long they are good, I say keep em coming. And this sure did not disappoint me. So Iam not complaining. Though the action could have been more. It is very well written, directed and acted. After the movie ended, I was craving for more, I did not want it to end.
All-in-all nice movie. Emma Stone looked really gorgeous. And the ending was good too. I cant wait for the sequel.
