It was... all right.

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2012)

I normally only review movies with friends. I have never gone online and posted my opinion about a movie so this review for me is a first. So let me start this review off by saying I'm not a comic book fan or superhero fan in the first place. The Avengers was "Meh" for me while it was "Wahoo!" for others. I walked into the movie theatre not knowing what to expect. My thoughts were "Why are they redoing Spider-Man and why is there no Toby Maguire?". I guess I don't watch enough previews or trailers. I basically pre-rated it and judged it thinking it was going to be a complete waste of time and money.
Fast forwarding now... So I watch the movie and I was very surprised and impressed with what I just watched. The beginning was fast and the whole hide and go seek thing was extremely confusing. A good movie can establish characters within the first 10-20 minutes of the movie, and I felt like this process was dragging on and on and on. I was laughing at how dumb the movie was until about half way through the movie where that laughter turned into laughter having nothing to do with a flaw. So finally things began to pick up and I actually started enjoying the movie. The acting was so-so. Mostly the one liner actors were the ones I had issues with, but other than that the acting was pretty convincing. I was impressed and I didn't feel like I was watching an overrated superhero movie(though it did have many superhero movie clichés).
I'm not a movie reviewer and I have a tendency to ramble, so here's how I basically feel about the movie. Dragged on in the beginning but eventually it became watchable once Spider-Man starts kicking butt. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who likes action, with some subtle humor and a little bit of romance. I do not, however, recommend IMAX 3D. 3D didn't do too much to the visuals so just see it in the regular theatre and maybe you can use the extra $7 to buy yourself one overpriced soda. The Amazing Spiderman, it's watchable, but you will notice flaws that ruin the mood at times. Also... make sure you're with friends(but really... who goes to a movie alone?O_o). Friends always make movies a lot more entertaining.
