More of a TV pilot than a movie

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2012)

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is just plain bad. It plays more like a TV series pilot episode than a major motion picture. For example, there is no subtlety in any of the scenes, whether it's Flash being a bully or Peter discovering his powers.
Also, Peter getting bitten and discovering those abilities happened very quickly, just as one would see in a TV series pilot episode, where the story and characters are established rather quickly.
I really felt like I was watching a TV show on MTV rather than a movie. And, one doesn't have to look far to see how it's supposed to be done. "Spider-Man" is available for all to see.
