The Amazing Not-Quite-Spider-Man

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2012)

All the reasons not to see this movie can be summed up in one sentence: at a critical point in the movie, Spider-man is hanging off a building and needs to be rescued, as he has suddenly and inexplicably forgotten that he can climb on walls.
There are a hundred other reasons why this movie is bad, like how there's plot reset every thirty minutes that causes all characters to forget their previous motivations and never mention them again, but the above should cover the worst of it: whenever convenient, Spider-man forgets that he is Spider-man, and the writer and director somehow assumed that you would too. And you just might, because aside from the names and the costume, there's not much left of Peter Parker or Spider-man in this story reboot.
The action sequences are okay (but not great), and if all you want is another generic superhero movie, then this is decent, but that's all you'll get: a generic, forgettable movie about someone with a vaguely defined set of super powers.
