Surprisingly impressive

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2015)

I was always a fan of the old Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies.......until last night. recently released on DVD and SKY Box Office is the latest movie adaptation of the comic book super hero. I was initially dubious as i was just expecting a remake, same story, same clichés just different actors, however I was impressively surprised. Andrew Garfield takes the title role and plays it so well and so much more convincingly than Tobey Maguire, and in a row with Uncle Ben and Aunt May he shows real angst that his parents weren't there to bring him up (great scene). Unlike in the originals, the love interest isn't portrayed like some drippy geek unable to get the girl, it came across much more realistic. The baddie, played by Rhys Ifans, was very good and the CGI creature was done very well. if you are a fan of the super hero genre of films or just want a good movie to watch when there is nothing on then you could do worse than take a look, I was very impressed and with talk of a sequel in the works I think it will prove to be more popular than the originals
