Twilight Spiderman, Are you team Spiderman or team Parker?

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2012)

I apologize ahead of time if there is bad spelling or grammar. This being my first review for IMDb, I wanted it to be a positive one and I was waiting for The Amazing Spider-man to do it. I must admit I had high expectations for this movie. Setting myself for High expectation is not a great thing to do, because it could never live up to my expectations. I knew I would be let down a little. I had no idea that my expectation would be crushed. First thing I should start off with. If you are expecting a Spider-man story, don't. Expect a Peter Parker love story with some great action. I have read spider-man stories for years and I loved the connection that Gwen Stacey and Spider-man had together. What I do not like is twihard, romance novel like eye candy up on the screen. When sitting in the movie, I had to deal with the girls talking about how hot they thought Peter Parker was. My immediate thought was "Peter is me, a nerd, sense when has any girl found me attractive?" I realized that he was the epitome of what tweens found attractive. He may be playing a nerd but he certainly does not look like one. Then I experienced something that I hope no spider-man fan should ever go through. when Peter took of his clothes, My EARS FELT LIKE THEY WHERE GOING TO SPLIT OPEN! Because the girls in the theater screamed so loud for peter having no shirt on. I should have sold my ticket on ebay. There was redeeming factors for this movie, like I said before there is some great action and an amazing cast to pull it off. The relationship between Peter, Dr.Connors and the friction between Captain Stacy was great. The origin story of Peter seemed more plausible then Sam's Spider-man (More realistic?) But what made this crushingly unwatchable, for me, was the way the romance was written, then seeing it play out. This coming from a guy who love some well written romance movies (like The Notebook). What I am trying to say is. Headline for this movie should be. Spider-man, a love story. Maybe I am over reacting. I did see it with a bunch of screaming girls. If you are going to see this movie. Whether you think it will be good or not, see it a good two weeks after the release to avoid the large Twilight crowd.
