This web is not strong enough to hold you...

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2012)

The next generation Spidey is here to save the world from a scientist turned evil !! Does it excites you ? Not anymore right ! Neither The Amazing Spiderman has got anything new to offer you. Though Andrew Garfield plays great as a new Peter Parker/Spiderman, but director Marc Webb failed to keep up the same adrenaline level the way Sam Raimi did.
The movie starts with the childhood of Peter when his parents leave him to his uncle Ben and aunt May when they found themselves in some bad consequences. Peter wants to know the reason behind his parents sudden disappearance which leads him to meet his father's old time friend Dr. Curt Connors, who is working on cross genetic breeding with lizard DNA which (very obvious) later becomes the reason behind his turning into evil Dr. Lizard. However, the secret of Peter's parents has not been disclosed completely and kept for future movies in the series.
The Amazing Spiderman is reboot of the Spidey series based on 2nd generation of Stan Lee's Spiderman, who does not exerts spider web naturally from his wrist the way old Spiderman use to do. Instead, the new Spidey goes with the idea of web shooters around his wrist which was actually the part of original Spiderman comics. The only thing Peter got from the bite of radioactive spider is super active alert sense.
The thing which The Amazing Spiderman really lacked is something dark and serious stuff like Batman and Iron Man series. Movie goers are now no more interested in exact comical adaptation. Audience is much matured because of the bars raised by movies like The Dark Knight. Moreover, after watching the blockbuster The Avengers, which is the assembly of six superheroes, released in same current year , new Spidey shows no charm to keep you spellbound in his new web.
The only best thing about The Amazing Spiderman is the choice of Andrew Garfield as the new Peter Parker/Spiderman. Andrew has done a great job and has proved himself to be the perfect next generation Spidey but, the movie revolves more around Peter Parker's life rather than Spiderman. Moreover, neither Uncle Ben and Aunt May have not shown strong influence on Peter's life nor Uncle Ben has uttered the infamous line "With great power comes with great responsibility" in the whole movie. However, Andrew's Peter Parker is smart and witty unlike Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker (who was dull and sad most of the time in first two installment of previous series). Andrew doesn't disappoints you, however, we hope he will improve with the series to do the Tobey act of Spiderman 3. Still you would agree with director Marc Webb's words, "You will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."
Overall you can enjoy only if you do erase the sweet memories of the previous Spiderman series and watch it with no high expectations.
