AMAZING spiderman

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2012)

This film is the reason for the phrase 're-boot'!
Now I must start by saying I did not hate the original spiderman films and in fact still Think they are great iconic superhero films.
That being said this new addition adds a great deal of emotional depth to Peter Parker and the spiderman franchise in general. So many people complain that the character has become weaker, but what everyone has to realise is, this is about a young adult who is only just becoming aware of his new powers and how to use them. Not only that but he is still trying to find his place in this world and battling many emotions such as love and revenge. How many of us can say we were fully established as the people we are now at such a young age?
I feel the film also does a great job of showing just how hard it actually is to be a superhero by showing the injuries to Peter and how the city gets behind him to help him. (one of my favourite concepts of the spiderman comics). Admittedly also showcased in spiderman 2.
In my opinion this film has added a great amount of story to this franchise and has planted the seed for many great epic sequels to come.
I would just like to add that all the naysayers of this film complaining about many scenes being similar to the first film seem to be talking out their...... This film Is greatly different! There are a few similar scenes but then how many ways can you think of to say he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his uncle dies??? Really!!
