Too similar to the past

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2012)

I think I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more if I had not seen the previous movies. I realize that it is going to have similar events and plot lines as Spider-man (2002)being based on the same comics, but it was a little too similar for my liking. I appreciate originality and I felt it played more as a re-make then a reboot. Even the scene in the beginning where a young man is being bullied with a food tray reminded me of the scene in the 2002 movie where Peter uses the tray to show his new skills. I thought by adding things so reminiscent of the past movie the director was almost making fun of it, and trying to show that he could do it better.
I am not saying it was bad, it was a great movie. Just a little to similar a little too soon.
