Entertaining but did we really need another remake already?

Rating: 6/10 (24 September 2014)

I'm not sure why studios feel the need to keep rebooting these comic book superhero movies every couple of years Batman, Superman etc. The last Spiderman wasn't even that long ago -4 years- did we really need another remake already? And on that note I preferred the version with Toby Maguire (Spiderman) especially this first inception story.
Anyways. This was still an entertaining movie, fun with good special effects. I enjoyed the cast; Rhys Ifans as the lizard man, Dennis Leary, Peter's parents Martin Sheen and Sally Field. Andrew Garfield was fine as Peter Parker, full of teen angst and nice to look at, but I just kept comparing him to Toby Maguire. The romance was kinda meh, it probably plays out better in real life (wink).
So once again we follow high-school outcast Peter Parker as he embraces his destiny as Spiderman, investigating his late father's secrets, falling for the beautiful Gwen Stacy and in this version battling Dr. Curt Connors aka the Lizard. 9/21/14
