Unnessacery, but not bad.

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2012)

I loved Sam Raimi's first trilogy and was very Skeptical about this film, and thought it wasn't going to be good. Well it was okay, not as good as the first three films, but better than all the other stuff Marvel has been spewing out.
It starts out as a generic high school movie, an outcast gets bullied and has a crush on a girl, blah blah. At first the movie was pretty boring but it picked up about 40 minutes in, to the point where I didn't notice the time going by. The origins of Spider-man are told again, only in a different way. This film felt like it had more emotion in it than the first Spider-man. Martin Sheen was good as uncle Ben, Curt Conners was nothing new. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone did a better job than Tobey and Kirsten in the previous entries. I still prefer Tobey Maguire as Spider-man though
Over all this film was good popcorn entertainment, but nothing too special. It's not the best Spider-man movie but it is a good start for the next series of films.
