Played Up But Did Not Deliver

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2012)

When I went into this movie, I admit; I was pretty hyped about it. The main reason was the amount of publicity it received, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. In this case, it was a bad thing. I can't go on reviewing this movie without comparing it to the 3 previous Tobey Maguire movies. Andrew Garfield, who plays Spiderman in this movie, is tall, gangly, and cocky in my opinion. He takes off his mask way too many times to be wanting to keep his identity as Spiderman a secret. I thought Emma Stone was good as Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's boyfriend, but she found out he was Spiderman a little too soon.
Overall, this movie did not hit it off with me. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that I loved the other Spiderman movies and compared them too much to this installment. I hope this review was helpful to you and I'm sorry if it was not. God bless!
