Truly "Amazing" Reboot

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2012)

Let's see if I can use the adjective in this movie's title until the very end of this review.
Well that movie was just....phenomenal. I really enjoyed this one and to be honest going in, I didn't think I was going to from what I saw from its previews. The story, I felt, was closer to the comics than the other 3 previous movies were, and I barely read them. Andrew Garfield did an excellent job as Peter Parker/Spiderman. I'm still undecided on if he did a better job than Tobey Maguire, but he was about just as good. Emma Stone did awesome as Gwen Stacy and still had me having, and probably many others, the biggest crush for her. The only flaws I kind of had with it was that instead of using the webbers from his own hands like in the comics, this version of Spider-Man had to use these techno-gadget like ones that I'm still confused on how they worked exactly. I also did kind of feel like there would be more fights between the main villain and the protagonist, but I somehow it still fulfilled me. Of course the ending was a cliffhanger, and like the Marvel movies nowadays, there were clues to the upcoming sequel (if there will be one). I'd definitely recommend this movie if you're ready for a new type Spider-Man. Just like I said about going in not having high expectations for this movie, I felt really "amazed" leaving this movie. If I were to rate it, I'd give it a 7.8/10.
