The Amazing Spiderman..Worth the wait. Worth the excitement.

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2012)

Right, so I have been anxiously waiting for the release of this movie since the first trailer hit the internet. Being a Spidey fan since I was about 4, The idea of a new Spiderman movie after 5 long years of waiting since the last one in 2007 (Spiderman) made me quite happy. After just watching the movie I can safely say that it in my mind it beats it's prequels in every aspect. The story dwells into the life of an average teenager Peter Parker who is keen on unsolving the mystery of his parents disappearance, which if you recall was never mentioned in the Spiderman trilogy of 2002 (correct me if I'm wrong). This leads to the introduction of Dr. Connors played by Rhys Ifans as a colleague of Peter Parker's father. The character is portrayed brilliantly by Rhys and probably made the movie worthwhile. Emma Stone, who inherits the role of Gwen Stacy does a much better job than Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane) at being the love interest of Parker. However the only drawback for me in this movie would have to be the fact that there was in my mind a lack of Spiderman scenes, overshadowed by Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in conversation. While enjoyable,a few more action scenes would have done it justice. But I definitely enjoyed this movie and would not mind watching it a second time while it stays in cinemas.
