The Amazing Spider-Man: Unnecessary but bareable

Rating: 6/10 (5 February 2018)

I was deeply unhappy when I heard about the filming of The Amazing Spider-Man, I believe in original ideas and with something as broad as Spiderman at least giving it a decent length of time before "Rebooting".
It was too soon, the quality of the McGuire trilogy is irrelevant it was simply too soon to be starting again. Yet another origin story, another introduction to Gwen, another uncle Ben death scene and another villian.
Andrew Garfield is dull, he simply didn't cut it as Spiderman and I consider Emma Stone to be one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood so the newly reborn franchise wasn't off to a great start in my eyes.
So at over two hours at least they gave the movie a chance to shine, alas it doesn't though it's not the complete train wreck I expected.
In this outing (And origin) Parker takes on The Lizard played by the always excellent Rhys Ifans who is simply too good for this movie.
It has its moments but for $230 million it damn well should have had considerably more.
The Good:
Crane scene was great
Lizard looked decent
Dennis Leary & Rhys Ifans
The Bad:
I really don't like Andrew Garfield
Weak soundtrack
Was simply too soon after the last "Reboot"
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Some Lizards can grow limbs back at will...........at will!?
Along with super powers spider bites also provide personalities
