Garfield not the right choice

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2013)

If I hadn't have seen the original Spiderman trilogy I would have probably rated this movie higher, but I have so therefore I can't help but to compare it. In itself, this movie is good- Emma Stone played the part very well and the plot line was believable for a 'comic book' movie. The problem is that I don't think Andrew Garfield was the right choice for the lead role; he is a good actor as we saw in The Social Network but something was just missing for me, lack of Peter Parker quirkiness?
The plot line was believable as I said but also predictable - there were no interesting plot twists and I found myself getting bored in the talks bits, the dialogue between the characters could have been written by a 9 year old! I understand that not all action movies need to have action 24/7 in them, but honestly, this needed more! There were only a handful of decent action sequences and most of them were pretty short. All in all I was disappointed leaving this movie, I will see the sequel and hopefully Garfield will have stepped up to the role.
