Decent Reboot, and has potential, but definitely Not as good as the Raimi Films even with the improved effects.

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2018)

The Amazing Spiderman. The Spiderman reboot nobody wanted actually turned out to not be bad. However it did have a lot of issues.
We're introduced to the new characters, Peter (Andrew Garfield) starts off acting extremely weird. Honestly he doesn't feel natural, but he does get better throughout the movie. Also why is he a skater?! Anyways I thought his portrayal of peter wasn't really that good. Andrew Garfield does show some good acting in this movie, but he just acts peter out really weirdly for me.
I do think his Spiderman is great. He's cracking jokes (not very good ones, but it still works) while still remaining serious.
Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) was actually really great. In the previous Spiderman movies, Mary Jane was always the damsel in distress, but in this movie Gwen isn't, and she actually helps Peter. Not only that, but she also has good chemistry with Peter.
The School scenes are also a improvement, but again they don't really feel that natural, and don't look like students, but it works much better than in the original film.
Aunt May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) are both once again great. They feel like actual "parents" to peter, and they feel believable.
Peter's actual parents are in the movie for no reason, I mean it's cool to see what happened, but it's never really explained, and it makes everything more convoluted.
Peter getting his powers was much better this time, and I love how he's actually smart in this movie. In the original movie peter never seemed actually smart, but here he really does feel like he's smart.
When he discovers his powers it's also done much better, in a really funny scene. The way it happens makes more sense.
Uncle Ben's death wasn't as good as the first time he died, but it was still pretty good. In the original movie Peter is somewhat responsible for it, and it had a great line where peter repeats what the wrestling promoter said, but in this one it's changed to repeating what the store clerk said, and it doesn't work as well. I mean Peter acts like a jerk in this scene. He's literally letting the guy get robbed because he couldn't afford chocolate milk.
Now peter uses his powers to look for his Uncle's killer, which was done pretty well. I also like how each time he finds another crook he learns. The first time he isn't wearing a mask, but then one of the crooks tells him "I KNOW YOUR FACE" so he makes a mask. And then this whole sub plot is dropped and never picked up again.
The Lizard was a pretty good villain at first, his motivations make sense, but then he goes all silly and has a stupid plan. When Peter fights the lizard in the school (actually a really good action scene) couldn't the cameras pick up that Peter is Spiderman? Also The Lizard makes an entire video of his plan for some reason.
The third act wasnt too good, but Captain Stacy's death was really good. I also think his character was great. The fight just doesn't make sense, I mean the lizard puts the Thing to turn people into lizards in the thing that shoots it up into the sky to make everyone lizard (very silly) but it takes a few minutes to get shot Up, but then peter puts the cure and it doesn't need to restart? What's the point of the thing waiting?!

Anyways I did enjoy this movie. It wasn't bad, it had a lot of improvements, but it also had a lot of issues.
6.5/10
