"With great power, comes great responsibility " is clearly missing !!!

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2012)

The Amazing Spiderman , a reboot on Spiderman franchises, was disappointing with nothing much to offer except for few good fight scenes and eye catching visual effects.
The Amazing Spiderman takes you to the actual origin of what really happened before Peter Parkar turned into a web slinging hero for the New York City.
Director Marc Webb(500 days of summer) does a decent job of re-booting the series showing the disappearance of Peter Parker's parents and what led him to become a Spiderman. But a bountiful of comparison will definitely come across from the fans who have already seen the scenario in Sam Raimi's version. First of all , the questions comes to my mind was why they decided to reboot , considering it got released just after 5 years.. they could have continued with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire ? Can it been even called a reboot , considering we have seen this before , right ? As I mentioned , the comparisons will definitely happen and I loved Raimi's version. I think he gave more weight-age to the story , character development, more fun-loving and Tobey Maguire was more charming than Andrew Garfield as Spiderman , frankly speaking. I did not understand few scenes here .. if Peter gained strength after bitten by a spider, his eyesight should also become strong, where as he is wearing specks even after becoming Spiderman... the character of Mary Jane and Harry Osborn is also missing here, the story of his parents missing is still clueless. May be all these will be answered in the next chapter for which we have to wait. Gosh, how many spiderman movies they are gonna make... in my opinion, they should have continued the next series. However , on the positive note - the visual effects are mind blowing coupled with fight sequences between Spiderman and the Lizard in the college was high-octane. Screenplay is tight. Camera-work is just getting better and better with each film. The famous dialogue " With great power, comes great responsibility " is missing. Andrew Garfield was just about OK as Peter Parker , I felt Tobey Maguire did better job. Emma Stone was not upto the mark. Rhys Ifans was impressive as Dr. Curt Connors but frankly speaking the character of Lizard was more funny rather than scary. Irffan Khan was there for few minutes.
I had a high expectations from "The Amazing Spiderman" after knowing how was it originated but did not find any difference from Raimi's version. It was a good but did not live quite to my expectation. Average
