Highly Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2012)

OK, What's all the hype about
I went to see the amazing spider man yesterday with my little brother and I have to say that It is highly overrated. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie and all but I was promised something spectacular. If i had to compare this version to the 2002 version, I would say that the latter was better. The movie is filled with spectacular special effects, but it has no panache.
First of all I was promised a funny witty and... well funnier spider man. Andrew Garfield has the look's of a modern day Peter Parker, but I wouldn't say he was the best man for the role. No offense or anything, I personally love Andrew Garfield but I Honestly think that his portrayal of spider man was horrible. I mean the guy isn't even that funny. But anything would be better than a another Toby Maguier mishap.
Secondly, I expected a better looking lizard than a 8 foot bald dude with no snout. I mean where's the snout, a lizard has to have a snout.
Thirdly, the movie is stars out so slow. Peter Parker doesn't even get bit until the first 45 minutes of the movie is over. Even after that,it takes him another thirty minutes for him to figure out his powers. This is one of the things that I found that made the 2002 version spider man better than this one. The action sequences don't even start until the third quarter of this movie.
My little brother enjoyed it tremendously though. But for me this movie is just a little more than average.The 3D effects are spectacular but it doesn't compensate for he fact that this movie doesn't have the kick one would expect from a Spider man movie.The talents of Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans save this movie from going into an abyss of low ratings.
I give this movie a 5 out of 10. An average spider man
