"Not so amazing."

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2012)

While there is no particular reason why the film was not amazing, it seemed to be lacking the genuine excitement. The story is very well known and doesn't need a synopsis. This is the first film in the new reboot series of the Spiderman. And we have The Lizard in this as the villain. While the visuals are good, they fail to make you excited anytime.
PROS:
The superhero in this looked more authentic then the other versions of the character. He gets hurt a lot, has super strength but when a shot is fired he does bleed. The beautiful part is that he is not concerned with hiding himself under a mask from the world so much. If a boy is scared of him in the mask, he will take it out and show him that he is just a normal guy. Andrew Garfield looked better in the costume than Tobey Maguire. Also there is a very little difference when you see them without costume. If we consider the first films of both of them, than in his first film Tobey Maguire looked more better because of his more innocent look. But I bet in the sequels to follow, Andrew will be the best. The hero actually never had to behave heroically in this first part and that was the beauty. His sacrificing capabilities will surely show up later.
CONS:
The screenplay however failed a lot of times. It could not give the proper explanation of his new webbing techniques. The struggle of peter with his new powers was lacking. The chemistry between Gwen and Peter lacked the charm that was present in Mary Jane and Peter. The stunts were good but they completely lacked the emotion and story to back them up. There was no excitement even in the end.
VERDICT: "Watch at your own risk."
