Un-amazing re-remake,

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2017)

It's hard to judge the Amazing Spider Man without bias having seen Sam Raimi's version
You can argue that the movie succeeds by the standards of the increasingly tiresome superhero genre. It's linear rather than muddled, with a distinctive start, middle and end, and plenty of action, but it's just too damn predictable.
Andrew Garfield as Pater Parker doesn't compel me as much as Tobey Macguire did. HE does not have the hapless, sympathetic nerd factor of McGuire, nor does he have the fire in his eyes of a motivated warrior of justice.
Rhys Ivans is well cast for a villain. He is an actor who, when at his best, is exceptional. Unfortunately he falls into the generic narrative of the brilliant scientist who becomes a CGI monster.
Aside from Gwen Stacy, The Amazing Spiderman brings nothing new to the material. It's nothing but the kind of cash grab that makes millions of dollars, which will then be spent on yet another sequel, and then another and another.
