A new fresher tale on much loved comic book character

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2014)

I first watched this film on a plane to New York and I must say I wasn't that impressed. But I have now watched this film for the first time at home and I thought this film is great and a fresh take on Spider Man. This film is slightly familiar because most people know the character of Peter Parker as Spider Man but this film stays fresh with a new love interest, a new time period and a new villain. Now this film will be compared to the original spider man films and where I preferred the first two Sam Remy films over this one I still believe that this film does things better then those films and some things worse. My favourite part of the film is the chemistry and relationship between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone having great chemistry. Also I felt the Lizard was a good villain for this opening film as it links to parts in peter's character that hadn't been explored in previous films. However, I still believe the Green Goblin and Doc Ock were better in the previous films. This film does a few things in it that just angered me and is the main reason this film does not have a higher rating from me. I must say though this film and all the marketing has got me so amped for the sequel and this Spider Man franchise could go on to rival that of X-Men and the Marvel cinematic Universe in the future.
