disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (1 November 2012)

I never really understood why they were doing a remake of spider-man. I was hoping for something stronger in concept, perhaps better acting, but i was sorely disappointed. I didn't understand why Gwen (who is a high school student) is an intern in some acclaimed lab. I didn't understand how peter came up with that webbing, or how people of the city liked spider-man enough to help him out in the end. It made no sense! However, the room with the spiders spinning was pretty cool and how peter got bitten was pretty cool, but that was about it! The comic relief between uncle Ben and aunt may held nothing more than that, comic relief. The death of uncle Ben in the previous movie was far more poignant than in this movie, but it does make for a logical explanation for how spider-man came into being. The back story with how peter's parents went missing seemed merely an excuse to make another spider-man movie. It didn't seem all that fleshed out, and peter just happens to stumble into all of that mess and mystery, is just flabbergasting. So why was this movie made again?
