This movie sucked .

Rating: 3/10 (9 August 2014)

This unnecessary reboot is far from amazing. As a Spider-man fan this movie was really a disappointment to me. I grew up reading the Amazing Spider-man and Ultimate Spider-man comics, and I got to say that the movie really lacked similarities between the two.(Especially the Amazing comics)The origin was crap, and inaccurate to any of the comic versions. Captain Stacy didn't think Spider-man was a criminal. He was a strong supporter of Spider-man. Dr Conner's wasn't a British scientist that works at Oscorp. He didn't have any help from Peter's parents, or from Peter while making the lizard serum. Gwen Stacy wasn't Peter's first girlfriend. Betty Brant was his first girlfriend in the original comics.( If you don't believe me read Amazing Spider-man # 142) Mary Jane was his first girlfriend in the Ultimate comics. Peter didn't let the robber get away because the cashier wouldn't sell him a bottle of chocolate milk and he didn't sneak out every night trying to find Uncle Ben's killer, and later forgets about it.
I didn't like Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-man. As Peter, he's just a hipster kid who doesn't brush his hair and rides around on the skateboard. I wasn't convinced that Peter is a smart, science nerd in this movie. The crappy web shooters didn't really help either. When Peter sneaks into Oscorp to find Dr. Conner's, he looks around acting like he's never been in there before, he obviously didn't know about the tour, but went along with it anyway, and has a surprised look on his face when he see's Gwen guiding the tour. Like he didn't know that she was working there. You think a kid who was really smart and really into science like we're made to believe Peter is; He would have know and actually be in that tour just to see the labs of Oscorp, or he would have his own job at Oscorp like Gwen Stacy did, but he didn't. As Spider-man: He constantly takes his mask off and walks around with it off. Not only is it out of character for him to walk around with his mask off, but also makes him look like he lacks common sense. If I was starting out as a masked vigilante I would know NOT to take my mask off in public. Because of the risk someone would see me. He did fine with the sense of humor part, and that was about it. The suit was crap. It looked like it was made out the same material used to make basket balls. The design was ugly and too complicated. I get the idea that's supposed to look like a homemade suit, but why did they make the design look so complicated? The forearm part of the gloves are red and the hand part is blue with red on the fingers. If it's supposed to be Peter's first suit, why didn't they make it look simple like the original design in the comics?
The film had a couple of plot holes in the story. For example: Why was Captain Stacy much more determined to stop Spider-man while there's a 9 foot lizard rampaging through the streets of New York? Why was Spider-man swinging from crane to crane despite the fact that he's surrounded by tall buildings? The lizard's plan didn't really make much sense either. Basically, his plan is to use a lizard serum that he made and use it to turn all the people in New York into lizards. Throughout the movie, Dr. Conner's repeatedly injects himself with the serum, and temporarily turns into the lizard. Apparently, the serum doesn't last very long. If the serums effects doesn't last on him, what makes him think that it's gonna permanently turn all the people into lizards? The movie also had a couple of dumb scenes, like the basket ball scene. And the one where Peter skateboards in a warehouse and starts swinging around on some chains hanging from the rafters.
I didn't really care about the romance. Peter and Gwen look cute together. But, they completely rushed through the chemistry. They briefly talk to each other a few times, and Gwen invites Peter to dinner, and just like that he tells her that he's Spider-man and they start making out. When they did talked Gwen did most of the talking and Peter just mumbles to himself.
The CGI was good, except for the lizard. The lizard looked cheap and unfinished.
I have more problems with this movie. But, I believe you get the idea. The Amazing Spider-man is far from amazing and far from good.
