Very well made

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2012)

I'm not a huge fan of the Spiderman films and I had heard little or nothing in regards to this one from friends and colleagues alike.
However the movie was I think better made than the previous versions of the character. Purists will find holes in some of the explanations of the character and his abilities if they compare it to the other movies, but better to take this movie on it's own merits rather than comparisons.
I found the acting was very good from all the players and the filming had a very classy feel to it, the effects were enjoyable and not over the top. Above all there was a good sprinkling of humour from the character punctuated with good timing throughout the movie.
Andrew Garfield played the part very well and surprised me with his clear acting abilities,Denis Leary is as good as always.
It felt like money well spent picking this one up!
