Wasn't that amazing

*This review MAY contain spoilers* OK,now that we got that out of the way(because I don't want to anger the "gods"lol).
So, I saw this film over the weekend with a good friend and I must say,as a spider-man fan, I was kinda disappointed. Don't get me wrong. It's OK. I really did enjoy Garfield's interpretation of the noble Peter Parker. He got the whole geeky nerd thing down cold. I loved Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy too.She and Garfield,in my opinion,had GREAT on screen chemistry. I really wished that they could've developed that a little more in the film.The talented Sally fields(Aunt May)and the consistent Martin Sheen(Uncle Ben)were very cool and likable.Denis Leary(capt.Stacy)was I think,spot on for his character as was Ifans(doc Connors/the lizard). The cast worked with what the had script-wise.WHICH WAS THE WEAKEST LINK of the movie. I'm sorry,whomever wrote this,were they not educated in the lore that IS spider-man? Granted,they've got Spidey's wit and humor down,which I loved and wished that Raimi's version would've done more. However,I think they missed out on what makes spider-man one of the coolest creation in the comics. When uncle Ben doesn't say the immortal lines to Peter,"With Great Power,Comes great responsibility". IT'S like WHAT IN THE HELL?!! Those words become Peter's CROSS to bare that he'd wear FOREVER around his neck.It's his MOTIVATION. The guilt that he he'd carry in his heart of knowing that if would've stopped that robber when he had the chance,his uncle still would be ALIVE today.sheesh. The visuals of the film were GREAT though. I was impressed,better than the 2002's. I did enjoy the kinda darker feel too the film,but I think that too much time was wasted with peter trying to resolve his abandonment issues with his parents.It just made the film,DRAAAAAAAG. Message to Sony execs:If you do decide to do a sequel,which mostly likely will happen, Keep Marc Webb as the director. He's good. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE,a better tighter script.Don't dumb it down. Finally,show some respect for us fans. I know you have a vision,but try to keep the origins,for the most part unchanged,please?
OK, so, go see the film,but matinée prices. I think,though the 3D(I saw 2D)may be pretty cool with all the webslinging going on.
