Was that it ?...

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2012)

Upon entering the cinema i was hoping for an experience much like the Avengers. I was optimistic and enthusiastic, yearning for a thrilling movie experience.But unfortunately, i was immensely disappointed. The movie was nothing out of the ordinary really, no scenes exhibited that enthralling factor which movies like The Dark knight are known for. The Amazing Spiderman represents a movie that promised so much yet delivered so very little. Since i haven't read any of the comics, its hard for me to understand what the comic readers are going on about.They say that The Amazing Spiderman stays true to the comic and that it is how the earlier Spiderman movies should have been portrayed from the commencement. The performance by Andrew Garfield was commendable, what with the myriad intensely emotional scenes scattered across the film. His acting was accurate,believable and deserved of ample praise.
The movie dragged on for large periods, making me feel restless and impatient. By the end it felt so thoroughly anticlimactic and mundane that i couldn't help but fiddle about with my cell phone.
The Amazing Spiderman, although having some real impressive moments in between, does not deserve a spot amongst the truly great superhero films.The film acts like a reality check for those eagerly awaiting the release of The Dark Knight Rises ; we don't always get what we expect.
