"The Amazing Spiderman" Delivers Action

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2012)

It's hard to believe that after 10 years, the comic book adaptation "Spiderman" was being rebooted; normally a movie has to have at least 30 years under its belt before it's rebooted, but not in this instance. "The Amazing Spiderman" gives audiences a new tale on America's favorite web-slinger. Stepping into the shoes of Mr. Peter Parker is Andrew Garfield.
What "The Amazing Spiderman" fails to decide is the tone of the picture? Do we have a comedic superhero or dark anti-hero that will emerge over time? At times I felt as if the comedic overtone took over the picture, but there are those shades of darkness throughout. Director Marc Webb conjures a visionary tale of a comic book icon that has mesmerized children and adults alike for years. Be sure to stay for the movie after the credits begin to roll, if you leave you will be dearly disappointed at the nice twist at the end of the movie. The movie is a fun ride for both children and adults, but I have an inkling adults will appreciate this new take on the web-slinger much more than they expected.
