Not so amazing Spider-Man...

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2012)

I just came out of the movie theatre tonight. I feel very disappointed about the reboot of the Spider-Man movies. I don't understand why they did it if they can't do better than the Sam Raimi's movies.
Andrew Garfield's acting was just horrible. I always felt he wasn't really there, I felt his was out of touch with the character he was incarnating. Sometimes he had no emotions on his face, or he was overacting or simply had the wrong reaction to the events. It felt like he just didn't know what to do so he did anything he liked on the spot. It completely destroyed everything for me. He never looked like a convincing nerd, or never looked like a convincing boy who is supposed to be torn apart between loving a girl and fighting justice. He had too much attitude and not enough character defining acting. They never should have choose him.
Then the story of this movie was not so good. It felt like the director cut corners at some point to go straight to the point, which at the end made the story unreal and a bit boring. After all, we are looking at the exact same story we looked only 10 years ago but with a couple of not so interesting differences here and there. I just don't get the point to start again the same story if it is not as good or better as the first trilogy. At least we have a new bad guy, but why didn't they just continued the trilogy with this bad guy? The action isn't so good. The bad guy is very good looking except the fact he look to much CG for me. There are nice shots here and there in the movie, but a lot of scenes are very difficult to swallow because of the reaction of the characters or the way the story evolves. The hold up scene was awful...
I felt like I lost my time watching a bad copy of 2002's Spider-Man.
