Unnecessary reboot?

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2019)

The amazing spiderman was an unnecessary reboot but I'm glad its come about anyway. Spiderman has always been a cheesy and weak superhero tale for me however this new take on the web slinger is invigorating. The focus on his parents is new, as is the new love interest, both worked but what worked more is Andrew Garfield as spiderman. In now way is he a believable geek, Tobey Maguire is a better Peter Parker but Garfield is a better Spiderman in more ways then one. He's funny and cool, everything a super hero should be. More importantly he's genuine, he brings some reality to the role. Mark Webb has done a superb job in re-creating spiderman and creating new paths to explore in an otherwise plain story.
