Amazing Spiderman- Not so amazing

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2012)

This review contains some spoilers.
The most anticipated movie of summer just behind "The Dark Knight Rises" amazes but in patches. Spider-Man is back and this time he is cuter, smarter and meaner. The biggest challenge for the makers was to bring out a movie which was different from the old Spider-man and I guess they failed.
The whole movie you feel you have been here. They start with Peter's parents leaving him to his uncle and aunt and never coming back. The poor kid grows into a very bright student, a boy who loves photography, is good at heart and got some beating by fellow mate. He turns into Spidey enjoys his skills, watches his uncle die because of him, fights a monster to save the city, and then sacrifice his love.
Peter Parker gets clue about his father work and he tries to track his former partner a biochemical scientist, a man who has lost his right arm and from years is trying to find the formula for regeneration of cells.
His encounter was Spider was more dramatic and satisfying. And what transpired was enjoyable. The kid flexes his muscles, enjoys his skate rides, beats people by mistake in train, humiliate his college mate. And he gets the girl.
Andrew Garfield is a good successor of Tobey, he does justice to his character and Emma Stone definitely scores bigger than Kirsten. The web Peter casts in the movie to swing and attack is artificial. He made a device and attach to his wrists to get it going. That was on thing in movie I guess that was unexpected, the other one was how easily his identity has been disclosed to his girlfriend Gwen.
The normal routine starts as Peter handles his father's algorithm to his former partner just to watch him turn into a monster. Finally the movie begins.
The last hour of movie gives you everything you came from. Most of it you have seen in trailers though. 3D has made this movie enjoyable in the last half. The Spiderman looks amazing in 3D as he swings from building to building in NYC. And like every time he saves the city from the havoc of monster.
And in the Spiderman tricks they have used his web to great use. He uses his both hands webs and sticks it to something and turns them into Slingshot various times, the fall of Oscorp building in 3D was awesome.
The movie scores big in visual graphics, but scores poor in storyline. The cop father of the girl is a wasted character until he made Spiderman promise not to date his girl. Irfaan khan is not used at all, maybe we can see him in the next installment as we know it will come from the credits at the end. The bad guy is not much intimidating. The whole movie was termed to be Spiderman looking for his parent's clue and he came no close. They have saved it for the next part or who knows for the 3rd part.
Go and enjoy a nice ride in 3D, but you won't come back with any new memories of spider man.
