The un-amazing reboot: the dark night rises in spidey costume (screen)

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2012)

The key to spidey is that's a super hero for kid. Raimi had understood this and his movies were indeed great. Here, it's not more the case and our friendly neighborhood becomes a silly costumed crusader.
I really don't understand why the production wanted a such aggressive spiderman: Discovreing his power, peter punches commuters in the subway. His drive to be spidey is to punch endlessly thugs to see their wrists! Finally, when he does Spidey, it's only at night except for a fight in his high school or in an intelligent mirror effect for his 1st appearance. As peter, he shouts to his uncle, his aunt and the father of his girlfriend! His casting reminds me of Christensen in star wars prequels because this Garfield has the same darkside about him.
The rest is also pathetic: The Mays are horrible as well in characters or in casting. Lizard might be okay but his ties with Peter is unbelievable. The Stacys are OK but killing Captain is useless: what's the point to develop a character and a tension if it's not meant to last. And if Emma Stone is a good surprise here, it's just because Dunst was always boring and uninspired.
To resume, the first hour dragged horribly, the second makes you angry and it's only the final moment that you will find a decent Spidey but it's not enough and too late. Frankly, the only amazing thing in this movie may be Spidey's web because it's true that the new effects is bluffing.
In other words, with Raimi and Maguire movies, i was eager to buy the DVD while i won't even bother to download this one on the web!
