Review of The Amazing Spider-man

Rating: 1/10 (22 July 2012)

The Amazing Spiderman directed by Marc WEBB, get it? First of all I heard people say that The Amazing Spider-man is much more darker and grittier and realistic (some even like to throw a term - Nolanized) take on the easy going web slinger. I say, it is false. Surely, it LOOKS darker because most of the key scenes happen during NIGHT and filmmakers used darker colour palette. Besides, there is a 3 meter tall-naked-mutated-Lizard/human hybrid CGI running around. (OMG does he look generic). If you ever wanted to see Lizard on the big screens, you will be greatly devastated. They turned Doctor Connors into one dimensional generic villain. WHY?!! Have they not read the original source material? Nevertheless, I was glad to see that this NEW Spider-man story is not trying to copy Batman Begins like the trailer showed me, there are still plenty of jokes. IT IS SPIDER-MAN! He does not need to be dark or serious! Are you going to make Deadpool serious too? BUT in the end, I would have enjoyed the movie more if I did not seen it before. That is right ladies and gentle men. We all saw this movie before. And I kinda predicted the plot from the trailer and was hoping that I would be wrong (yeah I am that good). So... have you guys seen Spider-man 90's cartoon. Remember the episode where the audience got introduced to Lizard? Well, I remember. AND THE PLOT OF THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (THE MOVIE) WAS TAKEN FROM A 90'S SPIDER-MAN CARTOON. I AM NOT LYING YOU. There first third of the movie is copying Sam Raimi's Spider-man and the last two thirds is copying the cartoon, A CARTOON. Is this what we have come to? I mean I love 90's Spider-man but taking the story line of a 30 minute long that is over 20 years old and stretching it into a 2 hour movie is idiotic! Alright I am exaggerating for the sake of entertainment. But you will be surprised how similar they are. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKnhwGoUw2U
