A remake or is it just the same dish?

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2012)

Well to start off yes there are good things about this movie; like Emma Stone and maybe some of the effects but really there's a whole lot more bad than good.
For one thing this is the same story, yes all the actors have changed and the the main bad guy is not the green goblin and the main love interest isn't Mary Jane but the whole thing is so similar if you substituted some of the new characters with the old ones it'd would be almost exactly the same. I kept thinking this happened in the first movie the whole movie. Now people might say that the movies are bound to the comics so it's bound to be similar but from what I saw almost no creative license was used.
The second point is I hate it when things are just too coincidental, things in the movie are just too lucky. Like the kid he saves on the bridge just happens to be the kid of a guy who's a big shot at a construction firm, there are buildings being built all the way up the street to Ozcorp, Gwens father just happens to be the police chief type guy, or just when spiderman is about to lose his head at the end gwens father comes and saves the day, the list could go on and on.
I didn't really like the first 3 movies but they weren't all that bad, instead of starting the whole process all over again I think they should have spent time on making a nice script and making a forth movie with the already established people. I think the first 3 movies were move emotional and got you more attached to the characters, I for one didn't care at ALL when gwens dad died.
