Marc gets tangled in his own Webb. Little improvement on Sam Raimi's average end to his trilogy.

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2013)

In his first installment into his version of the popular web slinging superhero's legacy, Marc Webb certainly doesn't fall flat on his mush, though equally he doesn't really pull up any trees or set a high bench- marker for his more intriguing sequel.
While the plot covers little new ground and the only main difference appears to be the change in roles - Garfield for Maguire, Stone for Watson etc. - my main criticism revolves around a dull villain (Lizard) made up completely of unconvincing CGI. This is a real shame actually as Rhys Ifans is rather impressive starring as his alias Dr. Connors.
Acting from the other leading roles is respectable with Garfield proving he is every inch the Peter Parker that Toby Maguire once was.
However, with a dull villain and a now clichéd story, its hard to really care or get too far encapsulated into anything which Webb is actually tossing at you.
Still, I can think of hundreds of ways inferior to watching 'The Amazing Spiderman' to kill off two hours plus.
