Spider-man, Spider-man, does whatever a Reboot Can!

Rating: 3/10 (21 January 2013)

The Spiderman Franchise, having crashed and burned with the third movie, which had more villains than a point, is rebooted in this film. So after we've killed poor Uncle Ben again (this time played by Martin Sheen) we get about half a slow moving movie about awkward Peter Parker dealing with awkward teen stuff, and another half of the movie that is over the top, CGI overkill.
The Villain De Jour is the Lizard, an otherwise kindly scientist who is driven mad by his formula in an attempt to regrow a lost arm.
the movie is too disjointed, and it's not like we haven't seen his story a bunch of times before.
I will give them credit for making the web-shooters a device instead of a natural ability that made no sense.
