The Heart of a Spider

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2012)

As a person who constantly yearns for new ideas, new stories, and new adventures, I found myself questioning my own morals in this film. When I look at the movies that have come out this year and are soon to come out, I see one word - unoriginal -- The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, Les Miserables, Rock of Ages, Skyfall, The Hunger Games, and The Avengers. The last two have broken into the top fifteen US box office champions of all time! It's amazing how books, redo's, and sequels can be so wildly successful and yet so disconnected to originality.
Tonight, I witnessed something beautiful and magnificent beyond belief however. I saw how two wonderful actors - Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone - could turn an extremely overdone and unnecessary reboot into something more lovely than any previous version.
This is a completely original take on an overused classic tale, and it is solely due to the power of the main two actors. I don't know how to thank both of them enough. Expect your first Oscar nominations to both of you this year.
To the Amazing Spider-Man and Gwen. My heart goes forever out to you <3
