They did it again..., and again, and again

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2012)

An average film for the superhero genre, The Amazing Spider-Man follows the same story from the comics. Exactly as did the previous Spiderman movie, from only 10 years earlier. If anything, it amazes through its sheer mediocrity.
The effects are OK, the actors don't seem to be asleep half the time as in the 2002 film, the story is, as I was saying, the same. I can't possibly spoil the plot if you've seen any other Spiderman movie, animation or if you've read the comics.
So one has to wonder: why did they do it? Perhaps, as a literature teacher said in one of the last scenes of the film, because there are not only 10 basic plots in all of fiction, but one. Well, I don't buy that.
