Good, but not great.

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2012)

So I just got back from the movie, having expectations moderately high. I watched the commercial, saying it is, "The Top Movie in the World". That gave me some mixed messages I couldn't really comprehend.
I really liked Andrew Garfield when he played the role of Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network, so I was pleased to hear that he'd take on his first lead role. But with this, I was a bit disappointed.
PROS -It was more like the original comics -The fighting effects were well done
CONS -Garfield was too caught up in Peter Parker's attitude -The story jumped sometimes
There really isn't much to say about the film. I'm not saying it is terrible! I enjoyed most of it. But I don't see the real point of this recreation from the Tobey MacGuire series. But yes, it is an improvement in directing, but not the acting.
