Spiderman Review

Rating: 5/10 (18 July 2012)

I've always wanted to see a Spiderman film without sinking too much into the plot.Enjoyable merely as a superhero fan. Spiderman plays on the strengths of its predecessors and does a tough job covering up the weaknesses. It's clear to see that Marvel stretched its fingernails in saving their precious spider. Four films later you don't expect anyone to still ask Spiderman who he is, unless that person comes from another planet they don't belong in the story.
The amount of flying and experimenting that Peter does makes it seem as if this is the first ever Spiderman film. It's a weak point the film doesn't address; why does the story go back in time without moving forward at all? Will this be the case with all future releases or is this the last one? I like continuation in franchises and I didn't get it here, not enough to make me regret missing previous releases.
