The Movie I was waiting for

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2012)

i've seen many reviews in the internet, i am a spider-man fan, not the i have all the comic books spider-man fan, but a regular spider-man fan, who knows who is who, seen the TV shows, the raimi films and love the whole universe around it.
As a regular spider-man fan i must say, this is the best interpretation of the origin story i could ever ask for. I'm in love with this movie... and you should too.
First things first, they do take some creative liberties, but nothing too big to upset you. The ambientation, realization of power, chemistry, cast, acting a CGI were all there in perfect unison, not too much of any, delivering the perfect origin movie.
Second, yes they retold the whole story, but you know what? after the reimi films they had to!, the origin story in the previous films was soo cartoonish that nobody could relate to spider-man, he was dumbed down, shame on them.
third, the humor is the only part where i cant be happy, yeah the jokes were there and worked, but they were too few and its spider-man we are talking about, he is practically a comedian in tights.
i'll keep this review like this, with no spoilers, just few last pointers: Garfield and stone chemistry WAS BRILLIANT!, the action scenes were the out of this world(there was a spider trick that was particularly funny, but you'll know when you see it) and the ambientation makes you feel in the real world, making the experience incredibly relatable.
8/10 just for the lack of humor, but that can be worked in the sequels where freakin uncle Ben doesn't die.
you liked iron man because it felt real and amazing? then you'll love this movie, GARFIELD IS THE REAL SPIDERMAN! and after the theater you'll crave for more.
