Ahhhh could have been so much better

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2012)

I went into this movie with very low expectations, I mean who reboots after a 5 year gap... But I went away from the movie thinking wow that was almost awesome. The first part of the movie (with the exception of the basketball and lab visit seen) was actually good, or at least way better than the original. This time I actually cared when Ben Parker died. But then the movie started going down hill, the action was terrible and Spider-man felt like a wimp, I mean he is a superhero with superhuman strength yet he needs his girlfriend and his girlfriend's father to bail him out. In addition he can't seem to land one hit on the lizard. Not too mention how unfulfilling the ending was. The lizard was even worse. It looked terrible and its whole evil scheme was so stupid. That being said for once I felt like Spider-man acted like Spider-man, he was way funnier than Rami's, and generally I felt like the cast was more convincing. I left this moving feeling hopeful. This movie had a level of depth that Rami's did not, if they can work with that, and make a decent villain the next one could be better than Spider-man 2. Good: Some better acting first half real emotions (no Toby crying!!!) Bad: Garfield looks like an anorexic model and fights like one too Flash (no fight) Lizard (he felt just shoved in there)
