New version is not Amazing

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2014)

The Amazing Spider-Man is the newest version of the Spider-Man franchise. The movie is good but as the title suggests it is not "Amazing". If you have seen Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire, then you pretty much has seen this movie. You do get a slightly different version though. Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield gets bitten by a spider and develops spider-like senses. Scientist Dr. Curt Connors played by Rhys Ifans is working with the same spiders to research cross species genetics. Dr. Connors uses a non-human tested serum to try and regenerate his lost arm. He develops the ability to regenerate, but also becomes a giant lizard. There is also the love story between Peter and Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone. Gwen is Peter's first true love in the Spider-Man comic franchise. Overall the movies is not bad, but actually good. It's obviously been done before and so it is nothing amazing.
