Incredibly boring and cringe worthy

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2012)

There are MANY times in the film I had my head in my hands, I couldn't bear to watch certain scenes of the film due to immense cheesiness. Whenever spider-man would of been swinging through the city or attacking the Lizard he would shout horrible cheesy things like 'INCOMING!!' & 'I'm starting to enjoy this!!'. Sure if you're a kid watching this it wouldn't bother you but as a film fan I could help but cringe. Another time I couldn't bear to watch was when Spider-Man was clinging onto the Lizards tail, as he was getting struck against the wall, left to right to left to right. He would say as he impacted the walls 'don't....make....me...hurt you!!'. I'm sorry but stuff like that just makes my skin crawl. The entire crane scene I found to be utterly ridiculous. Why oh why would all the crane drivers not only be on the same street, but all risk their lives during an evacuation to move their cranes into a position with no idea why they are doing so.
Another problem I found out to be would be when Gwen Stacy's father was on his death bed, he made Peter promise to leave Gwen alone. He keeps his promise for a while (and it's a miracle he did, how could you turn down Emma Stone!?!?) but after completely shunning her on his porch and blanking her in the school corridor. He has a complete change on heart, for no apparent reason. I know it's not a MAJOR flaw and every film can be nit picked at but c'mon Pete.
Other than the above mentioned cringe worthy moments I found the film to be a little boring. I can't remember any more than 2 serious action scenes in the film.
I don't think it was a good idea to let the lizard speak either, just seemed a little stupid really.
Okay, I've blasted the film so now it's time for the pro's (pro). The acting from Garfield and Stone was strong. Although I liked Toby Maguire I thought Andrew Garfield was a very good choice. Emma is good as well but can't help but feel she's better in a less serious role.
Overall I felt the film just to be dulcid, I couldn't bring myself to ever watch it again and come on let's be serious, there is no way at all this film deserves a 10/10 from anyone.
