A Well Done Adaptation of Spider-Man

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2012)

This movie was a very well done adaptation of Spider-Man. It was different from the older versions but, they were both as good in my opinion. Overall I think the movie was very good however, there were some things I would of changed.
There were several fantastic things about this movie but I will say the biggest ones. First off, the casting was great. Andrew Garfield played a good awkward nerd who wasn't sure how to use his powers at first. The actor who played the lizard I have never heard of but he I think nailed the role. Also, Martin Sheen in Uncle Ben fit very well.
Next off I really liked the story. I think it balanced pretty well. The story line was well written and makes me want to see the rest of the movies already. It had great action scenes. Along with this it had the right blend of comedy and drama. It was not just straight on senseless action. It had a reason that made it worth watching. It even had a love story.
Along with this there were some things I would of changed. First off, I wanted to actually see Norman Osborns character. I think it would of been cool to see Norman Osborn. Along with that the Daily Bugle would have been a great addition. I realize they took an approach where Peter Parker was in high school. But, I hope to see the Daily Bugle in the rest of the movies.
SPOILERS AHEAD: The last part I would of personally liked to see changed is a part in the ending. The part where Captain Stacy dies. I think they were trying to pull on your heart but I think it would of been better to keep him. I wanted to see him in the later movies to see how he dealt with Peter after those certain events. He told Peter to stay away from Gwen to protect her but I thought they should of kept him. It would of been great for the sequels.
Overall it was a fantastic movie. The things I think they could of changed or added may have been left out for a reason. I personally cannot wait to see the later movies. There is still more of the story to come. If you saw after the credits you know there will be more.
