Different, fresh and visually stunning

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2012)

This is a colourful film that appeals to all ages, its light, its funny and its got lots of action.The director Marc Webb hasn't necessarily tried to make a summer blockbuster, this is a strong slice of spider man and is unique from other superhero films. Some of the action sequences were a bit goofy, and the story line changed little from raimi's first spider man, but this is a lot more enjoyable.Some things have changed from the original spider man to the modern day one,obviously time has moved on so the styles have changed, he has a skateboard, earphones and hoods that make him more like the modern day spider man. Except from the main character,there is little character development ,this film is also less realistic in what would happen in the story,but in the end it is a superhero movie!This film isn't too dark or heavy so don't expect a amazing flawless piece of work,but I'm excited for the sequel and hope to see more of this universe.
