Awful

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2012)

I gave to this movie three stars for three great men in this movie: John Schwartzman, Martin Sheen and Dennis Leary. Schwartzman did a brilliant job. The camera work really fulfills the needs of an action movie. Martin Sheen and Dennis Leary are both great actors and also great in this movie.
But sadly even great actors are given shitty lines in this movie. Andrew Garfield was OK but not better than Tobey Maguire. Emma Stone was also mediocre. Sally Field(Aunt May) and Rhys Ifans(Dr. Curt Connors) were terrible. You can't have a great action movie without a great villain. He was poorly characterized. We don't know anything about him except he wants to turn the world into a reptilian fantasy.
Directing and music were also bad. James Horner is a shitty composer. Why didn't they work with Danny Elfman again. Marc Webb has done a bad job in terms of storytelling and character development. I think he should go back to directing comedies.
Here comes the worst part: Script. Story was silly. I understand that when you make reboots you change the original storyline. But it was so terrible that it pisses you off. Some of the really stupid and annoying facts about the movie: -J.J. Jameson does not appear in the movie. -Peter decides to wear spiderman mask after he is inspired by a poster he accidentally sees after a thug fight. -Peter for a while looks for his uncles killer, then he stops looking for the killer. -Some swat guys are turned into reptile but we are not shown if they cause problems. -The movie redefines the laws of physics. Peter slowly closes the door but surprisingly he shatters the glass in the door. The ball he throws breaks the goalpost but supernaturally the ball doesn't go pop. These are lamely designed scenes to visualize his uncontrolled power.
This is a silly movie. Don't pay for it. Rewatch old spidey trilogy. They are far better.
