Hated it! with some qualifications.

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2012)

I grew up with the original spider man story and I must claim ignorance of spider mans origins in the ultimate universe, so with that said, I am basing my whole critique on the original origin story. As far as the story line goes, this version is so completely off the mark, it does not even resemble spider man. The way he was bitten, by what, and how was not even recognizable. as a matter of fact, the whole movie was unrecognizable. This is why I am confused by the people who say that Raimi butchered the spider man story in the 3rd film (which I agree with) and then turn around and say this story was more in line with the comic? Someone please educate me if I am wrong. Gwen Stacy? No Mary Jane? bitten on the back of the neck? How Uncle Ben died? No wrestling? Flash Thompson trying to make friends with Peter? The whole story is WAY off. This is why I did not agree with a reboot, Do another spider man, skip the origin story and I would have bought it. I personally loved the effects but HATED the story...
