Good, but not great rendering of Spider-Man

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2012)

I was in my first year of school when the first Spider-Man film from 2002 was released. Since then, it has remained to be one of my favorite superhero films. The second one only got better, but the third just stank from start to finish. Coming off of that, a re-boot seemed to be the only way to go, but of course they made it too early. It's only been ten years since the first from 2002. That's my main complaint: the film decides to retell the origin story when I'm sure most of the audience remembers the first film. Aside from that, the acting is surprisingly good, the villain is pretty good, and the action doesn't disappoint. Just a couple dumb moments, otherwise a welcome re-boot that makes me want to see more, but please make it better.
