Too blockbuster

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2012)

I really feel for Andrew Garfield because he really does love spiderman and I like the concept about Peter Parker's first love.
But Seriously? Dorky, Geeky introvert Peter Parker is awesome at standing up to bullies, interspecies Science, Photography, handsome and designing then making his own kickass suit. He's too normal, too brave and perfect. In fact this spiderman was cocky, obnoxious and overconfident in his first vigilante attempts.
The beauty of Peter Parker is the fact that he is dorky, nerdy and introverted. He's suppose to be the underdog that becomes a brave hero. Especially in the beginning when he's finding himself. It'd be nicer if Peter can't stay true to his marvel character he was still that character that started off lanky, clumsy, awkward who loves all the dorky stuff like mario, WOW, halo and COD. His family matters most to him. That he can't talk to girls. His first time catching a bad guy he's so unsure of himself that the awkward moments are just hilarious. Like a really adorable sad puppy that surprises himself by starting the mythology of being somebody out of place in the world that grows into their skin.
Why couldn't they have made the story about betty brant first, His first love which, first love stories are always the most powerful and tragic. Then make Gwen into an even more gut wrenching tragic story. Because the Gwen story is probably his most tragic relationship where she hates him for killing her dad but can't leave him because she loves him, pulls a gun on him when she find out his secret. Pressures him to marry her but he's too guilty then accidentally kills her when he tries to save her. This story could have been so much more. The Gwen story should've made the audience cry. Their relationship should've been a crazy gut wrenching sick relationship where you really wish that they could be together and they're almost soulmates and they really love each other like crazy but everything about their relationship gets so sick and twisted you just know that the audience knows they can't. That's the tragedy of Gwen Stacy and that's movie I would've created. Where their whole relationship is, I want that person but I just can't no matter how much i want them I can't be with them from the very start with a lot of magnetism. And the audience really wants to root for something they know can't happen and the thought of Gwen breaks their heart.
The Amazing Spiderman wasn't that, its just a summer blockbuster movie. Where any story wasn't pushed hard enough except towards the mythology of his father. The visuals are nice I just wish they had a true nerd create the story of this film. They started it with gwen but I wish it was a lot stronger where you could really feel for them where you're left super sad fo them
