Not so Amazing

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2012)

When the first trilogy of Spiderman had come out, I was impressed by the acting, visuals, and story. This new rehash of Spiderman did not leave me with the same impression. When I saw the trailer, I was not impressed in any way. The only reason that made me pay to watch this film was because of Emma Stone, who played Gwen Stacy.
Before I go on, let me begin with the pro's: - Good Acting. Emma Stone always amazes me because she brings a new character to every movie she picks.

Fantastic Visual Effects. First Person style swinging and the slow-motion parkour scenes were entertaining to watch.

At this point I would give this film a 4/10 The Cons of this film unfortunately don't build that score much

The soundtrack was no where as "amazing" as the original Spiderman movie soundtrack. Spiderman is an amazing superhero and his theme should reflect him.

Poor story telling: Slow and boring is how this film progresses. I did not feel as if I got to know all the characters in the film and it seemed as if most characters besides Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy were bland and missing something.

Tobey Maguire's performance in the original is more believable than Andrew Garfield's in this rehash, although I must say Andrew did a pretty good job. Unfortunately, the script was nothing special.
Although this film portrays Spiderman as he was in the comic books in some ways, this movie did not impress me as much as the other trilogy did.
Acting - 2/3 Visuals - 2/2 Soundtrack - 1/2 Story - 1/3
Overall - 6/10
