Rating: 4/10 (22 July 2012)

Okay so what we have at hand here is the refreshed version of the classic spider-man movie....but was it refreshed well enough??lets find out. I shall talk about the plot first and acting after that... So we all know who will survive at last....the spider-man...but here are my impressions of the film as i compare it to the original spider-man(2002). .....I WAS DISAPPOINTED...why??...... ***the movies are 10 years apart and if you watch both one after the other you will notice that there is no substantial leap an animation and special effects quality.....i couldn't say which was supposed to be more advanced. ***I felt that the movie was made for the sake of making a movie....i felt disconnected to it somehow....the checkpoints in the movie are like when peter designs a costume...is bitten by a spider...or when uncle Ben gets killed....they reached out to the audience in original n kept them on their toes...nothing in this movie seemed to excite me..very boring screenplay...every imp turn in the movie seemed like just another scene. ***Serious lack of chemistry between Andrew and Emma..nothing magical.
*****ACTING****** TOBEY v/s ANDREW::One scenario where being a pretty guy doesn't pan out is when you're Peter Parker.Andrew just doesn't pass as a geek to me....he was socially awkward for sure but i couldn't find a geek in there ,which is kinda important for the plot.Also Tobey's 'geekiness' if i may say,provides a sense of innocence to his role.it was pretty clear that Kirsten was out of Tobey's league...Andrew was the prettiest guy on screen at all times.so not a better Peter Parker.-- ---Also Andrew is extremely skinny ..actually looks like a spider in a few scenes......ironically i found Tobey's physique more suitable to play spider-man.TOBEY WINS.
JANE v/s GWEN Kate as Gwen does not have a prominent role in this movie.......i recall Kristen being more noticeable..nor is she a better or prettier actress than Kirsten Dunst.she just doesn't pass as lead actress in my opinion.KIRSTEN DUNST WINS.
GREEN GOBLIN v/s LIZARD Willem Defoe is a good actor and was noticeable in the movie even when he wasn't green goblin,he has good screen presence whereas Rhys(lizard) will not catch your attention until he turns into a lizard.....I have to agree that special effects have been used well for lizard character but it just doesn't work to get my adrenaline pumping.....goblin and Willem still wins with his flying disk.
BOTTOMLINE---if the last spider-man movie u watched is the first spider-man movie...watching this will spoil your memories.
