Can't believe Stan Lee agreed to this tripe

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2012)

Very few movies that I've ever seen have given me reason to discuss how poor they are. I usually try to forget seeing them, but this movie sparked something in me that just needs to be expressed.
I've been a Spiderman fan for years, and when the first Sam Raimi movie came out, I was ecstatic. They finally with Spiderman seemed to start to get Marvel movies right and entertaining. But then after 2 sequels that never equaled the first, the series was stopped. And now this attempt at a relaunch...
SPOILERS!!!!
On the good side of this movie, it was nice to see Spiderman need web- shooters like the comics. It was also nice to see something other than just swinging on it and Spiderman using the webs in combat situations. But sad to say, that's about where the good side ends.
The store robbery that lead to Uncle Ben's death was completely ridiculous and unbelievable. Seriously, must spend $10 to take a penny? And he's gonna argue with a customer about that? And then Uncle Ben diving on a gun like that? What a joke. And despite hunting him, Spiderman never found the killer?
Martin Sheen and Sally Fields, although both fine actors, are just not believable as Uncle Ben and Aunt May. For one, they are way too young. And Sally Fields towards the end appears to realize that Peter is Spiderman, which Aunt May didn't know and actually hated Spiderman. Which brings me to the whole secret identity piece. By the end of the movie, at least 1/2 a dozen people knew Peter Parker is Spiderman. What is that about? Spiderman wouldn't last long as a super hero taking his mask off every time he turned around as he did in this movie.
Instead of J. Jonah Jameson chasing after Spiderman, we have Dennis Leary as Captain Stacy. This captain, in the midst of a dangerous lizard trashing the city, turning a dozen or so police officers into lizard men as well, is more interested in chasing down Spiderman, who he then releases and works beside him on the Oscorp rooftop, and in his dying breath decides the city does need him. OMG.
Even in your basic fantasy or fiction story, you want people to get invested in the characters and story to where people can make it believable for themselves. This movie failed to do that on so many levels, that even though it may be a box-office/worldwide success, it would be in best interest that Spiderman not have a sequel.
