Imperfect yet promising reboot of the notorious web-slinging friendly super-heroic neighbour

Rating: 6/10 (28 August 2013)

As for the plot, it was better than the Raimi version.
Not bad action scenes, a little bit more of classic "spidey-lame sense of humor" and intriguing was the mysterious past surrounding Peter's parents. In Raimi's version the Spider-Man made his way to the superhero really fast, but here - we are looking at a lonely teenager with inner struggle with loneliness and he becomes the "legendary web-slinger" a bit slowly because this is about how he learns to become THE Spider-Man - which is like at the end of the movie.
A shame there is not directly the sentence: "With great power comes great responsibility." but there is a lot of hinting of it, the whole movie is about responsibility - trying to balance the personal and heroic life.
And I am REALLY curious about the mystery surrounding Peter's parents - there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Look forward to the sequel which I hope will answer some of them
