Tails Reviews: The Amazing Spider-Man

Warning: This review will contain/may contain spoilers for those who did not see the movie yet. So if you haven't seen the movie then you may not want to read this review. It's your choice if you read this or not. You have been warned.

 

 

 

 

 

Story:

 

Scientist Richard Parker (Campbell Scott) is playing a game of hide-and-seek with his young son Peter, but during the game he discovers that hisstudy has been broken into. After quickly gathering together some hidden documents, Richard and his wife Mary (Embeth Davidtz) leave Peter with his Aunt May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen), then mysteriously depart without telling Peter where they are going.

Years later, the teenage Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) has become an alienated social outcast who does not have many friends. He attends Midtown Science High School, where he spends much of his time pining over his crush Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), while frequently getting bullied by the obnoxious Flash Thompson (Chris Zylka). At home, Peter finds a brief case containing some of his father's old documents, and learns that his father worked with fellow scientist Dr. Curtis Connors (Rhys Ifans) at a pharmaceutical company named Oscorp. Faking his way into the Oscorp building by pretending to be an intern, Peter sneaks into a laboratory where extremely strong "biocable" is being created from genetically-modified spiders. One of the spiders escapes from its container and bites Peter. On the subway ride home, Peter scuffles with a gang of thugs and discovers that he suddenly has increased agility and strength. Upon returning home, he finds the spider hiding in his jacket, and stores it away.

The next day, Peter goes to Dr. Connors' house and gives him Richard Parker's documents. Dr. Connors explains that he and Richard were researching cross-species genetics in order to find a way to re-grow lost limbs, with Dr. Connors being motivated by the loss of his own right arm. Dr. Connors is frustrated because his superior, Dr. Rajit Ratha (Irrfan Khan), is pressuring him into devising a cure for Oscorp's CEO Norman Osborn, who is terminally ill.

 

 

Presentation:

 

This is another one of Marvel's famous Spider-man movies. This is the 4th installment of the Spider-man movie series. Although compared to the other 3 Spider-man movies that I liked. There were a few things I hated about the movie. One of them is Spider-man's suit change. I hated how they changed his suit. It just didn't feel like Spider-man without his origional suit on. The other has a little bit to do with the plot. A small part of the plot didn't appeal that much to me, like the REAL truth about why/how his Uncle died. it didn't really cling onto me that much as the other plots in previous Spider-man movies have.

 

Acting:

 

The acting, in my opinion, was alright. There were a few humorous moments like when Spider-man was faking about small knives being his weakness. I admit I laughed a bit about that. The acting, as always, was great in my eyes. Everyone played their roles nicely. The affects, the dialogue, and the characters. Everyone did a great job at acting imo. Which is pretty good considering I thought that they would screw up Spider-man in this new movie.

 

Verdiect:

 

I think the movie was pretty good. Disliked a little bit of the plot but it was still a great movie. I give this movie an 8/10.

Not bad. Maybe go a bit more in depth with what you liked about it, because you spent half your review talking about how you didn't like about this and yet it came out with an 8 / 10. Either that or change your score accordingly.

I wasn't planning to see this movie, but maybe I'll go see it now.

I just came back from seeing it, and I thought it was alright. To me, Andrew Garfield IS Peter Parker and Spiderman, the same way Mark Ruffalo is Bruce Banner and Wesley Snipes is Blade. Sally Field is NOT Aunt May; she was just a nagging bitch in this movie. The acting was great, but the story could have been told better. I don't like how Peter learning about his powers were played for laughs. I hate how some scenes were just an insult to peoples inteligence, like the picture of Einstein, the lock on his door, using the cranes to webswing when there were plenty of buildings, etc. The picture and the lock just seemed like not-so-subtle ways of showing he was smart. I don't like that they redid the origin because it's never gonna be as good as the first time they did it. I didn't like how the major action scenes took place at night. The car thief scene was hilarious; that was classic Spiderman. The Stan Lee Cameo was funny. I hate the blatant use of his powers when he was Peter. The special effect were awesome. Some aspects of the movie feel like a ripoff of Iron Man, with the holograms and how he built his web shooters. It doesn't bother me either way how his webs work. The Lizard seemed like a ripoff of Green Goblin to me. In all, definitely better than 3 (though I like 3), but (and I can't believe I'm saying this because I wanted to like this movie more, and Andrew Garfield is Spiderman fully realized) not as good as 1 and 2.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I don't understand how Andrew Garfield can be considered the perfect Spiderman. He's too hot and not nerdy enough to be Spiderman IMO. What is it that makes him so great?
