My Thoughts:
Decent movie for what it is... but I didn't care for the way they made this one. It went from horror movie to a crime/action flick... then they brought back the killer shark to bring it back to horror when it was convenient to do so. And then it wasn't so much back to horror as it was more crime/action plus no more then a touch of horror. So I guess basically I came out a little disappointed as it turned out to not exactly be what I was expecting. Though I do like both lou Diamond Phillips and Kristy Swanson.

Theh Amazing Spider-Man, a review by Dragonfire

The Amazing Spider-Man



I went to see The Amazing Spider-Man a few days ago.  I think the reboot works overall, though in some ways, it still seems a little soon for it.

The plot is interesting and entertaining, though it does cover some of the same ground as the first Raimi Spider-Man, showing how Peter gets bitten by a spider and gets new abilities.  He has to deal with the Lizard instead of the Green Goblin and his love interest is Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane.  I don't know much about those characters and it was a little weird for Mary Jane to not be in the movie.  I do like Gwen, and in some ways, she seems like a stronger character.  It's just different.  A little more background about Peter's parents is shared.  I don't remember learning anything about them before this.  I like that there is a bit more about them.  There is still a lot of mystery surrounding them and I'm thinking more will come out in future movies.  The Lizard is an interesting, and even somewhat sympathetic villain, though still, in some way, less impressive than Doc Ock or Green Goblin.  Aunt May is a little younger and bit more feisty..and there is some tension between her and Peter.  Uncle Ben still talks to Peter about responsibility, though in a different way.  The action is fine. The movie isn't too violent, though Peter ends up battered, bloody, and bruised more than once.  That is probably more realistic since his spandex outfit doesn't offer much in the way of protection.  I did see the movie in 3D.  It was fine.  The movie is more serious overall I think.  There are a few little things that add humor, but Peter didn't make as many wisecracks as he did in the other movies..or like he does in the comic books.

The characters and actors do well with their parts, though Garfield does seem a tad old for the age of Peter in the movie.  This time, he remains in high school through the whole movie.  Gwen and Peter start a relationship, though really, not much is shown.  They hardly speak at school, and then they are making out and Peter is telling her he's Spider-Man.  She isn't the only one who finds that out either.  I know in the comics, Peter went public at Spider-Man in that whole registration storyline, but it is too soon in the story for these movies for people to know.  It just doesn't seem right.

Peter and Gwen's relationship is fine, though it doesn't get as developed.  There is just a little something missing from that part of the story. 

I did like the movie overall, though there are a few issues with it.  The movie is worth seeing.  Some things are being set up for the next movie.  I have a few ideas already of what might be coming.



I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.
