The Amazing Spiderman
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifan
Directer by Marc Webb
My Opinon: Too soon but not bad. |
The Amazing Spiderman came much too early for a remake, especially after the fantastic films created by one of my all time favorite directors, Sam Raimi. Raimi constructed his superheroe flick trilogy with precision and prestige. His films smashed the box and received immense praise by critics. Obviously the last installment was a deep disappointment, but two out of three is pretty good. Honestly, I could not watch this movie without constantly comparing it to the superior version. Toby Mcguire was the perfect dweeby-turned-awesome Peter Parker. Honestly, Andrew Garfield looks like the lead singer from Dashboard Confessional and Emma Stone looks at least 10 years his senior. So why fix what isn't yet old and broken?
Spiderman has the basic ingredients: a villain, an unexpected hero, a love interest, one-liners, and special effects. I guess as far as recent comic book films go,
The Amazing Spiderman is far superior than
The Avengers. It has a solid story and it's pretty fun to watch all the way through. But it doesn't really do anything special or different, so I'm gonna say it's not bad. Although, I can't really accept this movie for what it is. And what it is is a lesser version of Raimi's.
