Haven;t seen it myself but have been told that the character is lot closer to the comic in this than the other movies. And that it was pretty similar to Batman Begins which does make me somewhat more interested.

The first Spiderman was a classic. The new one just feels like a recycling of the old one with a new villain.

I loved this one. Unfortunately it's yet another origin movie, which we seem to be getting way too much of these days... but I loved how it was revamped for the screen. Felt much, much closer to how it should be. I'm definitely waiting for a second one! Hopefully with Venom AND Carnage this time, considering how that last piece of shit went.

Whatever gave you that idea?!




By the way, the reasons you think this film is better than the previous films from the franchise are laughable. I mean, the lead characters geekiness determines the quality of the film? Are you serious?

In this case it's important because Peter is supposed to be a huge science and maths nerd. The Peter they had for the last three movies was not, the one in this new movie is. Maybe you don't give a rat's ass, but it's important to a lot of the Spiderman fanbase.

Do you think spending a lot of time and effort establishing one of the characters superficial character traits would be worth doing at the cost of other aspects of the film?

You are saying that the Peter Parker of the previous films was not a 'nerd' but that simply isn't true. Perhaps he is not as nerdy as you or other Spiderman fans may have liked but it certainly was clear he was 'nerdy'.

If this new film makes a special effort to draw attention to this insignificant aspect of the character, then I can only assume it will be detrimental to the film as a whole.

Not seen it myself, wasn't very impressed by the trailer though, looked like a 3D overload. Maybe if this film was made much later than the Tobey Maguire ones I'd be more inclined to see it, there's just something off-putting about remakes/different adaptations produced not long after the original/previous adaptation.

its a great film, glad they didnt just rehash the first film, this is completely different ine very way, characters have different personalities, the villain isn't a rehash from the first 3 films, the finale was satisfying the fights were incredible. It was a well done film, way better than spiderman 3, better than 1, no where near as good as 2 but 2 is hard to top

I cannot stand Toby Maguire and am not that fond of Kristen Dunst {I liked her in Interview with the Vampire.}.

On the other hand, I really like Emma Stone so... Yes, This Spiderman was far,far better then the other three.

It's not very hard to be better then V for Vendetta considering it was a boring mess, that failed to capture the comic in anyway.

Personally I found Tobey Maguire to fit the role of Spiderman much better then Andrew Garfield.

Sure they closely adapted it more to the comics(Especially with Gwen Stacy!) but honestly I thought Tobey fit the bill of Peter Parker(with the kind of geek look) better then Garfield.

Not that I'm not happy with the movie but since this is a live action movie based off the comics the actors do play a huge part in this.


On a side note. Emma Stone... Yum...

Very good movie. I think it's on par with the original origin movie. The sequel has quite a bar to overcome though, as Spider-Man 2 is still considered one of the best superhero movies of all time.

I agree completely with OP.
I was always imagined Peter Parker to be geeky and awkward. I think Andrew Garfield did a much better job than Toby McGuire, imo. And no, I am not just saying that because Andrew's a "pretty boy" or for his British accent. I really don't find him that attractive and I couldn't care less about his accent.

Maybe Kirsten does have a better filmography, but that has nothing to do with her.

Not to mention it took her twenty years until people realized she could kind of act (Melancholia).

The Amazing Spiderman isn't bad, it's just tragically squeezed in between The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises and subsequently overshadowed.

She's always had good reviews for her acting since the very start of her career, though. The only reason Melancholia attracted more attention was because it was her "comeback" role and by a renown director. She would have gotten more awards than just Best Actress at Cannes too if Lars hadn't gone on his nazi rant.

I agree about The Amazing Spiderman being released at a bad time. People are burnt out from The Avengers hype and starting to get psyched for The Dark Knight Rises. Its still doing pretty well though, and fantastically overseas.

I really enjoyed the new Amazing Spider man. I had a few little nags about it though (Peter Parker having a skateboard, The Lizard not having a snout, and the scenes where Spidy was web swinging hurt my eyes without the 3D), but over all I thought it was a great movie.

Is it better than the first movie in the original movie? I don't think so. I loved the Original Trilogy! :D But Hopefully this one could be better. ;)

I truly enjoyed this movie. Peter Parker acting more neerdy does wonders for this film. Acting is part of movies, and does come into play in how well done a movie is.

This movie was a lot of fun, was it better than Spider Man 2? No, that being said, I could see this series Spider Man 2 being quite amazing. It has a lot of potential.

Kirsten Dunst was annoying, stupid and useless in her role as Mary-Jane Watson. I found her to be a continuous annoyance as well as a thorn in the side of Spiderman.

5. Peter Parker is way geekier
geek =/= good character
he isn't really a geek, he's more like an enigmatic hipster that we learn nothing about

4. Aunt May has attitude
how the fuck is this a good thing and how does it make her a good character

3. Sticks closer to the original comic series
vague and doesn't mean that it's better. if the adaptation doesn't do anything new or interesting with the source material, then there's really no point in it existing. but the film doesn't really stick to the comics anyway. peter parker and spider-man are virtually the same even though spider-man was supposed to be an alter-ego; a manifestation of everything peter parker CAN'T be.

2. Spider Suit is Tighter
that doesn't make the suit better

1. Gwen Stacey
doesn't make the film better
