Review of Amazing Spiderman A Reboot of Spiderman Franchise
Plot: A young boy Peter Parker realizes his life would never function as the same after his parent's sudden departure; he or she is raised by his uncle and aunt that are fully supportive and caring but never mention about Parker's past. When Peter learns about his father's research, he seeks Dr. Curt Connors, his father's research partner who is now tinkering with genetics to discover a cure to a lot of fatal ailments. The inquisitive nature of Parker leads to his transformation as Spiderman, after being bitten with a rare spider. His newly acquired powers overwhelm him in the beginning but he somehow brings it under control and gains a formidable reputation in college. Parker sets out to find the killer and in the process captures many wanted criminals well before the police does, after his uncle's death. This irks Police Chief Stacy who labels him a public menace and doesn't hold an excellent opinion about Peter Parker (who's now Chief Stacy's daughter Gwen's boyfriend) too. On the other side, a disastrous self-experiment turns Dr Curt Connors right into a monstrous reptile that unleashes terror inside the city and just Spiderman will bring a stop for this unwanted menace.

After a little memorable moments plus some not too appetizing ones, could we ride once more with Toby McGuire donning the red suit or would Spiderman must call it off forever? Mark Webb posseses an answer for all of us, a reboot which includes certain benefits but additionally raises many questions: Did this truer comic interpretation of Spiderman really transcend to the silver screen? By giving Spidey and the other characters edgier but more caricatural personas, will the franchise really continue? Why does Peter Parker's hidden identity need to be so blatantly obvious? What's the difference between this Peter Parker who does astonishing feats at college nevertheless gets away, and Miley Stewart who dons a golden wig with no one recognizes her despite the fact that her father is Billy Ray Cyrus?

In Amazing Spiderman, an important difference inside the cast is the lack of Mary Jane, who had become certainly one of Spiderman's most recognizable faces. We instead have Gwen Stacy, the blonde whom we got a peek of in Spiderman 3, as Peter Parker's love interest. Gwen does not sit cozily in the background while Spidey is battling and neither does she sulk much unlike MJ, however. She throws in a few punches and kicks, urges Spiderman to beat all of them up and is more thoughtful. It can be hard to accept this spunky, courageous Gwen because we are so used to the lady in distress act. But she may grow on us just like the fearless Elena or Chloe from Uncharted series. Spiderman is played by Andrew Garfield, who isn't an average geek that Toby managed to be; he is a cool geek, or perhaps an ordinary college guy with great scientific knowledge but poor physique. Therefore, he didn't really take time to win over us with his charisma as Spiderman even though I didn't root for him as much as I did for Toby when he halted the derailed train. Toby's quiet and shy Spidey had a charm of his very own in ways we take his character's well-being seriously; Garfield's Spidey meanwhile entertains us more but we discover it harder to sympathize with him though I have to admit Garfield did nail that scene where he confronted his uncle about his father. By the way, all those who have seen the Indian film Three Idiots may notice a similarity between Andrew Garfield and Indian actor Sharman Joshi's style of acting.
Doc Oc made us tremble at his stature as well as pity his tragic story in Spiderman 2, while Green Goblin's son, Venom and Sandman were potent enough in the third installment but the film itself was enfeebled by the dull love triangle, what also played a major role in deciding the previous Spiderman movies' success or failure was the potential of the nemesis; while Green goblin didn't wield much excitement because of the sketchy latter part of the first film. Rhys Ifans acts well, however his character isn't exactly memorable in any respect; in Batman probably the most feared villains are Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Two Face but who really cares for Bane though his strength is equally formidable? Maybe Ifans couldn't play his character better, but what really made his character weak was the character itself. My head went "A reptile as the main villain - are you currently kidding me? " and sadly it felt exactly the same way throughout.
Spiderman seems like a filmed comic book, that is generally flipped through casually without getting associated with the emotional aspect of the story to your greater extent. You'll say it's the best of the series if you look the movie this way. People purchase dozens of Archie comics and browse it inside the same perfunctory manner. However, many those who love movies discover that the thing that etches a film within our minds for a long period is actually a moment of tension. This tension happens only if our company is deeply involved in a film and then for that to occur, the film needs to have the audience realize the protagonist's dilemma and want him/her to overcome it. And this cannot and will not happen in such a breezy, comic book-like adaptation.
Amazing Spiderman will really get support from Beyblade-crazy children and teenagers who love saying the term 'awesome! ' - It will probably be one of many top grossing films of 2012. Having Said That I personally think 230 million dollars are unnecessary to get a movie that appears no distinct from the Spiderman and Beyblade cartoons which come on the television. The most appropriate word that strikes me for the film after scripting this review is 'filler'.
