The Amazing Spiderman

This reboot brings new life to the stale franchise. It definitely helps as Andrew Garfield nailed it at portraying Peter Parker/Spiderman.

If you’re a big comic book reader of the web slinging hero then you’ll appreciate this movie more than it’s predecessors. The Toby McGuire version of Peter Parker was too lame and boring. Garfield’s version is much more resolve and he actually has some personality.

Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆

Spiderman 3

I haven’t done any reviews lately due to the fact I don’t have time to even rent a movie let alone drive to the theaters. But I did get a chance to watch Spiderman 3 last week. The hype and anticipation for this movie surpassed its predecessors. The first Spiderman movie was great, and the sequel was even better. If they could keep this trend with the third movie it would probably be the best movie ever made.

Unfortunately, it was quite the opposite. I don’t even know where to start. Spiderman is over-glorified in the movie making it feel corny. The story is poor and the character development for the two villians are abysmal. On top of all that the movie seem to took a turn for the worst with unnecessary scenes that took away the value of the movie and the spirit of Spiderman.

Where is the intense drama, action, and deep character development seen in the first two movies? The story seems to have written by a bunch of third graders whose comic book experience comes from the wrappers of Bazooka Joe bubble gum. With all the hype behind this movie Spiderman 3 has turned out to be one of the year’s, if not, the most disappointing movie.
