SPIDER-MAN 4: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN(2012)

New Spidey! No Mary Jane(instead we have Gwen Stacy)!!
New everyone!! Very low expectations! However this does
have the advantage of having two absolutely wonderful
actors in it: Martin Sheen(West Wing) and Sally Field(Flying
Nun)! Andrew is definitely not up to the standards set by
Tobey! The story was ok, acting ok, special effects very good,
all-in-all an ok movie, but not Amazing!! LOL! I'd give it a B!

From IMDb.com:

The Amazing Spider-Man is supposed to be a reboot of
the Spider-Man movie franchise. Tobey Maguire is replaced
by Andrew Garfield in the protagonist role of Peter Parker.
His main love interest switches from Mary-Jane Watson
to Gwen Stacy, and the villain in this installment is Dr Curt
Connors aka Lizard. As expected, this reboot goes back to
the beginning when Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man only
it is told in a rather different way to the 2002 movie. This time
they also try to add a bit more character oriented storyline.

Is it a good movie? Yes, particularly since I saw this movie
in IMAX. This made the action scenes more exciting to watch.
It also uses a villain that hasn't been used in the previous
movies so at least it does make it different from the previous
movies.

Is it a successful reboot of the franchise? In my opinion, not
really. It's been five years since the last Spider-Man movie
came out, and ten years since the movie franchise was first
introduced. Even when they made the announcement of this
movie being made, I was questioning it because it's just too
soon to make a reboot. For the same reason, this reboot is
not refreshing. Without trying to give anything away, you can
recognise that this movie takes some of the elements from
the 2002 movie. The character oriented storyline doesn't add
that much meat to the character of Peter Parker as its
supposed to. Its easier to count this as another installment
only with different actors playing the roles.

I really enjoyed the first three Spider-Man movies, and
yes that includes Spider-Man 3. This new Spider-Man movie
is also enjoyable but it fails to refresh the series. It seems
that I was right in thinking that its too soon to do so. - amalank
