My first reaction to
hearing that they are making a reboot of the Spider-Man series was
why? After seeing this movie I'm still wondering why? It's not a bad
movie, that I can say right from the start. I just can't understand
why would they make another origin story of it as it's already been
made 10 years earlier in Spider-Man (2002), which was good enough already? The only reason I can think of is
money. The sequels to the previous series didn't bring in as much
money as the first one, so I guess they thought the origin story is
where the money is and judging from the box-office scores they were
right. Just out of principle I should bash this movie down to the
ground as nothing more than a calculated money maker, but then again
it's actually not a bad movie. Comparing to the previous origin
story, this movie doesn't do many things better but it also doesn't
do many things worse, so it's basically the same movie just
different. Ye I know I'm starting to sound like a schizophrenic, it's
good but it's not, it's the same but it's not. But really, if you
take the previous origin story out of the history of the movies, this
would be a very good movie. Didn't really like the new Peter Parker,
Andrew Garfield, I mean he wasn't bad, but he surely wasn't great
either. The lizard wasn't exactly great either as the main villain at
least at the start, he does grow on you and I especially liked ending
of it all which was a positive surprise. Also the part of Peter
Parker growing with these powers, learning to use them and especially
the dilemma of whether to become a villain or a hero was a bit
rushed. Other than that I can't find anything to complain about this
one. But as I just can't shake the feeling of dirty businessmen
stealing my money, I can't rate it ignoring the previous one. Won't
give it a zero even though something tells me I should, so it'll end
up somewhere in the middle of the scale.
