A lot of people have been speculating about The Amazing Spider-Man movie over the past several months and may have been thinking that it can't possibly be very good. How can it even compare to TDKR, Avengers, or
Tobey Maguire's "stunning" performance? Or, it's simply a reboot of a Marvel Comics movie that had to be done for legal copyright reasons (no, I don't really know what I'm talking about).

Now that I have seen it I will answer those concerns by saying I don't think any one should try to *compare* it to past Spider-Man movies or other comic book movies. This one stands alone in a new generation of comic book movies and hopefully more Amazing Spider-Man movies. I think it's a pretty original concept on the Amazing Spider-Man that borrows from the comic books and combines the best of today's technology and CGI.










The cast is comprised of the proper actors to play their respective roles. All of the characters were believable for the most part. I was intrigued with the entire plot and movie. One of the most interesting parts, to me, of this movie's format is that the Amazing Spider-Man is not dominated by the actual Spider-Man in his Spidey costume swinging around from building to building (although there is plenty of that). This is a great movie about a teenage boy struggling to become a responsible adult while dealing with some unique Super Powers. Isn't that the basics for any great, evolving Superhero?

Was the Avengers better? Will TDKR be F'n mind-blowing and put Spider-Man to shame? I don't care. I have and/or will continue to see every comic book movie while finding their redeming qualities. Of, course I do struggle to find these qualities more so with some movies than others (not naming names). I Loved this movie,would see it again, and can't wait to see the next edition!

Yeah that was awkward.

But the movie was badass imo.

Favorite one so far.

I take back everything I said about Garfield's big head.

The lizard still looked like:

I just saw it, I thought it was crap. I dont know if its cuz they are making the movies geared towards kids or if they are just making crap movies? but I thought it was just horrible, now all my hopes rest on TDKR

I am probably the minority on this but the only reason why TASM was good was because of the retelling of the origin story and how it gave it this time around more of an emotional connection for us. I still think that they failed on devolping Dr . connors arc and especially the cgi on the lizard was pretty bad. It took me out of the film it did not look realistic at all. Granted it is a huge humanoid lizard running around new york but the cgi seemed out dated for such a blockbuster film.

Tobey/Raimi spiderman in my opinion will always be compared to what tim burton has done for batman compared to nolan' version as far as making a good movie adaption of a comicbook. Tim burton changed how we look at batman and the tone of comicsbook movies while nolan further grounded batman and the tone. While Sam raimi showed how a straight to comicbook movie adaption can be made by staying true to the source material with out having to go dark. Because spiderman is not dark while Batman is.

Of course spiderman 3 failed only because of venom everything else was done well besides harry becoming the next GG. Sandman was done well enough and the black spiderman was great to see. But even though I thought spiderman 2 was kinda dull it was still decent and spiderman 1 was great except green goblin suite look like a b movie adaption. But the actor who played osborn did a great job carrying the character through.

Spiderman (tobey/raimi). 7.5/10
Spiderman 2 6/10
Spiderman 3 6/10. ( venom was the only downfall of this movie I think they did a great job with sandman and the black spiderman also thought emo parker was amusing.
TASM 6.5/10 (only becuase thet failed on deveolping the villian and the cgi of the lizard)

Apparently the actual box office for Spider-man's weekend came in a full $3 million below the estimates, which suggests that Sunday's box office dropped much further than Sony was expecting it to.

Wish they'd kept venom out of sm3 as well... Plenty to do with sandman (or shouldve just intro lizard!!) and a proper character arc and bookend with Harry being goblin. And Harry should've used the glider instead of the hover board and also,a wasted opportunity to finally use the purple hat and goblin mask!!

Sigh, but we all know this...

uhh... reviews ARE opinions buddy.

Although I agree with this review, especially with the "is avengers better? i dont care" part. I love both films for different reasons, and both are different enough. But I have to say, this is kind of a worthless article :| sorry

Sorry. If the author can't be bothered to spell Tobey Maguire's FIRST or LAST name correctly, why should I bother to read his drivel?

I actually thought the lizard looked great and I seen him on IMAX, also I have to say I thought the lizard really was a freaky bad guy, he was so strong and menacing I actually worried for spidey. Action was awesome infact I can't think of any better. It was a little slow but the top notch acting made it bearable. Lol Toby looks like a puffy faced cry baby nerd every time I seen him. Stan Lee cameo was friggen funny bra

The movie was pedestrian as hell, sitting through it was like running in maple syrup. I just watched Spidey 1 and 2 and they were easier and more fun to watch than this movie, plus Tobey didn't look underfed and stretched!

The movie came in $4 million less than they estimated yesterday so its not $142 but $137 million its made in 6 days which is real low for a Spider-man movie. Spidey 1 managed $144 million, Spidey 2 managed $192 million and even Spidey 3 managed $176 million in 6 days.

the only good casting in Raimi's trilogy was Norman Osborn ,J.Jonah,Macho Man and Bruce Campbell,Uncle Ben and Aunt May were pretty good too,i guess...i hate those movies but J.Jonah Jameson was the highlight,that guy nailed it

Toby McGuire may have given a stunning performance, but Tobey Maguire definitely didn't.

You guys can't tell me you weren't stunned after the emo scene in Spider-Man 3.

Haha, but all kidding aside the Raimi movies were pretty good, with the exception of Venom in Spider-Man 3.

But in my opinion, The Amazing Spider-Man was way better. I liked Garfield a lot better than Maguire, and the movie overall was just amazing.

This was an epic movie, best in the bunch IMO but this was just a teaser for what's to come, the sequel has potential. I hope it's electro and then at the end GG Kills Gwen.

So was this "review" a bunch of tweets copied and pasted in to make this or what? This is the shortest "review" I have ever seen. There were more random pics of Spiderman lore than actual words lol.

Lol what? Tobey is a terrible actor, and only has a few "ok" performances throughout his career.

What a bunch of whiners, most of you have never read a Spidey comic then if you haven't seen his attitude. While this took much of its inspiration from the Ultimate universe, to continue to go with the version done in the 60's and the way in which Peter acted is not really a realistic with the way in which youth act, whereas the Ultimate's version is a more updated version of youth.

Plus for the whiners about 4 million do you people know that many on the East Coast were without power last week for 3-4 days or more? Guess you don't read the news or anything people probably had other things to take care of than trying to get to see a movie.
