Everybodys knows that so far the reception from Mark Webb's latest film, based of the Marvel Comics, The Amazing Spider-Man has recieved mix reactions. Despite the great cast, alot of the critisism has been towards Spidey's new suit and the look of The Lizard. I won't lie, I've been somewhat critisizing the film. Alot of the critisizim I feel has been towards the fact that NOBODY including me is exactly happy with the fact that the franchise has been rebooted. But here are my reasons that this latest incarnation and this summer's comicbook underdog deserves a view.

1: The cast: This is something that has to be a reason to be excited. Yea they don't EXACTLY look like their comicbook counter parts but they still look the part PLUS their great actors. Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen and Sally Feild. Are you kidding me? There is no reason why this cast for this film can't get a view.

2: The Untold Story: That is the films tagline, this has gotten critisizim as well for people asuming it's the same story as before....WRONG! It's called the untold story for a reason, it's a different story than the original trilogy, plus the depth of the story and characters give it the obvious that this is carrying more in touch with the comics depth.

3: More in touch with the comics: As stated before it's more in deoth and in touch with the comics. Web shooters, Gwen being Peter's first real love, Peter's parents. It keeps it in reality, keeps it more like the comics, more relatable, Peter also has the humor when he's Spider-Man which is something the fans have been dying for, for a long time. But yet you still complain? What the hell people?!?!?!

4: Director: Mark Webb may have only had one feature film, 500 Days of Summer. So doing a film like this for a second film is pretty risky, but he seems to understand the character and between him and James Vanderbilt they seem to understand the characters more than Alvin Sargent and Sam Raimi. Mark Webb is a great director and he made a great film, so it's kinda hard not to be excited for the new Spider-Man film.

5: More of a say: In the previous trilogy, Sony had more say than Raimi. This time they let the director have a little more freedom which from the look of the trailers may make for a better film.

6: Slightly darker: Since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, people have been expecting Superhero movies to be darker, to be honest it doesn't always work like that. This Spider-Man film seems to be a little darker than the original trilogy, it helps the fact that the film's villain is a monster.

Whatya think? I tried to add more depth and explination into my reasons. Agree or Disagree with them? Comment your thoughts below.
