My Friends

8Jul 12

I'll try to limit the spoilers as best I can, but reader beware. Just saw the film a couple of days ago. I give it a solid C. Not sure why, but it just didnt seem that appealing to me. The acting was decent - especially Emma Stone who did a wonderful job as Gwen Stacy. Unfortunately, the plot and overall feeling of the movie was just incredibly underwhelming. Maybe I'm starting to tire of the superhero genre, but there just didnt seem to be anything in the film that really excited me. They certainly took liberties with the story of spiderman, but many films do that. It just seemed very slow to develop and disjointed at times. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I came out a little disappointed. A lot of the critics praised Garfield as Peter Parker, but I just had a tough time with him in the lead role. Can't quite put my finger on it, but he didnt jibe with the persona of Peter Parker. Not a bad movie, just not the blockbuster I had hoped.

i am rather mix on it. 

 

Spider-Man is still not nearly as funny as he is in the books. 

new Uncle Ben and Aunt May are very good.

Lizard's motivations and reasoning didn't make a lick of sense to me.

 

one really silly and goofy scene leading up the to climax (you know what i'm talking about)

 

my biggest issue with it, is how contrived it is. Person x happens to work for/ related to x. happened so often, it got rather silly.

 

I will say i did like the action sequences, and i did like the romance between Peter and Gwen, though that may have to do with those two being in a real relationship in the real world.
