Comic movies must be the in flu to have around Hollywood at the moment. Not only are they popping up left and right, but the moment one studio sneezes out a trailer, another follows suit a few days later! This time around it's the turn of the reboot The Amazing Spider-Man, and the villian Sam Raimi was building, but never quite got to in his spider-trilogy, at last gets to shed some skin in the dawn of this one...
What do you think?

I'm a Raimi fan and wasn't happy to hear the studio was rebooting Spidey. After watching this I feel a lot better about it though. This not only looks as good as the Raimi films, I'm thinking Garfield makes a better Parker/Spidey than Tobey ever did.
ReplyDeleteHey Craig, thanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteFor me I have to say the nerves still continue. It's hard to explain, but this looks like a pretty confident Peter Parker - very decisive and strong - which aren't characteristics I would've applied to Pete, especially at his origins.
Mind you Raimi nailed the kind of Pete I think of so well, maybe sticking with the love-struck, downtrodden optimist type of dude would've just made a reboot seem unnecessary, so they had to tweak the character a little more, who knows?
Still with the Lizard in it and Spider-Man, I'd check this film out even if it was made by apes, so my tickets still fully booked either way!
now that looked good!
