Quick Review: Spiderman 2012

I had the opportunity to recently see this film and just had to write a "quick review".  What I mean by that is that I am basically going to give you my two cents on the film and a recommendation for or against the thing.  In the past I have spent a lot of time covering many different aspects of films that perhaps readers just weren't interested in reading?

Ok, so here we go, The Amazing Spiderman.  If MTV or Nickelodeon had won the rights to the beloved Spiderman library and made a film about it in their own take then you would have this film.  This film is geared towards the younger generation and plays out like a beefed up after school special.  We have all grown up and personally loved Tobey Maguire in the previous films so why Sony felt like they had to go and change everything out is a mystery to me.

The best actor in this film to me is Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.  She is easy on the eyes and a joy to watch in this film.  Andrew Garfield is a no named actor that really doesn't fill the tights to play the role of Peter Park/Spiderman.  I hate to sound mean but in my opinion he was a bad choice. Our evil baddy, The Lizard, is a CGI mess and makes me wonder where all the money went into making this film.  The story overall was ok.  It is once again another "re-imagining" of the story we saw years earlier in the original Spiderman.  We have been there and done that and frankly I don't think people are that interested in visiting this story once again so soon.

If you have nothing else to watch then check this out on PPV or on demand where ever you may be.  Trust me you will get tired of it quick and wonder why you wasted your money.  That is unless you have young teenage girls in your house then I am sure they will love it.
