Well what can I say, the film was was pretty amazing after all. It stood on it's own grounds and hasn't copied anything from the previous films. It was darker and more brutal when it came to the fight scenes. It had it's sad moments, it had it funny moments, it even had it's bloody shocking moments and well obviously, it had it's outstanding moments. Visually it was absolutely stunning. There's less CGI, and even when that was used, it was well better than the first film away back 10 years ago. I feel that the films director, Marc Webb gave the film some true realism, kind of like Christopher Nolan's "Batman" franchise. Now I'm not comparing it to that totally, but it sticks to that type of tone, look and feel.
New Spidey, Andrew Garfield was so, well more human than Tobey McGuire's Spidey/Peter Parker. Once he became Spidey, he was a lot cockier,but come on.....surely that's allowed. Cocky is fun, whereas McGuire's still stayed "all goody too shoes" on us. At times you felt more sorry for him, especially near the end, but I ain't saying nothing there because this is a "spoiler free" review.
When it comes to miss Emma Stone, well I can't say anything bad about Stone playing the very blonde and sexy Gwen Stacey, because she is a saint and I love her. All joking aside, the chemistry between her and Garfield's Peter Parker was convincing, even more convincing than the chemistry between McGuire's Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane Watson, which is reportedly appearing in the sequel to this reboot. Not Dunst, just the MJ character. I really hope Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets the role.
When it comes to the films main plot, I really don't want to give much away, but it's so well put together, that when it comes to the end.............you seriously wish it wasn't, much like "Avengers Assemble". The origins of Parker and his parents play a big part in the film and this is where Dr Curt Connors comes in to the story. Connors is played by Brit, Rhys Ifans. Connors knows something about Parkers past and more about his dad than anyone, so he's got much to tell him and well keep from him as you'll find out. Again, like I said, I don't want to give much away. Just go and see it and enjoy it like I did.
If I was to compare it to the first three films, I'd definitely say that this was much much better than the third, an upgrade from the very first and well not as good as the second one, when it comes to the lead villain, but that's okay because the rest of the film was bloody brilliant. I'd definitely give it 9/10, because I didn't really feel as though Rhys Ifans was convincing enough. I felt sorry for him at times, but he could have been a weeeee bit better for me to give it the full 10.
Over all this truly is a fantastic reinvention of a much loved franchise and I hope people love it as much as I did. If it does as well as hoped, a sequel will definitely definitely definitely be swinging around the corner, well even though it's already happening, but then again it could have got cancelled if this one was crap!!!
