The Amazing Spider-Man Director - Marc Webb

38

The question on all the lips, quality stuff, or an unnecessary too-soon repeat of an arachnid-specific manin-tights flick.

equipped, this boy rolls through the movie like a boss, changing from shy tortured soul, to witty badass in all the right places.

First off, ladies remember to take a spare change of panties because the male lead played by Andrew Garfield is has got geek-chic sex appeal down. Tight buttock and secretive smile

And as for the sumptuous Emma Stone with her thigh-high socks and a mouth that could… kill, let’s just say I hope none of you guys out there wore your skinny jeans to this movie.

Primitive urges aside, I found this movie had a lot more spunk throughout the plot compared to the movies that preceded it. The previous Spiderman movies had a similar tone the whole way through, serious tortured soul with a touch of twilight style yearning romance. This movie kept the darkness in the character, but made it either relatable, or sexy. The humorous moments allowed for a change in pace, but don’t overpower the general plot. Still easy somehow to take spandex clad web-spinning pretty-boy vs. scaly regenerating lizard man seriously. One thing I can’t understand though is why all the effort by the geniuses in the world can’t make the crossspecies genetics experiments work, but somehow just by accident a spider with a completely different purpose manages to achieve this with a simple masticate all up in Peter Parkers neck. Also the spider is created in the film for spinning webs, but this is the only Spiderman film where Peter Parker creates a device to spin his webs, because he doesn’t gain that ability himself. Super strength, but no white projectile? Just sounds like steroids to me. With the suspension of reality required for comic book based movies however, it is easy to get absorbed into this film. I would definitely recommend seeing it in the cinema. Sweet cinematography, great plot, witty dialogue, and sex appeal for Africa. Solid Effort Marc Webb. Review by Gina Broom
