Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Aug 13, 2012
Pros: Garfield, Stone, Ifans, Field, Sheen, Leary
Cons: Not very different from the first Raimi film
Summary: Some action heroes are so popular, they get relaunched. The Batman movies of the eighties and nineties preceded Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Sam Raimi brought Spider-Man to the screen in three solid outings starring Tobey ... read more

Pros: Spider-man fans' treat. Interesting character interpretation. Watchable!!!
Cons: How much Spider-man is enough for one?
Summary: This paragraph describes my odd experience on watching this 3D flick in AMC Theaters on July 17, 2012. I don’t mind movie trailers. They are expected. But my son and I got to the movie 8 minutes after its scheduled time, ... read more

Pros: Nice job of updating the story; a smart, capable Gwen Stacy; a scary villain.
Cons: Too much time is spent on Spider-man's origin story-- which everybody already knows.
Summary: The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, which immediately makes it rather problematic-- for the simple reason that the original trilogy wasn't all that long ago. In fact, the first Spider-Man movie ... read more

Pros: Cast; visuals; action sequences "slower" this time around
Cons: Origin and some characterizations get skewered; No J. Jonah Jameson; Spider-Man gets depowered (?!?)

Pros: Well-done visual effects. Better writing for Peter/Gwen arc than previous films.
Cons: Non-organic web shooters. Too much lifted from previous films.
Summary: Go ahead and chalk me up as one of those who wasn't exactly all excited to hear of a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise. After all, the first film in the Sam Raimi-directed series only came out 10 years ago. And Spider-Man 3 only came out 5 ... read more

Pros: Entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: One or two things seem slightly off. Bit soon for a reboot.
Summary: When Sony decided to reboot the Spider-Man movies, I wasn’t what to think other than that it was too soon for a reboot. I’ve been interested in seeing the new movie, The Amazing Spider-Man, since I started to see ... read more

Pros: Praiseworthy direction. Good storyline. Good sequencing.
Cons: Lesser action, special effects and above all less 3D
Summary: Preface Retracing the roots of a movie has always been a welcome idea, and if orchestrated well, it usually renders desirable results. Making prequels or sequels to reboot a franchise has been the thing in vogue for a while now. Form Star ... read more

Pros: Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Denis Leary, climactic sequence
Cons: (Sound of wind blowing)
Summary: This film opens thirteen or fourteen years before Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) becomes Spiderman, with a sequence explaining why Peter was brought up by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). One night, three-year-old Peter ... read more

Pros: Don't need to be a comics fan to enjoy.
Cons: A tad too long.
Summary: The film is not “better” than Tobey MacGuire’s version of Spiderman in the first film; in fact it is not really a “remake.” It’s a reimagined version. What’s best about this version? The ... read more

Pros: Casting, storyline, a more complicated plot than previous Spider-Man flicks.
Cons: The CGI Lizard was...underwhelming.
Summary: There are some geeks out there who are angry that the Spider-Man franchise is being rebooted "already," after just a five year gap. For me, based on the pretty-terrible Spider-Man 3, that ... read more

A promising super-hero!

Pros: Great cast, including the new guy
Cons: The trailers show the finale
Summary: I caught an afternoon screening of The Amazing Spider-Man today with a bunch of co-workers and quite enjoyed it though I really had no interest in seeing it. We just finished a trilogy of these movies a couple years ago, and now Sony wants to keep ... read more

Pros: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone carry the story
Cons: A poor choice of villain
Summary: I was hesitant to check out The Amazing Spider-Man from the moment I first heard about it. I’m not a huge fan of rebooting a franchise, especially when the last entrant in a series just took place five years ago. Still, I was a huge fan of ... read more
