Review
I had loved the earlier series and as Spider-Man had been my favorite superhero in childhood, I was so eager to watch this reboot. Also I had prior information that it portrays the actual character of Peter Parker and the script with reference to the comics. And that's what it does. I loved the similarities even between the comics and the movie.
First of all, Marc Webb deserves an applause for making such a reboot. Brilliant direction of the movie by him seriously. A guy who just have a past experience of 500 Days of Summer which was a romantic comedy has done wonders in this superhero flick. I was always disturbed by the fact that Peter can throw webs from his hand. Its not the same now and its what should be referred with cartoons. Anyways lets not get deeply involved in the comparisons. Andrew Garfield is great in the superhero avatar. I am listening people are not liking his act as its too amateurish for them. But ask from yourself, what will you do (if you're a teenager) and you're suddenly blessed with superpowers? The character of Peter Parker is portrayed effectively and Garfield has provided optimum judgement to it. Emma Stone is nice as Gwen and has done good in her parts. I loved the cinematography. Very good use of camera in few scenes.
The script was engaging and not much happened too soon but I liked the character development. Things are not rushed and hence the big running time. They have used this installment to build up the character of Spider-Man strongly as well as introducing important characters in his life like Gwen and Dr. Curt Connors. It definitely allows us to know more deeply about Peter Parker. The comic timing is very good except maybe a a scene or two. Action scenes are superb and I will again like to include in the use of camera which is commendable. The best part of the movie was that it forced me and the rest of the audience to hoot, shout, applause, laugh at so many places. One sec! I almost forgot about the 3d effects. Well seriously the people who expect every 3d movie to be like Avatar should better watch in 2d. For the rest, the 3d effects are awesome at so many places. Watch out for the climax scene which was a perfect 3d end. As usual (being a Marvel movie), they have left a teaser at the end. So just wait for the credits and you'll get the look of the teaser. Loved the movie on whole.
