Amazing Spider-Man

The new Amazing Spider-Man spider-man reboot is … alright. It’s ok. It’s the same origin story we saw ten years ago though – just remixed so I spent most of the time wondering how they were going to tell the same story in a new way with new actors. And it’s not as exciting as it thinks it is. But I liked some of the realism in it – Spiderman gets tons of bruises that he has to explain away as Peter the next day, news helicopters film all the downtown fights, the police are called out in force to deal with the craziness going on… just a little more grounded in real life (if you forget the giant lizard man and guy crawling up buildings).
