The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

Summary: Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. -IMDb

My Rating: 6/10

Compared to the other Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire, this film did not seem to be on the same level. Oh, this film did have its comedy. It definitely beat out the other Spider-Man movie on comedy, but my impression of Andrew Garfield's interpretation of Spider-man was that he was just a horny little teenager. It was quite entertaining to see Garfield act as a high school kid trying to figure out some sort of cool costume for himself, and realizing all the best athletes wore spandex. In this aspect, the fact that Garfield was so childish, definitely gives off the impression that he was a high schooler. Maguire did not seem as childish. All in all, the older Spider-Man is still my favorite, but this movie was still quite entertaining.

 The mystery of why his parents abandoned him is even at the end, still a mystery. I feel as though the ending of this movie could have been more of an ending. There was not really much of an ending. There was more of a "let's leave clues for the sequel" type of ending.

I might watch the sequel if they come out with one, or I might not.
