Full disclosure before I start this review off, I'm a huge Spider-Man fan, so I try not to let that sway me one way or another, but this is a Spider-Man film that really does seem to me like a different movie than the other ones because there is so ...

In the summer of 2011 FOX released a prequel (read: reboot) of their than tarnished X-Men franchise. Rushed into production, out of contractual obligation than an obvious want to make a good movie. Surprisingly FOX managed to get Matthew Vaughn to direct and James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender to star.If you ...

I'll be honest, I wasn't incredibly optimistic walking into The Amazing Spider-Man. His origin story is something I've seen countless times before (Sam Raimi's films, the 616 Marvel Universe, the Ultimate Universe, each cartoon show), so I wasn't thrilled to see it unfold all over again on the big screen. ...

I will freely admit that I was a bit uncertain about going to see the Amazing Spider-Man movie. First off, the costume wasn’t impressing me. I’m not so much a purist that I demand every single detail in a comic book-based movie has to be perfect, but if they do ...

The Amazing Spider-man is an okay film, and probably would have been a great one if it weren’t for the clowns at Sony.While all film distributors must be primarily driven to make money, Sony/Columbia’s extreme greed and lack of any artistic integrity is a step beyond anything the other companies ...

Did we really need a reboot already? Seriously, it's only been five years since the last Spider-Man film, and only ten years since web-head first made it to the screen. Yes, of course director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire needed to move on, but that doesn't mean a new ...

There has been a bunch of mixed feelings about the idea of The Amazing Spider-Man. The idea of rebooting the franchise and retelling the origin again kinda feels unnecessary. While that may be the case to some extent, I was still willing to give this movie a chance. Which leads ...

This is a reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, tracing Peter Parker's (Andrew Garfield) upbringing from a small child. Feeling his family is endangered because of revelations in his scientific work, Peter's father Richard decides to leave his son to be raised with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen). ...

This movie was... not that amazing. And I gotta say, James Horner's score was truly horrific. Just completely out of place for most scenes. It's pretty much one heroic/inspirational motif that just gets used over and over and over again, when it just doesn't really fit at all. Elfman's score ...

While I won't rag on this Spiderman, because Andrew Garfield is a pretty decent Spiderman all around, I can't help but still feel more compelled by Toby Maguire's performance from a decade ago.The best moments of "The Amazing Spiderman" are the ones that don't involve Peter Parker's alter ego. While ...

Here is an actual conversation that happened in an important room with influential people.“Let’s make a new Spider-Man movie.”“Okay, what should it be about?”“Spider-Man.”“Okay.”And so it was made.The Amazing Spider-Man leads something of a shameless existence. It’s entertaining, but highly unnecessary. There’s just not a lot of compelling reasons for ...
