It was the general public's perception that Mark Webbs (Yes, mere coincidence) interpretation of Spider-Man was a Sony gimmick in attempt to raise cash for a dwindling Sony empire. So it is quite a surprise that this version was quite refining and tasteful. The studio labeled the new flick dark and was adamant about it not coinciding with Sam Raimis trilogy, still fresh in our minds.
The origin story develops as it did in the comic with a cause and effect timeline; Teenage boy stumbles onto unfortunate endeavors faces adversary gets bit by a radioactive spider and transforms into The Amazing Spiderman! Peter Parker now played by up and coming actor (Andrew Garfield) expresses a grittier tone with valid inner flaws but not the pushed around unsocial outcast portrayed in the past. Peter still has his moments when opposed by the school bully Eugene “Flash Thompson” (Chris Zylka) seems to be tangled in a web of guilt and expresses a inner weight in sketches throughout the story-line This is all about Peter Parker more than his alter ego, Webb makes you feel for him. Even though we all know the story line like a Shakespearean tragedy, you'll still find yourself parallel to Parkers unfortunate circumstances.
The usual supporting characters form the series are present from dependable parental stand-ins, Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) & Aunt May (Sally Field). Ben's presence is a stepping stone for the alter ego strong sense of responsibility that Peter will convey throughout the story line. It Is also the linage that presents this film with an in-depth vision into Spiderman's personal life.
What really bonds the story line is the chemistry of the romance between Spiderman's actual first romantic ventures Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) Zombie land as opposed to classic Mary-Jane Watson. There is more substance between Gwen Stacy & Peter Parker as there “relationship “intertwines Spider Mans personal life which intern spotlights his human vulnerability. It also supplies the non comic book crowd access to emotionally attachment and relate to shall we dare say love story.
A subject not closely untouched in previous summer superhero blockbusters. The villain this time is a close friend and mentor again almost father cast figure in Parkers life scientist Dr. Curtis Connors (RhysI fans) stereotypical but in tune to the original is victim to hazardous biochemical substances and morphs into……., The Lizard! Not Spiderman's greater equal but again a direct connection between the superhero and the teenage boy.
There are luminous blend of cinematic sequences of Marvel's New York City. Although the film is not obviously made for 3D nor is it a mentionable footnote it is also not exaggeration like most present films. The physical properties are more concrete as and real world like Spiderman is hurt by his surroundings and even scared, bruised and broken. Webb gives you the web slinger package with, web-slinging acrobats and a fearlessly smooth transition in between CGi and authentic real segments. The fight scenes are deceptively camouflaged in Garfield's gymnastics background. The IMAX sensation delivers great sound and implication on moments of suspense though the sound can drown the dialogue. Ultimately the film sets out what it was meant to do; reap insure ticket sales, deliver a product, and keep the franchise going for future sure films. While it does contain a lot of overlap with of the story we've seen before, it still contains enough of its own substance to be a fresh movie-goer experience.
