I went to watch the new version of Spiderman (aka The Amazing Spiderman) yesterday. The old classmates I was with wanted to spring for 3D surprisingly, so that's what we ended up watching. If you're thinking about it, I'd say don't go for the 3D - it's not that spectacular.
It was quite an enjoyable show. It was a nice retelling and upgrade of the same origin story that we're familiar with. Even the side storyline involving Peter's father was quite intriguing and helped pull some of the storylines along.
Unlike the previous trilogy, you could really tell that you were in New York city in the movie. I might not be entirely familiar with the New York city skyline, but I did recognise quite a few of the buildings. And the streets of New York were closer to what I remember them to be.
Whoever choreographed the fight scenes deserve kudos as well. I liked the fighting style of this Spiderman better, and it made for a good contrast to the fighting style of the Lizard. Plus the police actually got to do stuff, though it was probably more to the bigger role that Captain Stacey was supposed to play.
Andrew Garfield is really cute and Emma Rose was awesome as Gwen Stacey. I loved loved loved that the romantic love interest got to do more than stand around. She was actually quite instrumental in the plot and was Spiderman's equal when it came to the main action. I loved the wisecracks too. Spiderman sometimes as a motormouth, and we got to see it here. I kind of enjoyed that.
But is this my Spiderman?
