The Amazing Spider-man
Jul. 6th, 2012 12:47 amLet me make a blanket request for all scientists current and future: if you have developed a brilliant, one-of-a-kind algorithm that you are 100% sure will be used for evil because all your friends are evil, do me a favor and don’t keep it stashed in an oh-so-secret pocket in your briefcase. Just go ahead and destroy that sucker.
In short, my review is: I…do not know why this movie was made. The Amazing Spider-man is okay, but you know, it’s really only been a decade since the first movie in the Tobey Macguire Spider-Man series (and only five years since the third movie in that series), and from what I can tell, the story of Peter Parker does not justify a reboot if nothing drastic is being changed. A nerd gets bitten by a magical spider and then fights crime.
( Spoilery thoughts on how “amazing” is a bit much… )
