  1. I watched this movie 3 times in the theater so you guys can guess what i thought of it but just for the sake of discussion and after giving it some time to think about it I will give my thoughts about the movie. The movie is not by all means perfect but to me it is a great adaptation of the Spider-Man comics, some people dislike this movie and some even hate as much as to the point of comparing it to twilight of all things (one of them is even a review guy that i tend to watch a lot) and probably those people are guys that have been reading spider-man since the beginning who are extremely bias on how a superhero adaptation should be but I'm getting off topic. My opinion is that it is a great adaptation and it stands on its own merit and as well a comparison against the Raimi films. I still love the Raimi films but they are not a perfect representation of what spider-man is, the morals are there and the costume is accurate but the character himself is not represented well, Toby spidey does not have the charm that garfield spidey has, garfield in the movie acts like a teenager, he makes mistakes and he is impatient and this leads to consequences, as spider-man he makes jokes and he is a smart ass HE IS SPIDER-Man, something that Tobey was missing in his performance, other people are also comparing the film to Batman begins due to the nature of why Peter becomes spidey instead of trying to make a profit with his powers and frankly that is not a bad thing, they are taking liberties to try something different since the talked scenario was already done and frankly if you are just going to do the same script then I will just stick to the original. Now like I said the movie is not perfect, it has 1 or 2 inconsistencies here and there but it is not something that will take you away from the experience, they are just laughable at best but it could have been worse. I fell in love with Emma Stone (again) she does Gwen's role perfectly and she is not the typical damsel in distress like Dunst's Mary Jane was (who i swear can only speak in screams) in fact Gwen is not a Damsel in distress at all, she is badass in this movie. the weakest character may be the lizard cause they took something that his character sorely needed to be interesting and that was his family, without that his motivations are pretty weak but even so i still enjoyed the movie, ppl say that the "Great Responsibility" line is not in the movie but the thing is that it is there just hidden through what Ben was talking to Peter, he did not say the exact words but he did say it. Overall the movie was a great MODERN take on Spider-Man as opposed to Raimi's 60's Superhero meets modern times campy adaptation but I will leave you guys to decide since after all, opinions vary on the taste of each person and this movie is proof of it.
