Review For The Amazing Spider-Man
It rarely stumbles into "terrible," but this "Spider-Man" never rises to anything, either. Where's the charm, the heart, the humor? Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service This is a grittier webslinger saga, led by a Peter Parker with swagger and angst and a tone defined more by emotional resonance than wide-eyed wonder. It still has plenty of fizz. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News This might be a fun summer blockbuster if only it even remotely needed to exist. Dana Stevens-Slate The Amazing Spider-Man is considerably more fun-and, yes, even touching-than so premature a reboot had any right to be. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic If you've seen half a dozen superhero films, and the box office results suggest you have, then you've also seen what "The Amazing Spider-Man" has to offer. Laremy Legel-Film.com At 28, Garfield's slightly older than Maguire was when he played Peter Parker in 2002, but his combination of fresh-faced innocence, nervous agitation and wry humor is immediately appealing. Tom Charity-CNN.com The recasting works. If Maguire is the Spider-Man of Spidey co-creator Steve Ditko, this is the Spider-Man of artist John Romita: a little slicker, a little more modern. Spider-Man in skinny jeans, if you will. Joe Gross-Austin American-Statesman For a superhero origin film, it's pretty good, but it's hardly amazing. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade It's almost impossible to watch the film without thinking of what could have -- and what already has -- been, therefore it's extremely difficult to enjoy on its own merit. Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk I go to a Spider-Man movie to see the guy duke it out with powerful bad guys. I'm simple that way. I don't need a welter of convolutions. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com This edgier Parker feels a more believable alter-ego - closer to the wise-cracking, ass-kicking hero from the comics and early animated TV series. Andy Lea-Daily Star "The Amazing Spider-Man" isn't as dramatically revisionist as Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins," but it's as good as Raimi's first "Spider-Man" film and darker, while still being tongue-in-cheek. That's a tough tone to master. James Plath-Movie Metropolis A superior film that promises to age better than Sam Raimi's films... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed While the film is a similarly-bland telling of the same origin story we saw brought to film just ten years ago, The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-Ray is easily recommendable for its outstanding video and audio quality. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered A riveting relaunch of one of Marvel Comics' most beloved superheroes! Kam Williams-NewsBlaze The potential is there for a much bigger, better, Spider-Man movie universe to come, even if this movie doesn't fully realize that potential. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant We all know that Spider-Man 3 sucked, but did it have to come to this? A 'one strike and you're out' policy? I would have taken a Raimi/Maguire Spider-Man 4 over this retread any day. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat Not quite 'amazing' then, but there will always be a deserving audience for rock-solid superhero movies done with this kind of heart and care. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic While Raimi's Spidey was primarily inspired by the classic modellings of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Webb blends a welcome hybrid of Nolan's Bat-verse and Brian Michael Bendis' rightly-acclaimed Ultimate Spider-Man run. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor The Amazing Spider-Man may be a reboot, but it feels entirely fresh thanks to a strong, different interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos and tremendous performances from the excellent ensemble. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered After the film's runtime of over two hours, you may be surprised how little of it sticks with you. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com "The Amazing Spider-Man" would be amazing if we didn't just see it a few years ago. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com Director Marc Webb apparently didn't get the memo that the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink edition is strictly reserved for the DVD. Erick Weber-NECN If, however, you want a perfectly entertaining and efficient movie, then this will prove to be actually rather fun. Witney Seibold-CraveOnline Doesn't feel like a remake, good or bad... it feels like it already needs to be remade. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline It's unfortunate that the set pieces feel a little derivative of Raimi's films, but that was always likely to be the case given the close proximity of this new film to its predecessors.
