After the Trilogy from Sam Raimi, director Marc Webb started a reboot for Spider-Man for those who hated Sam Raimi's trilogy. But then, I felt a bit more disappointed. This was also a mess as big as Spider-Man 3, but then I watched a few clips of the movie again, and I thought this mess was bigger than Spider-Man 3. The movie was marked to be the Untold Story. I see nothing untold.
Andrew Garfield played Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This time, there's no MJ but as I said there's another love interest and it is Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone. The performances were okay but the scenes they filmed, the plot they made, were kinda bad.
The first issue is Spider-Man. The biggest problem of the movie. He's like a bully, a punk, who wanted to skateboard when his teacher told him not to. He also bullied and humiliated Flash Thompson. I really don't like Garfield in here, I only liked him being Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network (2010). I though I'm gonna be excited for this, I thought this is gonna be better than Sam Raimi's trilogy, then it's a disappointment. The worst thing about Spider-Man in here is the suit. It's INCREDIBLY AWFUL! The eyes got yellow and the suit looked so old-fashion. The defences of the suit (people who commented to defend it) were a bunch of failures. They didn't even realize that Spidey got some cool web shooters, why can't he have a cool suit as well? That's just silly! The only thing I like about Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man is that he had a sense of humor. He usually told jokes in the movie but I don't think he's the funniest Spider-Man.
Rhys Ifans playing The Lizard was such an embarrassment. Then I realized "IT WAS THE SCREENPLAY THAT MADE IFANS SO BAD AT BEING DR. CURT CONNORS/THE LIZARD!". For example "Nowhere to hide, Peter" or "I'm getting stronger everyday!". How can he know Spider-Man is Peter Parker. I saw the screen a bit clearly and I saw there's a bit of bad CGI of the Lizard. Ifans made a really bad villain, and bad here meant terrible (with the terrible script). Who's writing this? But Topher Grace is still the worst casting choice of a villain. Don't worry Ifans!
The only thing I really like about this movie is Stan Lee's cameo and the scene when Spider-Man swung around the city. Stan Lee played the school librarian. He was tidying the chemicals and he didn't notice that it was a big mess behind him. He's listening to classic music. The scene was just so funny that made me laughed. The ending is good too when our webslinger was swinging around the city like Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004). This one was also as epic as those two.
This is (in conclusion) not a big mess but it is still a mess. There were so many problems with this movie but it's just part one so audiences would think that "it's okay, I give it a 9/10". I'm more of a stricter movie rater about some bad and disappointing movies and this one deserved a mixed rating from me.
