Amazing attempts to keep rights


The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

Directed by Marc Webb this comic book adaptation stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans and Martin Sheen. A high school student is bitten by a spider in a science lab and gains super powers.

Inevitably this film is going to be compared to the Sam Raimi films and while this film does not do much wrong in comparison it is certainly the weaker film. Where this film falls short is in weaker characterisation and not doing as good a job of exploring the themes of Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man. Mostly the film is well made but the music comes of as decidedly bland and generic adding nothing to the film.

3/5
