The Amazing SpiderMan
This review contains some spoilers.
The most anticipated movie of summer just behind “The Dark
Knight Rises” amazes but in patches.
Spider-Man is back and this time he is cuter, smarter and
meaner. The biggest challenge for the makers was to bring out a movie which was
different from the old Spider-man and I guess they failed.
The whole movie you feel you have been here. They start with
Peter’s parents leaving him to his uncle and aunt and never coming back. The poor kid grows into a very bright
student, a boy who loves photography, is good at heart and got some beating by
fellow mate. He turns into Spidey enjoys his skills, watches his uncle die
because of him, fights a monster to save the city, and then sacrifice his love.
Peter Parker gets clue about his father work and he tries to
track his former partner a biochemical scientist, a man who has lost his right
arm and from years is trying to find the formula for regeneration of cells.
His encounter with Spider was more dramatic and satisfying.
And what transpired was enjoyable. The kid flexes his muscles, enjoys his skate
rides, beats people by mistake in train, humiliate his college mate. And he
gets the girl.
Andrew Garfield is a good successor of Tobey, he does
justice to his character and Emma Stone definitely scores bigger than Kirsten.
The web Peter casts in the movie to swing and attack is artificial. He made a
device and attach to his wrists to get it going. That was on thing in movie I
guess that was unexpected, the other one was how easily his identity has been
disclosed to his girlfriend Gwen.
The normal routine starts as Peter handles his father’s
algorithm to his former partner just to watch him turn into a monster. Finally
the movie begins.
The last hour of movie gives you everything you came for.
Most of it you have seen in trailers though. 3D has made this movie enjoyable
in the last half. The Spiderman looks amazing in 3D as he swings from building
to building in NYC. And like every time he saves the city from the havoc of
monster.
And in the Spiderman tricks they have used his web to great
use. He uses his both hands webs and sticks it to something and turns them into
Slingshot various times, the fall of Oscorp building in 3D was awesome.
The movie scores big in visual graphics, but scores poor in
storyline. The cop father of the girl is a wasted character until he made
Spiderman promise not to date his girl. Irfaan khan is not used at all, maybe
we can see him in the next installment as we know it will come from the credits
at the end. The bad guy is not much intimidating.
The whole movie was termed to be Spiderman looking for his parent’s
clue and he came no close. They have saved it for the next part or who knows
for the 3rd part.
Go and enjoy a nice ride in 3D, but you won’t come back with
any new memories of spiderman.
Rating - 3/5
Decent job... dude!!!
ReplyDeleteThe story has been changed a lot from what we have seen in cartoon series and in the past spidey movies, that is a reason i guess we find it hard to digest. Yes, they fooled us on unravelling the mystery about his parents. It still stands where it was. :(
I must say that i missed J Jonah Jameson character.
3D effects were awesome in the later part, atleast some payback for us plus the webbing device makes the whole flying thing more believable.
Bad guy wasnt given much power and the story did lack the intenseness as if we knew what was going to happen.
Looks like our bollywood actors are hired only for doing cameos just like T20.
In all, this may be a build up story as they had to cover the creation of the hero. Hopefully next time they put up better plot with a better villain.
Waiting for Dark knight Rises...
