The Amazing Spider-Man

[Andy K]

Yeah saw this attached to Prometheus, and in 3d it looked absolutely epic! I had this as a "meh, it'll be fine. I'll maybe just wait for the Blu-ray."

But hell, no! Not now. This trailer had people in the cinema I was in, whooping and yelling "yeah!" Never experienced that before.

Just got back. I absolutely loved it.

Anyone scared they would change too much of Spidey's origin story can stop worrying. They trolled the whinging fans with the trailers, plain and simple.

The entire cast was perfect, especially Garfield, who really made the role his own. Even the suit, which I kept changing my mind on, looked awesome in motion. The design of the Lizard, even in stills didn't look great, but looked awesome on screen.

The action was absolutely amazing. This is how Spidey moves in the comics. Raimi hinted at it, but never really captured it, and I just preferred the tone overall.

My only complaint is that after hearing all the hype about the 3D, it didn't really wow me. In fact, I could barely tell. That aside, it's an awesome Spidey movie, and I can't wait for the next one.

I saw it this morning and my inner fanboy came away utterly sated.

Pitch perfect. I'll admit I wasn't 100% sure about Denis Leary's character at first, but he redeemed himself by the final act.

I loved all the emotional beats, and the cinematography was superb. Special mention to the incredible way Spidey's moves have finally been captured faithfully.

The film was always going to get a +1 from me anyway due to having Martin Sheen in it, who by anyone's standards is nothing short of a legend and fucking great actor.

Top notch stuff.
