Peter
Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents
disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision
course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.
Yes,
I have to admit that Spiderman is one of my favorites. I liked the
previous trilogy (well, the first two) but was excited to see a
re-boot on it. In my Kung Fu fantasy world, I'm a great warrior, but
always toss out horrible banter during fights because it relaxes me
and is distracting to my opponents. I think I get that from
Spiderman. Unfortunately, we wear mouth guards in sparring class, so
the witty banter sounds like someone chewing on a piece of gun the
size of a hamburger bun. Spidy doesn't have that problem...
Why
did I come to this movie again?
Because
I wanted to see the new Spiderman!

Characters
I
feel like this movie was well cast. I can't think of a single
character that felt out of place or at all wrong. Everyone got their
fair share of emotional upheaval. I was surprised that they left
Peter Parker in high school, but I think it worked for this film. If
not for a guy in my writing group I would have no idea who Gwen
Stacey was, and I'm afraid of what will happen to the poor girl.

Did
I care what happened?
Yes,
I cared what happened. I even cared about the bully when Peter
decided to beat him up a little bit. (Okay, I cheered inside, but
still knew it wasn't a very nice thing to do.) I loved the
conversation Peter has with the police commissioner about Spiderman
being a vigilante—both sides to the issue and presented very well.

Plot
Holes
I
honestly can't think of anything huge. They didn't make it clear if
Spidey could heal faster than normal humans, which I kind of wanted
to know and thought was important. Then again, I've never read the
comics (just Saturday morning cartoons and movies) so maybe he
doesn't. I can't remember. Oh, and I'm not sure he really could have
gotten into the spider room like he did. That part did make me roll
my eyes.

Cool
Factor
I
really liked how they put a few new twists on this origin story. The
skate board cracked me up, and I loved the first scene where he was
trying to figure out his powers. The webs went back to being
mechanical rather than coming out of Spidey, which I think is closer
to the original story. Whoever choreographed the fight scenes did an
awesome job with using the webs in every aspect of the battle, which
my not so inner Kung Fu fan girl squealed about. And although there
was a lot of CGI going on, I didn't feel beaten down with it, which
was nice.

The
End
Mostly
I liked the end. I was a bit upset with Peter Parker when he decides
to go back on his promise, but wasn't surprised. The thing is, why
then? Like with Batman, they didn't show me this switch, so I didn't
get it.

Overall
Enjoyment
I
liked! Great lines (both funny and profound), awesome cast, a moment
that made me tear up and I wanted to clap at the end. A good movie.
