The Amazing Spiderman 3D

7/10 stars
Finally, an actual film that has a strong story line.
After being side tracked by these so-called comedic films, it was a relief to actually view a film that had a lot more substance and gave you more bang for your buck.

I'm going to be honest, when I first saw the trailer and the multiple ads for this film I was not happy. I did not understand the need for a re-make (that seems to be Hollywood's latest trend) after the last release of the Spiderman trilogy a few years back starring Tobey McGuire.

Going into the film I didn't know what to expect. To my surprise this Spiderman travels down a completely different route than its predecessor trilogy, looking at Peter's fathers research and how it ties into his world today. I don't want to reveal too much for those who haven't seen the film. But I will tell you this- Spiderman himself was built completely different than the previous Spiderman. I was told that this film apparently follows the story line as first written in Marvel comics. I have not checked this out myself but I find it interesting.

One thing is for sure, jokes were flying left right and center. The film score was just right, but what really stood out were the graphics. It is in no way comparable to the previous trilogy graphics. This offered a somewhat more animated feel. I really liked this movie, and the stars Andrew (Peter) and Emma (Gwen) were excellent choices for the part. I recommend everyone to check out it! I rate this film 7 stars.
