Episode 21: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN- Movie Review

         Thank God I saw Spider-Man rather than Katty Perry's 3D Concert. Then again, I could imagine the horror of my mom dragging me to see it.
         Anyway, I am going to start a new format of reviews similar to the format of my Snow White & the Huntsman. So let's get started! The Amazing Spider-Man is directed by Marc Webb and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans. Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man must solve the mystery behind his parents' disappearance. He meets Dr. Curt Connors who conducts an experiment that goes horribly wrong and turns himself into a gigantic humaniod lizard that soon wreaks havoc on New York. Spider-Man must then face the Lizard and stop Connors'  destruction.
       So if you haven't seen my review for the third trailer of this movie, I stated that I was thinking that this movie would be great. Now that I've seen the movie, I am going to talk about the direction. Marc Webb is the director of 500 Days of Summer and that made me think that he would kill it at directing the dramatic scenes but not that good in the action sequences. In a Spider-Man movie, you should have a director who can direct action. Wow, I was wrong because the action in this movie was awesome. This whole movie was awesome. Andrew Garfield was awesome as Peter Parker and in my opinion, he was a better Spider-man  than Tobey Maguire. This Spider-Man was funny, sarcastic, and could take dramatic issues very well. He also had a great relationship with Emma Stone who plays Gwen Stacy. I also thought that Rhys Ifans was great as Dr. Connors. The CGI for the Lizard was very good, also.
           What I love most about this movie is that the movie is very faithful to the comic books and television shows. Spider-Man was funny and sarcastic. Peter Parker built the webshooters. Gwen Stacy was even in the comics before Mary Jane like in this movie. It reminded me most of the T.V. series, The Spectacular Spider-Man. One more thing that I'll say about this movie before I talk about the 3D is  don't leave the theater until the credits finish. I saw this movie in 3D and for the first two acts, there isn't much use of the 3D, which disappointed me. Then, the third act happened and there was some really cool 3D tricks. I'd say that if you are going to see this movie, you should pay to see it in 3D. Anyway, I love this movie and it is my second favorite movie of the summer and year. I am going to give The Amazing Spider-Man a perfect score of 10/10.
