July 7, 2012 7:07 pm I have to agree with JASONRAGE. Like seriously. Did you watch this movie? Lol. Raise the stakes? Had they entered an additional scene about what they did as "lizard men" you would've simply written about how much you hated that. Lol. And yes swinging thru a city isn't as simple and far fetched as the Sam Raimi films suggested. I appreciated that crane scene because spider man doesn't just swing from building to building. It isn't and shouldn't be easy. In the first 3 spider man movies his webs shoot onto clouds and swing him around. His webs also go as far as he'd like them to go. Also unrealistic. The humor behind spider man is his realism. Hes a superhero with limits. That's why he's riding the top of a taxi car in the new avenging spider man comics - he states the web cartridges are expensive and he's cutting costs. This movie was way better than any of the Sam Raimi movies (in my opinion). Sure 2 had some good scenes but it also had A LOT OF BAD ONES. Or are we to forget that he stops a train like if his first name was super and not spider? Or the terrible Continuity issues in those few mins where he's stopping the train - which I rather not get into. I appreciate so much about this film. It's a set up film. It's a Peter Parker film. Not spider man. It's him becoming that towards the end. This movie was done well to set up great spider man films to come. I enjoyed watching Gwen Stacy and not Mart Jane. This movie was funny without being horribly cheesy (let us all mourn the scene where "raindrops keep falling on my head" played) Like the first 3. Andrew Garfield was directed much better than Seabiscuit was. He also didn't make him so god damn depressing all the time. The only knock I have on this movie is the score. I felt maybe at times it could've been better or simply felt like it didn't fit the mood the scene was giving off. Besides that, Marc Webb did well in the relaunch (in my opinion).
