Simply...AMAZING!

The Amazing Spider-Man. Oh man...Go watch this movie! Seriously! Ok, you need more here...this will be another mini-review...but this time it's for a GOOD reason!

Background: Spider-Man. Seriously, need I say more?

Plot: Peter Parker is bit by a spider, his Uncle dies, he learns that with great power comes great responsibility...AND FIGHTS THE LIZARD!

Pros: The characters are great, the story is great, the chemistry between Peter and Gwen is great, the villain is great, the changes they made to the classic mythos is great, the pacing is great (Maybe a little TOO fast), the set up for the sequel is great...this movie is GREAT! My personal favorite thing that this movie does better than the Sam Rami trilogy is Spider-Man. In the Rami films Spider-Man doesn't quip. Confused? Well, in the comics one of Spider-man's most defining traits is the way he quips as he fights: Making fun of the villains, cracking jokes, breaking the fourth wall, ect. Well, this movie has them again, and I couldn't be happier!

Cons: Not much...it DOES leave you wanting more, but that could be good, AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THE SEQUELS! (They have announced they are...but they better follow through!) Another minor thing is that Peter is shown more than Spider-Man, but it makes sense, since this is an origin story. Uh...grasping here, but I also thought the First Person shots of Spider-Man swinging were kinda stupid (Minus the first one).

Final Word: This movie is AMAZING! (Pun intended.) Seriously, this and Avengers are so far (For me) this year's two MUST SEE movies. It is a thousand times better than the Sam Rami ones, and I loved the Sam Rami ones! Go see it!

Word of Warning: A few minor swear words are in here, violence of course, and surprisingly some blood and gore (The most disgusting is a Lizard mouse devouring a normal mouse...egh...). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Final Verdict: 10/10 (My MUST GO SEE THIS FILM IMMEDIATELY! award.)

I am The R2 Dude, and this is The R2 View!
