The Review

Hands down, this movie is one of the most memorable movie of the year.

Yes, I knew there would be comparisons between the new and the old, I knew that it would receive loads of hate and I knew people would say it's a rip-off - that didn't stop me from watching it. After I watched it, I came out really confused, why the heck did some people hate it?

Favourite part of the movie :D

I mean come on, although Maguire acted very well as spider-man in the original one, Garfield was spider-man. He was believable! He was spot on on acting like a normal yet awkward teenager - with a big secret. As Spider-man, I love how in the most serious events, he brightens it up a bit with a witty joke, which was never expressed in the original spider-man. 

Now moving on, we have the lovely female character, Gwen, played by Emma Stone.  People compare her to MJ, which I really don't see the point of. One interview said that her character falls in love with Peter Parker whilst MJ falls in love with spider-man. Plus, the chemistry between Gwen and Peter is perfect, they're both nerdy - which thank goodness they didn't make Gwen in to that elite, popular girl. Plus, what I love about her character is that people respect her, especially Peter's bully.

One thing that makes me stop and think is when Parker and his bully are in the basketball court and he owns him. Hard. 

"Wow, he just epically defied gravity and shot that ball in the hoop whilst epically breaking the glass as well. No normal teenager can do that but hey, we still think he's defiantly not spider-man"

What? WHAT?!? This scene makes me laugh every time I think about it. Plus, I love how whilst they're in the office, the principal is not concern about how he did it. 

Now to the villain. This was where it was a total let down for me. I expected it to be a Joker VS Batman kind of thing but he wasn't that memorable. 

Overall, I love the plot, I totally recommend it, it was full of action that won't bore you, and a hint of comedy.

I fell in love with it! Everything about it was perfection!
