The pillars of the story "The Amazing Spider-Man" remain the same - radioactive spider, Uncle Ben, crime - fighting begins. However, this flim finds different, interesting colours for the same panels. Raimi details Peter's growing awareness of his Spider-sense in a single camera move. He who fiddled with the character mythology by making parker's webbing an organic bi-product of his mulated biology may be a return to tradition. However, it is also an attempt to dramatically demonstrate Peter's smartnees.
In this movie, Garfields Parker is still your stereotypical nerd. He gets hit in the face by basketballs, can't get to his locker for snogging couples and has a solved Rubik's Cube in his bedroom. Only this time he has mad skateboard skills and good hair.
Yet as the action increases, the spectacle becomess less impressive. It also doesn't help that Webb is perhaps too hip to commit to some of the corniness inherent. There is a late in the day episode where the city pulls together to help our hero that should get you on your feet cheering.
