Finally, after 5 long years, years
filled with subpar films such as The Dark Knight or The Avengers, years filled
with the dullest films to come along in years like Super 8, Star Trek, or even
Captain America, we finally have a Spiderman film. Those dark days of waiting
to see our friendly neighborhood webslinger finally get the big screen
treatment is over. 2012 will be long remembered for bringing us exactly what we
were all calling for: The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. And shoved right
in between these two, amongst the rest of the summer releases, is Spiderman.
The Amazing Spiderman is not a bad
film, it's just not a great film and it is certainly not a film we needed. You
see, the main problem was the exact thing that I was mostly worried about and (if
you were unlucky to hear me talk about it in person) I've been vocalizing for
months. It is yet another retelling of Spiderman. Yes, kiddos, we get to see
how Spiderman became Spiderman. Again.
