THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN may not have failed as epically as Raimi’s third, but it’s bad… it’s really, really bad… from its unnecessary need to tell a retooled origin story of Spider-Man to its incredibly off-base interpretation of Peter Parker’s internal struggles to the sheer fact that it’s tone deaf about what a Spider-Man movie should be. Sadly, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has gotten caught up in a movie with an enormous web of problems.
For the first 45 minutes of the film, there’s a sense of déjà vu to everything you’re seeing… probably because you’ve already seen this part of Spider-Man’s tale told just 10 years prior. It feels so paint-by-numbers .
Starting with Peter Parker already in full-blown Spider-Man mode may have been a wiser choice, because it capitalizes on the unfulfilled desire to see the Lizard right away rather than making us sit through an all too familiar History of Spidey segment that lacks spark.
Pros great actors
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the better films of the summer

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is a franchise film that doesn't act like one. It respects and pays tribute to its legacy and its fans without pandering to them or dumbing down its story. Above all else, the film is magnificently entertaining, with a couple of great action sequences and smart ideas across the board.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
