This was a tragedy, Sony showed a lack of understanding of the colourful world and challenging world of a fresh faced teen, witty Peter Parker

The world created in this vision would have been better suited to Batman or Punisher.

The witty lines were just not there the movie took its self far too seriously removing goofs and humour that were evident from comics, and I'm afraid comics do matter because that's where Spiderman's. Even though the portrayal of Spiderman was broken in this version, here are some pluses, lizard man was done well and the suit was ok, but looked a bit grimey instead of vibrant, the movie depresses.
