I strongly believe that even people who did not have any special interest on Spiderman found the original Tobey Maguire trilogy at far more interesting than other superhero films. Why? Because simply these films (and especially 1st and 2nd) were very human-like, and especially moving! For example, who does not remember the original uncle-Ben scene?

However, this new version of the spider man story is just too flat, and too poor compared to the original. Weak performances, poor storyline and definitely a movie without any social aspect or meaning.

For me the only reason to watch this movie would be some action scenes, which however are not that impressive for 2012, and which render this film watchable for only a small minority. And I have to admit that the relatively high rating really surprises me.
