This version can be summed up like a joke about 9/11, "Too Soon?" I'm a HUGE fan of superhero movies and even cartoons, and even thought I couldn't get enough of them, until now. Iron Man was awesome, Iron Man II though, ugh, just okay. "The Avengers" was AWESOME, and "The Amazing Spiderman" just okay. Producers of this movie didn't learn from "The Return of Superman" about how NOT to make a super hero movie, really how to make ANY movie. Shouldn't a movie have a decent story? Is that so much to ask? Sure, you throw in some young good looking people (Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone), and then balance it with some older talented ones (Martin Sheen, Sally Field) and there's your cast boy, well lets add some CGI, and a romance that NO ONE CARES ABOUT! After putting these things together, they think they have a movie. Well, I guess they do. I guess people will pay to see it, like I did. Well, if you are bored, and you like action, and a quickly thrown together sketch of how Peter Parker became Spiderman, go see this. For my money though, Spider Man II, Iron Man, and The Avengers are light years beyond this endeavor.
