The Amazing Spiderman is about a boy, Peter Parker, who is abandoned by his parents at a young age. After he is abandoned he lives with his Aunt and Uncle. One day Peter finds an old box full of his fathers scientific notes. The notes lead him to a large research center in the city; he heads there one day after school. He is looking for Doctor Connors who was mentioned in the notes. When he has no luck finding the Doctor he starts to look around the building. He comes across a dark room full of hundreds of spiders. He accidentally hits a lever that releases the spiders from their webs. The spiders fall onto his hair and clothing, so he leaves the room. Once he has left the room one spider, that he did not notice, is still on his clothing. This spider bites him giving him supernatural abilities. He uses these abilities to fight crime.
I'll start with what I liked about the movie. I thought Peter's challenges that he faced, when trying to control his new abilities, added depth to the movie. It made the character much more relatable. He felt relatable because I go through challenges on a daily basis. My challenges are not quite to the extreme that Peters are, but they are still challenges. In the other Marvel superhero movies, the characters did not face many challenges. Which was unrealistic because if you suddenly had new abilities, it would be hard to control them. But, there were no challenges shown in the movies. A good amount of The Amazing Spiderman is Peter trying to control his abilities; this was very enjoyable.
The only thing I did not like about the film was the length. It took too long for Peter to defeat the villain. He was still learning to control his new abilities, but he took too much time to defeat the villain. I think this movie could have been shortened by at least 30-45 minutes. If the film had been shortened, it would have kept my attention.
I really enjoyed this movie and hope you watch it!! Talk to you next week! :)
