If you're hoping to be wowed with the 3D effects, you're in for a sloppy time. The 3D graphics aren't even worth talking about because, well quite frankly, they're about as effective as scrubbing off a wine stain with water. Besides that, Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker / Spiderman) completely rescued the character that Tobey Maguire almost ruined. He looks more like what Marvel had originally intended him to look and he's WAY funnier than poor old Tobes. Rhys Ifans (The Lizard / Dr. Connor) was ok but I feel he's more suited for the comedic genre he fell into way back with Notting Hill and The Replacements. Emma Stone (Gwen Stacey) was great and the chemistry between her's and Garfield's character was terrific. So much so that they started dating whilst shooting! Both actors were perfectly cast. Big kudo's to fairly new film director, Marc Webb (yes, that is in fact his real surname), as he ensured his audience's captivation with amazing point of view shots through the eyes of Spidey himself as he leaps tall buildings in a single bound and (oh, wait that's Superman), as he runs along walls and flies through the air shooting another web from his homemade device. All in all, a worthwhile trip out to the movies and in my opinion the best Spiderman movie to date. Expect a sequel...
