Firstly, The amazing Spiderman, have to disagree with everybody elses reviews of this, i felt it was more disappointing in most parts. From what i was expecting from seeing the trailers was a darker version of the previous Spidermans and going back to the actual Spidey that use the web cartridges etc

So what did i get?
Spoiler:
The same story being told yet again, it was pretty much the same as Spiderman 1 except worse, The villan (The croc) just done nothing but remind me of the green goblin from the first one.
  1. Scientist desperately trying to make a break through in their field of expertise.
  2. Scientist uses himself as the human test subject in a desperate act to speed up his work process so he doesn't lose it all.
  3. Scientists test works but with drastic side effects, both of them developing a malevolent split personality, both end up arguing with themselves.


And then we have the cheese, I'm sorry but the cheese in this movie was OTT, and not in a good way, they took me out of the thrall the movie had for me to say under my breath "Ah for fook sake" and i hate when a movie does that, Thats where i think Raimi shined, his cheesey scenes/lines were bang on the nail for the spideyverse and were actually humourous in most parts.

For an example of the crap scenes im referring too, ill just say cranes....Nearly walked out of the theater at that part...

Now the one thing ill say was spot on, was the acting. Loved the whole cast pretty much except Denis Leary, i just hate that guy though, joke stealing undeserving fame mofo!

I disliked it mostly as ive seen it before, lets hope the next one sees us with new scenes and not just another rehash of the "old" Spiderman..Frankly i think they should have held off on this reboot for another 10-15 years atleast as in my opinion it took ALOT away from the movie..


Now onto my actual recommendation:

We need to talk about Kevin



Don't really wanna go into much as i don't want to give anything away, The scenes are basically memory fragments of the mother of Kevin and the difficulties she has in raising her child as he doesn't seem right to her pretty much from the get go..

Its a very moving, taught provoking film that has left me wanting to go back, which i will do soon, Amazing movie and its sad movies like this are too far and between, last movie to impact me like this was Drive and that was over a year ago o_O

Its not your typical Hollywood movie so i would recommend this movie to anybody who likes movies with a great script, actors and and a director whos not afraid to stray away from your typical movie cinematography.

I'm not into ratings so ill just give it two thumbs up!
