He was limping. After he swung from the cranes he webbed up his leg and was back to normal.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
That scene is the worst stinger of all time. I mean, it really told you nothing, other then there will be more Spider-Man movies.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Just got back from seeing it...not that impressed. I'm not a huge Spidey fan so I just observe it as a comic movie without bias. I've got several complaints and some kudos for the movie. Too early to talk about those I guess. I'd give the movie 6/10

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Reason why i felt the movie was horrible. Very VAGUE thoughts no need to go analytical
1. Felt too rushed
2. Action scenes: ohhh yeah here it comes AND !!!!!! then it stops too fast...picked up a little bit towards the end
3. THE SCORE!!! what happened!!!
4. I saw more web swinging than action!!!
5 I saw lizard man inject himself more times than action!!!
6.Didnt even find the guy who shot BEN!!! what happened there
7.Too many scenes were just put in there for no reason.
8.Lizardman, yeah man let me infect the city....OH YEAH THIS IS WHERE SPIDERMAN FIGHTS ALL THESE LIZARDS.....NOPE YOUR WRONG HELLZ MANIK, THEY WERE CURED BEFORE HE COULD DO THAT...dam
9. MAN THIS IS THE SCENE WHERE LIZARD MAN FIGHTS HIM ON THE BRIDGE, CANT WAIT, HERE IT COMES... oh wait he has to save a kid from a burning car HELLZ MANIK!!
10. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF.... WHY THE REBOOT!!!! TOO MUCH ROMANCE WITH THAT CHICK HE LIKES....LETS SWING TOGETHER ACROSS THE CITY LIKE TWILIGHT!. i would rather jump off the empire state building and land my head on a thumbtac
11. i know whats going to happen, the public will like one particular scene from the movie and think wow WHAT A MOVIE...then we get two or three horrible movies just like transformers.
well those are my very vague thoughts and yeah people left the theatre around me.......well on to the next one!

Makes sense. I guess they decided to milk the untold story across the next few films.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Just saw this a little while ago. Right now i judge it to be the best spider-man movie so far and amongst if not the best superhero movie yet.
To me it encaptulates everything a superhero movie should be and everything a perfect spider-man movie should have... pain, loss, heroism, love, courage, romance, suffering, comedy, action, a kick ass costume, friendship, responsibility & a badass villain.
i still like the previous films, and am a huge spidey fan, but this film does everthing those films did right and does everything right that those films did wrong. from webshooters, to the way Spidey moves, to his pain and loss, it handles all the elements in perfect balance.
i understand and agree with the AICN reviewew who said this film handles relationships better than all other superhero films as this is a film that has a superb supporting cast and the relationships and hardships touch you as they are more relatable.
Near enough everything is a PRO from me, there are one or two things that could've been different for the better, but very few.
VERDICT:
10/10
Best Spider-Man film (to me) and my favourite superhero movie at this moment (i'm still hyped), near enough everything worked and fell into place with perfection, can't wait to see it again and the sequels

STORY
I knew i loved this film before Spider-Man even showed up, as it handled the story of Peter Parker and his friends and loverones so brillaintly. "The Untold Story" remains untold but it's seeds have been planted and there is an air of mystery surround Peter, his powers (why he survived when others didn't) and his Father.
The surprise and struggle to understand and control his new abilites provided great comedic and strugglesome moments, those were definatley a highlight.
Three people knew his identity, one he told, one found out and one he told. This worked well, it's no les that some other superheroes and was very plausible how it all came about.
As for the mask coming off there was only one scene where it didn't feel right, that was where he was walking throough the High School as Spider-man without his mask looking for Lizard, any lingerin studen or teacher could've seen him. all other times where where people couldn't seee his face or that scene with the kid to help him
When Uncle Ben died i saw it coming, probably everyone familiar with Spider-Man saw it coming but even though it wasn't a surprise it still shocked, I was very saddened at the death of Captain Stacy too as i loved his character and wished him to remain for the sequel, in fact these are one of the best things about this film is delivers on the great contradiction of Spider-Man, being Spider-Man means personal loss and death for Peter's loved ones, it's the price he pays. one of the other key things that made this film so good and well made was the supporting cast and characters...
CHARACTERS
Andrew Garfield IS Peter Parker, where as Tobey played Peter as a throwback to the '60s gee-wiz aww-shucks Peter, Garfield is a modern more streetwise version of Peter.
Spider-Man is a different character to Peter, not just in costume but in attitude, handled excellently, the way he moves is like the train sequence from SM2 just all the time. He is not invincble, he takes his licks and carries on. THIS is what makes him a hero, the persisttance, Spider-Man didn't emerge in this film truly until after he saved that kid and realized that if he weren't there that kid would've died, This is the moment that Peter gave birth to a character and job that would change his life forever.
Lizard, Lizard to me has been the second best Spider-Man villain on the big screen after Doc Ock. his design was great, the only thing not amazing was his face, but i don't think it could've gone too much diffrent either way and still worked, i'd have like his voice to be deeper and more different than Connors. i LOVED his plan, ti's such a comic book villain plan, to transform everyone to a creatue like him could've and maybe was (not sure) lifted straight out of the comics.
Uncle Ben was very funny and Sheen played him brilliantly.
Aunt May's concern for Peter was another plus and Sally Field did a great Job with this role.
Gwen's burgeoning love for Peter as the film progressed was enjoyable and she wasn't just there to be captured and bait for Spider-Man, annother plus.
Rhys Ifans played the egotisical scientist turned mad scientist brilliantly.
Captain Stacy played the hard-nosed cop out to get Spider-man with ease and although this changed when Peter revealed himslef to be Spider-Man it made me love his character for the realism of the dramatic change one would have if they found out someone they knew or cared about was in the frame.
Even Flash was handled excellently as the bully turned friend with a Spidey fanboy emerging.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Well, to me, there was enough Amazing, and if you are gonna name a movie after a specific comic it sure as hell better have aspects of said comic in it. To me were there enough aspects of the Amazing Spider-Man in this movie? No. That holds it back for me. It was a good super-hero movie but not as good as say Spidey 2. Thats just how I see it. If you are saying that they had no choice but to call this movie Amazing Spider-Man than my response would be they aren't thinking hard enough.
Probably the best name for this movie would be Peter Parker: the Ultimate Spider-Man. It would describe the actual film a little better and open the door to the fact that there were so many plot points dealing with his father and the disappearance of his family. To me they over shadowed the Spider-Man aspect of this film. I always thought that the storyline with the mystery surrounding Peter's parents was a very weak one.
It was like making an Incredible Hulk movie and making it more about the relationship with his father than actually being the character in the title.
Oh well. Maybe a sequel will restore my faith. Oh, and a better score. We shall see.

The score wasn't bad i'm not a score connoisseur but alot of the music was done to build suspense and worked for me, i got goosebumps as the score swelled when the cranes lined up for him and he started running.

Was listening to the score on spotify earlier, the first title track has so much promise but it never builds to anything memorable.

Thanks, i am hyping so much right now, but this is a near perfect balance of everything i love about superheroes, so i couldn't be more satisfied with this film.

Good review Nova. I put this up there with IM 1, original Superman, and Avengers on my top of comic movies.

Yeah, but he knocked it out of the park with ALIENS. Though I can't recall anything good from him since.
