The Amazing Peter Parker.

so i finally watched this movie.

SUMMARY(EQUIVALENT OF A MILLION SPOILERS BUT REALLY WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS ALREADY?!)

(well... except me because i refuse to watch it for some maniacal reason.)

(moving on.)

so the summary of this entire movie? 

it should be entitled The Amazing Peter Parker instead of The Amazing Spider-man. 

aside from the glorious Andrew Garfield butt-appreciation everywhere in the movie, and Emma Stone's goddess-like beauty, intelligence and most of all, wit, the movie is about Peter Parker. to me, it is not about Peter Parker's dear Uncle Ben getting shot, dying, then him realizing that responsibility is something he has been missing out on and he should use his powers(from being bitten by a new species of spider) to do good and save some people. it is not about that. throughout the entire movie, i only saw Peter Parker. 

Peter Parker being a dork; Peter Parker being a super-intelligent high school kid; Peter Parker being intensively and effectively funny; Peter Parker being himself. 

in the Tobey Maguire version of Spider-man(what are you talking about, OF COURSE we're going to compare these two franchises), he actually made me feel like there was a change in Peter Parker, and when he put on that suit, he was Spider-man and no one else. i know it's a very vague feeling to describe, but to me it is simply like that. 

however, i did enjoy the Andrew Garfield version, because it was funny and although there were parts that needed some explaining to do, most parts seemed logical to me, and that was good. that was what i was looking for. something realistic but still obviously impossible. like how he actually needed things to swing on and did not just spray his spider-web into the sky(AND LITERALLY NOTHING) then swinging to wherever he pleases. 

Andrew Garfield portrayed a much more child-like, wild Peter Parker compared to the Tobey Maguire version, where he is more reserved and shy. personally i like the Andrew Garfield version better, but i think Tobey Maguire was a better Spider-man. confusing, i know. i apologize.

the best part about this movie? is that Emma Stone played a smart heroine/lead female role for the first time, perhaps, in comic-movies history. 

finally, have a really bad drawing of Gwen Stacy done by yours truly.

i wanted to write a longer review but it's getting late and i'm getting sleepy.

so good night.
