As promised...
The Amazing Spider-Man presents a significant question: just when do you "reboot" an existing franchise, in particular a successful one like the Sam Raimi-helmed Spidey trilogy? There's no dancing around the issue, unlike the "not really an Alien prequel" business with Prometheus - so, how does this movie fit, if at all...
( Could include SPOILERS... )
The Amazing Spider-Verdict... A brave effort, which may just lead to more satisfying future films, but this definitely falls into third place in the rankings of Spider-movies as it stumbles over some self-imposed pitfalls... 7.5/10
Elsewhat... Bad luck, Andy Murray.
