take down the masked vigilante, Spider-Man.
Geek Syndicate
Rhys Ifans displays enough gravitas to make us believe how conflicted he is when he starts to change from Doctor Curt Connors into the Lizard. There is even a father-son moment with Peter that just about comes off.
I can see why, as it does lend a certain grittiness to the movie. At times, CGI effects are used, but only when required. As a result, we get some great set pieces. The film would be nowhere without the help of James Horner’s musical score, which is rich and dark, with some standout moments during the final act. Horner has always been able to produce sweeping scores and here he uses that technique while SpiderMan is swinging through the city, taking the audience along for the ride. We were told to expect the “untold story of Spider-Man” and a “darker and grittier” version of the Marvel hero. This is certainly what Director Marc Webb has gone for. The untold story is a fun new twist but hardly a revelation the film holds back much of the key information about this backstory. I hope these will be addressed in the sequel as teased in the post credits scene (yes there is one). This time round Spidey is back to making his webshooters. In the film, he bases his design on Oscorp technology which had me screaming (metaphorically) “er … hello!!” If Oscorp has designed the webbing then how come no one at Oscorp takes the design in the same direction that our hero does? It seems sloppy and lazy and I wish that Peter had invented it himself from scratch. Also when Peter gets his powers he shows off in the school gym by displaying most of his powers in front of hundreds of students to embarrass the school bully. Where did that come
from? The Peter I know and love would never do that. The villain of the piece is the Lizard, which is a good choice for this new adaptation as it helps to distance it from the previous films, but at times, the CGI of the Lizard is poor and when he talks it looks awful. Some of the fight scenes, however, are seamless including one with the king of c ?????M???1????Q??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????%??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Q????????M?????5????????????????????????????????????U????????????????????????????????????????????????M?????5????%?????????????????????????????????????M?????5???????????????????????$????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????M?????5??????????????????Q???????????????????????????????$??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Q????????????????????????????????????????????????e???????????????????????A??????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????U????? ????????????????????????????????????A?????M?????5??????????????()I?????????????????????????5?????M?????????M????????????????U????? ?????????5????????????M??????????????U????? ???????????????????????????????????$???????????????????????????????????????M????????????????????????????5??$???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Q????????????????????????????????????????????????????A???A?????????????????????????????????????Q?????????????????????????5???????????????????$??????????A??????????=??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????-??????????Q?????????????????????????????????????????Y??????????I???????$?????????Y??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(??()
