This movie will probably surprise a lot of people who were obviously scorned by Spiderman 3. granted, this new take has nothing to do with the past series. at a pretty moderate pace, Spiderman doesn't dwell too long on the origin we alllll know too well but it does put a slightly more in-depth look at how things came to be. the story line is solid though there are times where it seems as if some scenes were skipped or rushed, the action needless to say was "amazing". very creative uses of web-slinging throughout and clear shots of the battles made for a great treat. its pretty clear why the sequel was already greenlit well before this even dropped. all should enjoy the ride, if not for the action itself then for the on-screen chemistry brought well by Stone and Garfield.

this is one of those movies that actually has a LOT more potential than given. if done in a different manner this would have made an excellent who-dunnit flick. from the start the movie opens up fairly solid, the initial transformation into human form was actually good. the following transitions into snake form...not so much, but thats more so if you're lookin for uber perfect FX. the storyline unfolds at a decent pace but manages to keep ya glued. is this worth multiple viewings, no, but its not so bad to give a good viewing once.

our main character does a pretty superb job at portraying a snake in human form. u really get the sense that she took the time to study her role in depth. the "villain" of the film is a tad annoying...you'll wish him long gone within his first few lines but be happy to see him get his in the end.

again, the movie isn't perfect, nor could it have been but its fairly enjoyable for what its worth.
