In this version of spiderman, it's like marvel just said screw the comics. We'll just make up a bunch of stuff. There is no Uncle Ben, and Aunt May is way to young. Peter isn't into photography. And where does Iron Man fit into a Spiderman movie. Also, since this movie is like a reboot with Peter back in high school and only 15, I would have liked to see the movie show how Peter developed his powers. The movie could have had Peter tell Ned the story of how he got spider powers in flashbacks. The story just pales in comparrison to the first Spiderman movie. I did like the Vultures costume and special effects with him. But Spiderman's suit is all gadetted out and I didn't think that ever happened.

FINAL VERDICT: Not that great compared to some of the other Spidey films. The best part about the film was the jokes.

A young Peter Parker battles the everyday problems of a teenage student, whilst his alter ego, Spiderman battles a major threat.

I am surprised to see so many one and ten star reviews for this film, I honestly don't quite see how it could create such passion for or against, for me it was a pretty decent money, but in the grand scheme of Spider man movies, many are superior, some are decidedly inferior.

I wonder if this one will be influenced by age, I think a younger audience will have more love for it, I think some mature viewers may find it a little childish at times, some of the dialogue will have you cringing.

Initially I was expecting someone to give Spiderman a little spidey dummy/pacifier, initially I found it frustrating, but I'm glad I stick with it, as it does improve. The ending is the best bit, I think you really do see Spiderman mature.

Tom Holland was very good I thought, a fine, energetic performance, the script was challenging at times.

Some nice action sequences, and a pretty good story, I did appreciate the acting of Michael Keaton, and the impact of Robert Downey Junior, I wish we'd seen more of him.

6/10.
