The Amazing Spider-man is back
'The Amazing Spider-Man' comes out July 3rd and reviews for the film have been generally positive.
At the end of Spider-Man 3 we were left with an immense fatigue, and the franchise had really run out of steam with the same concepts played over and over. The Peter Parker / Mary Jane romance had been over-worked. We were tired of seeing this cliché as the driving factor to the conflicts in the last Spider-man.
The fourth reboots the franchise, with a new cast. What's particularly noteworthy is the choice of Marc Webb as director. He's a newcomer to the blockbuster filmmaking scene, and shot 'The Amazing Spider-Man' on the 3D Red EPIC.
