This Tue July third. Our beloved Spider-Man franchise is getting (because of SpiderMAN 3) a much needed reboot. Starring Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone, I was surprised to see Martin Sheen & Sally Fields portraying Peter's legal guardians; Uncle Ben and Aunt May.This is not the Peter Parker of yester-year. Spidey's got a brand new bag. One of the revamps to be appreciated is the more accurate portrayal of Peter Parker.
Petey is a smart kid. But he doesn't know everything. And even though he wasn't built like an athlete or anything, he still wasn't a punk. And Spider-man is a super Hero, but at the same time he was still human. He limps. He bruises. So that was definitely an interesting. I can't count how many times I've asked myself about a Hero. Having super skin. This ain't Superman we're discussing. When you get hit, why wouldn't you get a black eye for it?
One theme that remains unchanged is RESPONSIBILITY. Toby's rendition included the line "With great -power, comes great responsibility". In this update its more of an underlying theme throughout the whole picture. Which starts out because Peter is a teenager, therefore he's irresponsible. But later translates into he accidently creates the Lizard. So he has the responsibility if righting that wrong. Not that he wanted to take matters into his own hands. He even went to the cops in hopes they could handle it. Of course they couldn't. Big surprise. And guess who was there to save the day. Hint: No it wasn't Mighty Mouse.
Why go see this movie? Its Effn all that! A brand new spider. With a whole new attitude. He's agile, nimble. And he MADE HIS WEB-SHOOTERS! In case the last incarnation misled you. Spider-man has NEVER generated webs out of his body/wrists. That was not accurate. He home-made web-shooters, which take replaceable web cartridges. But I digress. I already can't wait for the sequel.
Go see Spider-Man
