It’s graduation day as well, and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) is number one in her class as Parker is trying to get to his own graduation to see her speech and walk across the stage an accept his diploma. Webb uses his camera so gracefully and perfectly that I could literally spend hours on end swinging with Spidey through the city. Then we are off swinging through the city with Spider-Man as he is trying to stop a mad man (Paul Giamatti) who is in a large truck full of some chemical, plowing through cars and people, evading the cops. This sequel starts off with a flashback that shows us what actually happened to Peter Parker’s parents and why they left him with his aunt and uncle, which is very similar to the opening of ‘ The Dark Knight Rises‘.
The results are highly entertaining and almost perfectly done. Luckily for all of us, Webb has done an outstanding job, concocting the story lines to produce a forward moving and fluid pace and story arc. Several directors have tried this before and have failed miserably. It seems like a lot of story line and character development to fit in the span of a couple of hours. But what got me nervous about this sequel is that when the trailers started airing, we saw bit by bit that there was going to be not one, not two, but three villains. And while I will always love Raimi’s first two Spider-Man films, possibly because they have Bruce Campbell in them, I will always resort to these new ones, because they’re just that much more fun and better made. Garfield brought multiple layers and likability to the Peter Parker/Spider-Man character that Tobey Maguire never did. The story was spot on, the script was solid, and the acting by everyone involved was terrific. Needless to say, director Marc Webb and actor Andrew Garfield did a phenomenal job with their version of the web-slinger. And I felt that it needed a reboot since the third Spidey film was one of the worst movies ever made. I am a huge fan of the first film that came out a couple of years ago and thought that it was a solid reboot, even better than the original one from Sam Raimi. I was half nervous and half excited for this sequel to one of my favorite superheroes to be released onto the world.
