The fact that this movie was not a complete disaster is an accomplishment in itself.
After a widely despised existence from conception to post-production, The Amazing Spider-Man ends up being a faithful and surprisingly enjoyable re-imagining of the franchise that Sam Raimi has defined in the last decade. A strong cast, streamlined plot and pure summer popcorn enjoyment all come together to make one of the better movies in 2012, although it is very unlikely that this film will be as widely loved and revered as the original trilogy due to the redundant plot.
