| Andrew Garfield as Spider Man |
This version begins a
new series of Spider Man movies by explaining the beginnings of the Peter
Parker story and how he became Spider Man. The original trio of Sam Raimi as
the film’s director, Tobey Maguire as Spiderman and Kirsten Dunst as his
girlfriend Mary Jane Watson all left
the franchise while the fourth film was in negotiations.

Raimi reportedly
wanted 300 million to shoot needed sets for battle scenes but Sony
reportedly only appropriated a measly 230 million. While Maguire reportedly
didn’t want to go back to high school as the script called for.

Sony and Marvel
obviously were headed in a new direction and it seems to have worked.
The new
story line is good, the action riveting and the aerial photography is breath
taking! This one is a winner!
****Excellent (Ride In The Front 1st Class)!
