Nah bruh, but if you want to debate the point, I'm more than happy to be convinced otherwise.
le go
1.) This film butchered Peter and I blame the writing. Comic Peter, in general, is a mocked, prideful teenaged genius turned accidental superhero who learns about responsibility the hard way. Raimi's Peter is a pushover/nobody nerd who turns into a superhero after learning to never put the puss over the fam. Webb's Peter is a
loner genius slacker rebel without a cause angst teenager who the audience never really gets to understand.
Regardless of how much Garfield tries, Peter is written to completely unlikable in everything he does minus the bridge scene. He's practically a Mary Sue ala Twilight's Bella. We're given no reason why anyone would like Peter yet Gwen falls for him from the get. Not to mention, Pete breaking into private labs for shyts and giggles....screwing some intern out of a future for shyts and giggles...Lying to a dying man...Then theres how he handles Ben's death, ignores/disrespects his Aunt and Uncle repeatedly. Also without the wrestling bits, why does Pete design a Spider costume? Oh cuz he fell in a luchador wrestling gym and likededededed it
2.) Ben's dead is fail. Peter's whole motivation for fighting crime and not living the life with his new found powers is because his actions lead to Ben's death. Amazing Spiderman robs Peter of that. Ben's death ends up being entirely Ben's fault. Raimi's film had enough sense to put Pete in a position where his pride lead directly to criminal killing his Uncle. Webb's Peter flatout says "lol its not my problem" not spite the store owner like Raimi's Pete did, he lets the guy go because he truly is a dikk. Even when Ben is bleeding out on the ground, Pete yells to someone to call the ambulance....this a$$hole was just on his cellphone the scene before.
3.) Oscorp was no different than in Raimi's film only Norman was absent. A generic big bad Corporation.
4.) Pete donned the costume out of revenge on some Batman shyt. He never considered being a hero until the Bridge scene and even then his only goal was stopping the lizard. Haphazardly stumbling into a iconic character is lame.
5.) Half this film wasnt even flim in NYC and what was filmed was done in the dark or the gutta places.
6.) Flash was a generic "im better than you" jock who existence lead to Peter's transition to Spiderman in Raimi's film. Flash in Webb's film goes from a bully to a victim to a BFF yet still manages to be unimportant to the story. Take him out and not a damn thing changes.
7.) As for Goblin > Lizard
Lets see
Costume: Goblin - Power Ranger Lizard- Super mario Goomba
Character: Goblin - Hyde wannabe via lab experiment gone wrong with plans of domination because he's Superior to everyone else
Lizard - Hyde wannabe via lab experiment gone wrong with pl.......
Writing: Goblin - Norman slowly going mad was great. His relationship with Peter and Harry was believable and the cat and mouse he played suspenseful
Lizard - See Doc. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Kurt has almost no personality because the writers didnt do shyt for him. He pops up for 2 minutes at a time to remind us there's a bad guy in this film. Kurt's ties to Peter is extremely contrived also as is Pete's backstory
Amazing Spiderman is a lazy mediocre film. They only thing it has going for it
