"Well then...where is he! How dare you!"<br />[End Spoiler]<br /><br />The moment was genuine and heart ripping. Peter's engagements with father figures in this film are a spectacle well worth watching. Waiting for this film on the TV is a travesty. Watching it on a screener is a joke.<br /><br />This is why films are made. The Amazing Spider-Man was the best superhero movie I have seen in some time...at least since the first Iron Man movie.<br /><br />Raimi's Spider-Man movies were perfect adaptations of the comic books to the big screen, and they will always hold a place in my heart. Raimi perfected the skills he practiced in Darkman.<br /><br />Webb's Spider-Man is a drama with super powers. It works on so many levels.Christian Lindkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381310217234123318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896069787782846811.post-54904019751853099352012-07-05T07:55:34.455-07:002012-07-05T07:55:34.455-07:00Superman, Batman.... both also orphans who lost pa...Superman, Batman.... both also orphans who lost parents to tragedy.<br /><br />At any rate, either the director or the studio decided that the pretentious stuff was best left for the press and not the rubes. There were a lot of significant changes between the making of the trailer and the release of the film... The LAT explains:<br /><br />The trailer (you can check it out below) starts with a Garfield voiceover in which he says his character's goal is finding out the truth about his parents. But that voiceover is absent in the film.<br /><br />Meanwhile, at the 1:30 mark of the trailer, Connors says, "If you want to know the truth about your parents Peter, come and get it." That's not in the film, either.<br /><br />http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-the-amazing-spiderman-20120704,0,3022455.storyTulkinghornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380273659057130770noreply@blogger.com
