It is in his lab, where he studies the possibility of coupling between human and animal cells, that Peter is bitten by a spider and finds himself with a new and extraordinary powers.
In the difficult task of Marc Webb reboot of a film product which we were fully satisfied, thanks to the recent trilogy Raimi: useless get to make an impression, difficult to avoid overlapping, since the common text. What to do? Perhaps the answer lies in the poster of Einstein, who stands at the home of Peter Parker and bears the famous phrase that "imagination is more important than knowledge." It does not matter, Webb seems to say, if history is known, you can still reinvent everything. Towards the end of the film will return to this concept, during a school lesson, when will endeavor to remember that there are those who maintain that the world has only ten stories, but maybe there is even only one, which coincides with the question of identity: who I am. Webb and screenwriters imagine, therefore, a different Peter, no longer an outsider but a rebel, almost a snob in the grass, which is not bitten by accident but goes on its own initiative where the impossible can happen, almost sperandolo, and does not fear its transformation, but it is immediately satisfied and aware. There are nuances because redefine the identity of the protagonist actually redraw the picture completely.
Romance, appearance and playful imagery printed films Raimi (in the sense of the Charter of comics but also the photographic and newspaper) is replaced by a vision actualized, less tormented but more realistic, whose imaginary reference is exclusively film and even retro. Unfortunately, the visual ideas are scarce, except for the passage perhaps intentionally ridiculous by the scales of sea bass skin Lizard, the giant destroyer, or the scene dell'infilata crane, which would make sense to 3D, but put aside any comparison with past or there is no exit from the spiral lines of misleading (and something there, a party responsible, such as "is not a choice, it is a responsibility" in replacement of "great power, great responsibility").
Amazing is a big word that does not fit the film in question, but Spider-Man has had many lives and his tour in the red and blue tights, after all, even if it is deserved Andrew Garfield.
