Soooo... Spiderman. The Amazing Spider-Man. I just watched it today, July 1, 2012 with my boyfriend. We are ahead of USA 'cause it will be shown in there on July 3. And the movie was shown here in the Philippines last June 29, 2012. :)

Um, so... I love this movie. There are NO BORING MOMENTS, IMO. I laughed at the comedy scenes. We all laughed at it. Personally, I got teary-eyed when Uncle Ben died (This is not a spoiler since we all know that Uncle Ben is dead in the past Spider-Man), it's just sad to see Peter. Cause I think he blames himself for the death of Uncle Ben.

"You know, touching myself."
"What? You gonna tell me you're touching yourself?"
"No, of course not. I can't tell you that."

LOL! I laughed at that one. :P Okay, I'm getting side-tracked. I really don't know how to make a Movie Review. I'm not really a movie critic so I just go to what I like about it. Did I already said that I love the movie? NO? I ABSOFREAKINLUTELY LOVE THE MOVIE!

It is definitely worth your TIME and MONEY. And the title says it all. AMAZING!!! I would definitely go see it again if I have enough money. :) GO and WATCH THE MOVIE!! IT will make you laugh, get teary-eyed, it will shock you at some scenes. I almost jumped out of my seat when something came out unexpectedly. :P

So, go and watch it! Don't go downloading the movie from torrent, you should watch it first in the big screen then download the movie. ;)

Btw, the story is like Spider-Man meets Godzilla. :D

Haven't had much to do with graphic novels but this was great to kick start my way into them. I love the new Amazing Spider Man and this was really well drawn in getting the characters, plus not only was it the prequel to the film but it also had another smaller story afterwards about spiderman and the lizard. It was pretty great. I enjoyed it a lot. Plus it helped tick off the Read a Graphic Novel for my 2015 reading list. But I'm thinking I will start looking into more graphic novels and more complex ones not just comics.

This comic acts as a prelude to the Amazing Spider-Man movie, but adds nothing to it. The art is sometimes quite horrible, with Aunt May looking like a corpse that's received plastic surgery. The only reason it gets 1 star is because of the 3 issues of classic Spider-Man in the back of the book, which are amazingly inked and drawn with simple clarity. They have a charm that the prelude lacks. The prelude story is so utterly pointless, it's a wonder it was even published. I feel sorry for people who bought them with actual money.

The actual film tie-in issues (two of the five included issues) were actually fairly poor. Apparently they're based on actual cut scenes from the film, which is kind of cool, but if so it's easy to see why they were cut. The other issues though, Amazing Spider-Man #75-77, are great classics written by Stan Lee himself. They show their age a bit, but in a charming way that is still pretty readable. 2/5 for the film issues, 4/5 for the classics.

A good graphic novel, not a prelude, more like an additional few scenes set during the movie. I am going to see the movie tomorrow, looking forward to putting these scenes in context to the actual movie. The artwork is very good, also there is a classic 3 part story from Stan Lee, John Romita and Jim Mooney featuring the Lizard, which is great. A good graphic novel.....

Not a bad graphic novel, it features cut scenes set during the film, rather than an actual prelude but it gives a nice taster of what's to come. Plus it features ASM#75-77 which is a classic tale featuring The Lizard and most of the characters in the new film. It also stands as a good jumping on point for new readers, a bit of a reminder from the past for fans.

Terkandung tiga siri klasik asal oleh Stan Lee yang seterusnya menjadi inspirasi kepada filem The Amazing Spider-Man. Dengan hampir separuh naskah dimuatkan "prelude" kepada filem, evolusi grafik jelas kelihatan mengikut peredaran zaman.

The first story was written by a child. The old Stan Lee stories in the back were cool though.
