The Amazing Spider Man

As I recently said, I really liked the casting of the 2002-2007 Spider Man trilogy.  They weren't the best films, no, but the actors fit their roles so very well.  That already puts me off such a sudden reboot into new players in an alternate storyline.

Then there's the new Peter Parker himself.  I dunno about this kid who likes to shake his head side-to-side with his mouth partially open.  Did he do that once in high school drama class and his teacher said it "carried his emotion well", so he just keeps doing it as his only acting skill?  I swear he strikes that same pose a half dozen times in this movie.

I guess they're trying to write a better story, but they've mucked it up with the casting.  Sorry.  Reboot it again.
