The Fourth Great Movie Of The Year.

I wish I could get bitten by a radioactive intelligent person.

Until then, I’ll make do with my state-school education, and you’ll just have to trust me when I highly recommend The Amazing Spider-Man.

Whereas you might think this story is past well-worn, the new version is smart and gritty and the action is really cool and not overdone. (There’s a stellar fight scene on a subway as Peter Parker discovers his new powers.) And like the comic books, Spider-Man is a total wiseass while he fights crime.

What I’m trying to say is, if you see one movie this weekend, see The Amazing Spider-Man. And if you see two movies this weekend, see The Amazing Spider-Man twice.
