The new Spider-Man film seems to be gathering good reviews, which is something of a relief. The original Sam Raimi-directed trilogy ended on a bit of a low note, becoming too camp and busy for its own good, so it's good to see the series being revived and taken in a different direction, focusing on Peter Parker's student years.
In a world where re-boots and re-imaginings are all the rage, it was inevitable that this particular multi-billion dollar franchise would be at the top of the list. It doesn't hurt that donning the web-slinger's costume is Andrew Garfield, one of the freshest new talents of recent years. Maybe it won't quite match up to The Avengers phenomenon but it should do well.
And given how Hollywood likes its films to come in threes nowadays, expect to see some sequels announced very soon...
