THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN review

all i can say is it's totally different from Tobey Maguire's first movie. approach is even younger and it's much more closer to the comic version. in addition to that, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's real life romantic factor makes it the best romantic superhero movie ever!

director Marc Webb has really made effort to bring back Spider-Man's glory to all his fans from the previous franchise which features Tobey Maguire. i admit that that series gets more and more disappointing. trailers really rose anticipation about the villains, but when you see the movie, it would suck.

Peter Parker's curiosity is very much expressed in this movie as he was portrayed as a nerdy student. it seems like he was very much impressed to himself and does anything he thinks he can do. and as Spider-Man is very much mutant in the previous movies, Peter Parker' webs are from a wrist band.

action moves are really fast and very clean. except for that emotional scene where Spider-Man was trying to swing from crane to crane with the help of the operators which looked kinda awkward. it makes me cringe. i think the drama is not needed there.

you will really anticipate a sequel in this one. and i wonder who will be Mary Jane since Emma Stone might be out of the picture. or will it focus on Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane's cat fight over Peter? who knows, it would be very exciting. haha

The Amazing Spider-Man now crawls in theaters by Sony Pictures.

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS character posters

when i saw the trailer of this new animated film from Dreamworks, i remembered all the legends and stories from childhood that i once believed. and this movie Rise of the Guardians will make us believe more of the legends and what they can really do. i was ecstatic to see how Santa, the Toothfairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman will reunite in one adventure that the young and the young-at-heart should not miss.

meet the characters of this exciting family film:

North and E. Aster Bunnymund

derived from religious beliefs, North, or as we call him Santa Claus, leads the pack of the legends. he lives in the North Pole and as the saying goes, he knows whether the kid is naughty or nice. he is dubbed by Alec Baldwin. E. Aster Bunnymund, voiced-over by Hugh Jackman, is present in the egg-hunting occasions and giving surprises in those colorful eggs.

the Sandman and Tooth

these two characters mostly work on our sleep. the Sandman, the only character who doesn't talk in the movie. he does his work through sand creating possibilities. some say that his sand puts back time or anyone to sleep. Tooth, or the toothfairy, collects fallen teeth from children and gives them a dime or a coin in exchange of it. Isla Fisher dubs Tooth in this film.

Jack Frost and Pitch

our white and black characters, Jack Frost (Chris Pine) and Pitch (Jude Law). Jack Frost, as legend says, is responsible for the chilly winter. he pinches on noses and toes giving them frost bites and makes them red or blue. Pitch, as our antagonist here in the movie, wants to rule over the world. taking all the children's dreams away and replacing them with fear. now it's our heroes' task to reverse Pitch's plan and bring the happy dreams alive again.

the Rise of the Guardians will be in theaters starting November 21, 2012. directed by Peter Ramsey under Dreamworks Pictures. available in 2D and 3D formats.
