The Amazing Spider-Man May Not Be So Amazing

We were perhaps a little overly exclamatory in our review of The Amazing Spider-Man. Maybe we were clouded by our love of Emma Stone (she almost made us like Crazy Stupid Love after all), or we were too busy marveling at Andrew Garfield's gravity-defying hair (he and Ben Whishaw need to have babies).

Even worse, we still like the movie, in spite of its faults.

It's like our ugly adopted baby.
We wanted it so badly that, even when it didn't live up to expectations,
we still love it. Or, at the very least, we want to love it.
