Now, 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is a different comic book series than Spider-man, with a slightly different origin story. In this case, however, it just seems like they were trying to fool us into thinking it was a different movie. "No, everyone. This isn't the Spider-man you've already seen three of. This is the AMAZING Spider-man... please buy tickets. We spent a lot on this movie."
Andrew Garfield was a great choice for Spider-man, but ultimately it's just the same origin story all over again with a few changes. I was instantly bored just because I knew what scene was going to happen next. Hell, even in the original Spider-man I had that feeling. Go on and surprise us, people! We all know how Jesus was born, and how he died. We want to find out what happened in the middle. Get the analogy?
