Watching the latest Spiderman movie...

Got to watch the latest Spiderman movie and it was definitely a different from previous Spiderman movies which I think was to appeal to this generation of teens and die-hard Marvel comic book fans. I thought it definitely was in line with the Marvel franchise and storylines and neat to know that it might continue to other sequels in the future.

I still remember the 1980s, first spiderman movie that came out in that I thought it wasn't as good as I had pictured it especially in that the movie technology at that time didn't show him to have a lot of superpowers at the time. Compared to that earlier version, this spiderman was definitely high tech.

It was also interesting in that it didn't give the backstory of how Spiderman came to be for viewers and assumed that people would already know of how he got bitten by some mutated spider which came him the powers in the first place but it also didn't explain why he was living with his auntie.

All in all, I think it would appeal to a teenage audience in the way that they portrayed Spiderman more as a teenager who was learning how to use his powers and what some of his querks might be. Another interesting part was bringing together the villain of the story as the father of his prom date very unexpected but a good turn of events.

A highly recommended movie for teens who like action with an underdog story...
