Last week we went to see Prometheus and this week we got tickets for the <a title="Amazing Spiderman" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/" target="_blank">Amazing Spider-Man</a>. Jane has always been a great fan of Marvel comic superheroes ever since she was at college and she particularly likes Spiderman because of his ability to trapeze through the air, like flying, but not. I'm not such a great fan but it's reasonable sci-fi and I just like immersing myself in films, whateve the content.

I did think this would be a follow-on to the previous films but it is in fact a remake of the film made ten years ago and of course it was in 3D. The story was well trodden and so few surprises. The special effects were excellent however I'm not sure the 3D part was as effective as it could have been and really only became "in your face" in the last 15 minutes of the film. Overall I enjoyed it but was a little disappointed that it wasn't an extension to the previous films.
