The Amazing Spider-Man - 8/10
Release: 2012 - Action | Fantasy | Thriller
- Actually i like the actors better in the original series (2002+). But the plot is much better and more realistic in this version, which makes it just a 0.5 better in my opinion.
+1 on that, I was so happy to see artificial web fluid back, with such a change that I couldn't help but enjoy. Death is important with any hero story, sad to see so many stories stray from it. If you like Andrew Garfield's performance, "Boy A" is worth a view-(didn't see it on your list) though I warn you that his emotion on demand, while excellently performed, starts to look painfully similar when you compare his movies.
Total agreement on The Prestige as well, first film to blow my mind and force me to watch it again as soon as it ended (and the last film to hit me in this manner). Granted with any list of favorites, people will always have their own opinion and own taste. I disagree with a few, then agree with most, and the selection that I haven't seen really make me want to expand my own collection. And I'll agree with a previous comment on checking out the classics. Some are a bore and many are terribly over acted, but the gems in between really change your views on the whole film business. Was a different time back then, and a different art. I'm slowly starting to appreciate these, once a week though as to not become a time traveller.
Any interest in Cloud Atlas by chance?
