Here is the Spider-Man

The Spider-man Remake Review

The first Spider-man released in 2002 and the remake "Amazing Spider-Man" released in 2012. Only Ten-years time but totally different deductive method. Perhaps they are afraid of audience getting bored with the same "Spider-Man"

 In the 2002 Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire was the Actor of Peter Parker(Spider-Man). He delivered the character as a nerdy person and introverted. It makes a huge contrast with what he was for being the Spider-Man. While the 2012 Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield gave me the feeling of an more energetic teenager that was gifted with the special ability. So he was a bit humour and funny in the film. However, I still prefer the old Spider-man.

Differences and similarities

Costume

As you can see there are some differences with the costume. I do think the 2012(left) one looks better. May be they have a better costume technologies nowadays. Indeed, it doesn't have a much changes on the costume.

Abilities

The similarities of two Spider-man are they have "spider-sense" which is a kind of survival skills avoid them from getting hurt. A slight difference is that 2002 Spider-man can shoot web from his hands while the new one can shoot webs that trigger from his implanted device. Actually it makes the hero being no that superior. It was because one special feature of Spider-man is Web-Swinging and shooting, without the device he is just a sneaky spider.

Uncle Ben's Death

To fans of Spider-Man, Uncle Ben's Death is the most touching moment in two stories. And it is a must include scene for Spider-Man, otherwise it is not Spider-Man. It talks about how Peter Parker witness his Uncle being shot by a Robbery. Then he wants to revenge and become the Spider-Man. However, there is a bit different and it makes the 2002 Spider-man better is that the Peter Parker can actually stop this happened but he didn't. It makes Peter Parker in great compunction and regret. For the old Spider-Man it involved more emotion than the 2012 one.

Villain

The one on the left is Green Goblin(2002), the one on the right is The Lizard(2012). They have similarity is that their mind twisted after doing some experimental human trail which turned them into monster. However, Green Goblin in comics should be the 2nd Villain instead the 1st one in Spider-man. Therefore, it should be the Lizard. However, might be because it was hard to make a good animation for "The Lizard" Down in 2002. Therefore they switched it but still I was not too into Villain. To me it is more important on Spider-man.

Love Story

Mary Jane Watson(2002) on the left and Gwen Stacy on the right(2012).  Mary Jane had  a lot more screen time than Gwen. So Mary Jane was better fleshed out as a character. However, Gwen made a much better match for Peter and the relationship and more convincing. Actually I like the actress in 2012 than 2002, therefore I prefer Gwen instead of Mary Jane.

2002 vs 2012

They did not give a huge difference with the filming technologies. If I have to say, I prefer the 2002 Spider-Man. It was because the 2002 has more touching moment, and it delivered a message of it is not easy to be a hero and makes the Spider-Man so cool. However, if you never watch the 2002 one, I do prefer you stay on the 2012. It was because there are more amazing spider-man movies coming up and perhaps crossover with Wolverine(Marvel Super Hero). Otherwise you would have spoiled the story line.
