The Amazing Spider-Man

Speaking of spider-bites, my review of The Amazing Spider-Man will be posted on the Media Matters - Third Way Cafe website next Friday (July 13). In the meantime, let me just say that while this was not a great film, I was very impressed with the dramatic tone of the first half of the film (i.e. limited action or silliness) and I think it may be my favourite Marvel superhero film since Spider-Man 2 in 2004. It gets ***+. My mug is up.
