Kritikerna gillar Spider-Man

Nya Spindelmannen-rullen The Amazing Spider-Man går upp på svenska biografer idag, om jag inte är ute och cyklar. Eller ja, inte bara på svenska. Det är världspremiär ikväll. Efterlängtad sådan. Jag har kikat lite närmare på vad främst de amerikanska tidningar tycker om re-booten av Marvels klängiga klätterponke.

Chicago Sun-Times (9/10)
This is a more thoughtful film, and its action scenes are easier to follow in space and time. If we didn't really need to be told Spidey's origin story again, at least it's done with more detail.

Entertainment Weekly (9/10)
What's most amazing in The Amazing Spider-Man turns out to be not the shared sensations of blockbuster.

Variety (8/10)
A mostly slick, entertaining and emotionally involving recombination of fresh and familiar elements.

The Hollywood Reporter (8/10)
While the two leads deliver the goods and manage to combine a frisky sense of first love with the movie's gloomier arc, they are well-served by a terrific supporting cast.

USA Today (8/10)
As a new chapter in the superpowered arachnid saga, it stands on its own quite nicely, focusing more on human emotions than on a panoply of special effects.

Empire (6/10)
Graced with great performances from Garfield and Stone, The Amazing Spider-Man is a rare comic-book flick that is better at examining relationships than superheroism.

Så! Ska du kika på den ikväll?
