To those wondering about the ways of the “Web-Slinger,” I apologize for the Kanye style interruption by the sports nerd in me. THE HAWKS TRADED JOE JOHNSON’S CONTRACT AND MARVIN WILLIAMS!!!! Danny Ferry, new general manager of my beloved Hawks, has cleared around $100 million dollars in salary while taking back only about $25 million. If you’re a Hawks fan and you are not crunker than kids on coco, there’s something wrong with you. I actually danced a jig when I heard the news.Now I could talk about the awesomeness of the trade until I was blue in the face; however, there was a superhero movie that premiered today and I must discuss it. “The Amazing Spider-Man” was not quite amazing, but it was pretty cool. It was a little cheesy, and a little confusing towards the end; but overall it’s a great deal of fun.

I must say the nerd crew and I have got to start trying to figure out which theater is the 3-D theater in time. We missed the very beginning, because the 3-D theaters weren’t marked.

Now some people might ask why we didn’t just look at our tickets? Veteran fans of my reviews already know the answer to that. Obviously if one buys 2-D tickets while using “recycled” 3-D glasses, one’s ticket will be of no use when trying to figure out the correct theater.

That being said, once in the correct theater we immediately sat down prepared to be amazed. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, especially the dynamic between Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone, who Swamp Thang swears looks younger in every part she plays, and a brave but awkward Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield, who’s mostly remembered for “getting screwed” in “The Social Network” (well as screwed as someone can be who ended up with $3.2 Billion).

Sally Field and Martin Sheen do a fantastic job of playing Aunt May and Uncle Ben. SPOILER ALERT, Uncle Ben of course is killed due to Peter, with newfound powers, not stopping a criminal.

Peter, as most people know, acquires these powers via spider bite, hence the title character’s name. Peter’s bite came about while trying to get information about Dr. Curt Connors, a famous scientist who worked with Peter’s deceased father.

Peter’s desire to meet Dr. Connors comes from a deep longing to find out more about his parents, after stumbling across something his father was working on for Oscorp. When meeting Dr. Connors, Peter gives Connors an equation that seemingly is the final piece of Connor’s regeneration formula.

Peter begins to search for his Uncle’s killer, eventually becoming the vigilante Spider-Man. Peter, seeking only vengeance for his uncle’s death, has his eyes opened to the role of a real hero during a contentious dinner date with Gwen’s family, including a heated debate with Gwen’s father, a police captain in the NYPD, played by the always angry Dennis Leary.

Of course, Peter’s decision to help Connor with his research results in Connor becoming a giant psychotic lizard hell bent on forcing humanity to “evolve” into lizard people.

Now that is a brief synopsis that I hope did not give too much away. I have to say, the Stan Lee cameo was by far the worst one I’ve seen. It’s obvious that he’s not even in the room; however, yes that was a Pony Boy sighting.

The after credits scene, was lamer than Charles Xavier playing kick ball. I’m sorry but the one at the end of “The Avengers” was better, and they didn’t even talk. Too Soon? No, it’s not, if you haven’t seen “The Avengers” yet, that’s on you. Seriously, what are you waiting for?

“The Amazing Spider-Man” is well worth seeing in the theater, especially if you have “recycled” 3-D glasses. I must reiterate that it is a little cheesy, especially with the city of New York always helping “Spidey” in some way; but Spider-Man has always been sort of “the people’s champ” in New York, despite J. Jonah Jameson and the Daily Bugle. So I get it, and accept it.

There’s something for everybody, oh and fellas don’t worry the romance between Stacy and Parker does not dominate the story, just adds enough seasoning to make the story interesting. One more SPOILER ALERT, if you’re one of those people expecting a certain tragedy, hold your horses; maybe in the next movie.
