However, when he discovers the two are VCR repairmen, he makes a fateful phone call that sets into motion a horrific series of events.
Summary and Review[]
The Amazing Spider-Man[]
“ The Amazing Spider-Man is the new reboot, reimagining, remake thing about Spider-Man, most recently directed by Sam Raimi. This version, however, is directed by some guy named Marc Webb. [...] The Amazing Spider-Man tells the story we've seen already except this time with a lizard instead of a man in a plastic Halloween mask. The plot was clearly stolen from the 1971 film Zaat, as the lizard wants to turn humans into his own kind for either superiority reasons or lack-of-an-arm complex or something. Spider-Man must stop him, I guess. —Jay Bauman”
