Movie Monday: The Amazing Spider-Man

Well I'm back and so is Movie Mondays... at least for the rest of the summer. 

Our most recent movie theater visit was to see The Amazing Spiderman.

Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans

Small Plot Teaser: Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. You have to watch and see what happens.

Our Review: Noland and I went to see this with my mom when we were visiting my family in North Florida.  The Amazing Spiderman was the best of the Spiderman movies yet. Andrew Garfield was a way better Spiderman than Tobey Maguire. The Amazing Spiderman had a darker, more serious feel than Spiderman movies of the past. 

I really enjoyed Lizard as the villain. He was well developed and kept you on the edge of your seat. It even made me look at real lizards in a different way... haha. I hope no one ever makes giant lizards, because the villain, Lizard was scary. I would not recommend taking little kids to this movie unless they have seen scary movies because it is a little scary. 

I also enjoyed the Gwen Stacy character. She was different than Mary-Jane who you have seen in the past. Emma Stone did a great job as Gwen Stacy and I actually liked her. When Kirsten Dunst played Mary Jane, I was not a fan. There is so much more I could say that I liked about this movie but I really don't want to ruin it. You should definitely check it out for yourself if you like the super hero movies!

THERE IS A POST CREDITS SCENE. So don't forget to stay after so you can see and evaluate what exactly happens for yourself. My wonderful loving husband has two blogs and one of them is called Super Hero Scoop. If you want to read more about the POST CREDITS SCENE click here.

News: It has been confirmed that there The Amazing Spiderman is the first of a trilogy. Two more Spidey movies to come. The Amazing Spiderman 2 should be coming to a theater near you in 2014!

Can't wait for our sweet baby to get here and get into all this superhero stuff! His dad is soo excited too!

These are my personal, non-paid opinions. My husband and I enjoy reviewing movies and wound love to hear your opinion, agree or disagree.

That's all for this Movie Monday! :)

Movie Monday: Summer 2012

Hey Everyone! Today I decided to share some movies I'm excited to see this summer!

So here they are: 

What to Expect when you're Expecting (In Theaters)

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (June 8)

The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3)

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (July 20)

So Let's start at the top: 

1. What to Expect When You're Expecting hit theaters this weekend! 

Considering, the fact that I am currently almost 22 weeks pregnant, this movie looks like it could be pretty entertaining. I'm so excited and nervous about being a mother so I think this movie could add some humor to the beautiful process of carrying and delivering a sweet lil baby.

I read a great movie review over at Keeping up with the Cantelmo's. She gave it 3 out of 5 stars. While this movie looks funny, I think I'll listen to Melanie's review save it as a red box rental when it comes out on DVD...Just in case you haven't see the preview, here it is: 

2. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted hits theaters on June 8, 2012! 

Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see this movie! Have you seen the first two? 

Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman are back and still fighting to get home to the New York City Zoo! 

Check it out, Here is the preview:

3. The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters on July 3! I have to say this is the movie that I am most excited to see this summer.. besides the Avengers, which I already saw and reviewed here

My older brother and little nephews love Spider-man. They love the movies with Toby McGuire.. but I personally think this movie is going to be amazing! It will have a little different spin on the whole story with Gwen Stacy!

Here's the synopsis from imdb: 

Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.

Here is the preview:

and...

4. Batman: The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20, 2012. 

This looks like it's going to good. I have a few concerns. I'm not a big Anne Hathaway fan and I hope she doesn't ruin this movie.. I feel bad saying that. I used to think she was a great wholesome girl but the past few years & her past few movies, I no longer feel that way!

Here's the synopsis from imdb: 

Eight years after Batman took the fall for Two Face's crimes, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy

Here is the preview:

Don't all these movies look good?!

What movie are you looking forward to seeing this summer?

Leave me a comment and let me know! 

That's all I have for today! Thanks for stoppin' by
