I didn't like Amazing Spider-Man: I appreciated that the producers aimed high to appeal to Christopher Nolan audiences, but they don't get Christopher Nolan.
It wasn't a vigilante film as neither the crime in New York City was a result of corruption as demonstrated by Captain Stacy, and was instead a result of a camp teenager realization of evil corporations, opposed to a realistic perception of bad guys like with Lockheed Martin. We also instead get a "story" about not wanting to save Samaritans.
Unlike Batman Begins, the characters were underdeveloped or lost along the mix. Uncle Ben dies after treating Peter like a jerk, and rightfully so. Then Peter witnesses him die without us realizing the bond between them. We never get to witness him as a surrogate father figure. It could've been used as a way to swerve us from the sudden death, but instead was just a nightmare. I dunno. Maybe Uncle Ben got in an argument with the cast or something leading that to happen.
We don't get an origin on how he fights or sews despite it supposedly being a Batman Begins origin story.
