The Amazing Spider-Man Experience

We got the June 29, 12:01 AM slot, yay! 

While waiting at the lounge, the whole venue was so filled with "Spidey" fanatics from different generations, genders and class. But there's one thing that we all do have in common... we're all excited about the whole muvee and how would Andrew Garfield do justice to his role as Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man.

Part of the waiting crowd gathered at the SM IMAX lounge

People get in line to have a lucky pick from the bowl and claim their free posters. 

Well I got a pen hehe :)

Aside from the SM IMAX Baller ID, we were also given Krispy Kreme doughnuts and paper hats, there's my pen and the exclusive poster. 

We were also given a free coffee, sakto, inaantok na talaga ko that time! :))

Since the seats were all occupied, this group caught my attention... picnic anyone? :P 

I find it cool though, specially if you do it with your friends.

Of course, it would be a little-less happy without your peers, hehe

Haiz, I really need this kick! hihihi

"La lang," this too caught me, nice noh? 

Almost there... this is the entrance to the left side of the theater 

At 11:45 PM, here's the view (IMAX and SMDC parking lot) from where we lined up for entrance

Finally, we got in and got my 3D glasses on hehe (excited?! excited?!)

To tell you honestly, I really don't have any plans of documenting and blogging about this whole "thing." I just got really inspired by those people who really came out of their way staying late, even had their kids tagged along, even the grandmas and grandpas were there. It was like a gathering of sorts, a "bonding" which the Filipinos are popularly known for. Amazing, right?!

Now we turn our wheels to the movie... frankly speaking, I am not an avid reader of Spider-Man nor any of Marvel comics' stories. Being a movie enthusiast, I never fail to catch them on screen. But since I've been talking to few Marvel comics readers, I found out that one of Spider-Man's edited story from Toby Maguire's three flicks (2002, 2004 and 2007) was the "spider web" coming out of his wrists. 

Spider-Man Web Shooter

With the latest Spider-Man movie, it was presented that Peter Parker himself made his very own web shooter aside from customizing his "spandex" costume. And that alone, really made an impact to the story. And now, the makers of this film can fully claim that, the untold chapter of Spider-Man was finally unveiled. 

Andrew Garfiled as the new Spider-Man

I would like to commend the whole production for making this film so AMAZINGLY Spectacular! And this is the other reason why I opted to blog about this. I didn't expect that Andrew Garfield will be this great and he did exceed our expectations and gave justice to his character. Clap, clap, clap! Bravo! Andrew's been working hard for this character for six months, he had undergone physical preparations, doing strength, agility and core training, even nutritional monitoring. Do you think that by just plain camera, digital or graphic tricks, these would all work? Nah ah, as his character requires and as part of the movie's preparation per se, Andrew even had to do some trampoline works, power core moves, perfecting basketball skills, as well as martial arts, gymnastic and parkour works for three months. And it all paid-off! Whew! It was indeed a tiring, critical and yet a very humbling task being a superhero like Spider-Man huh! :))

Spider-Man came out of the manhole 

It was refreshing to see on screen such brilliant and award-winning Hollywood actors like Martin Sheen, playing the role of Uncle Ben and Ms. Sally Field as Aunt May.

On the other hand, Emma Stone who appeared in several movies like Friends With Benefits and Crazy, Stupid, Love opposite Ryan Gosling plays Gwen Stacy as Peter Parker's love interest in the movie.

Some of the scenes of Spider-Man's life story were presented in different versions but the significant thing is, the whole movie gave justice to itself. You know, I'd really wanted to pour some more points here but the rest is all for you to find out! So, if ever you have the chance and means, please I do encourage you to watch it in 3D, and you'll be more than AMAZED.

 I tell you, you'll love it as much as I did. 

I don't want to be a spoiler but please do stay in your seats 'til the film credits start to run on the screen. See you at the next "The Amazing Spider-Man" folks, since they're now preparing for the shooting of its sequel. :))
