Chris Stuckmann reviews The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field. The Amazing Spider Man is a great movie. There is a ton of action.
However, these merits are impossible to enjoy in a film drowned from beginning to end in the sickening narcissism of both its purported hero and supposedly tragic villains. The Amazing Spider-Man is a lot of fun. Marc Webb's successful synthesis of action and emotion, together with a The gear-shift in the superhero movie is now unmistakeable.
Where once they aimed to essentially replicate the experience of reading a comic book, they now. This is a more thoughtful film, and its action scenes are easier to follow in space and time. If we didn't really need to be told Spidey's origin story again. 'Amazing Spider-Man' star Andrew Garfield is a more surly Peter Parker than former franchise star Tobey Maguire. Since Tobey Maguire didn't want to appear in another "Spider-Man" movie, welcome to "The Amazing Spider-Man" starring Andrew. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between.

Trailer The Amazing Spider-Man
Find out if this Spider-Man movie is better or worse than the Sam Raimi trilogy. A decade after the last 'Spider-Man' movie series starring Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi came up; Sony Pictures have churned up a franchise reboot. Sorry currently there are no critic reviews available for this movie.
The first installment of Marc Webb's spectacularly ill-fated reboot series swung into theaters with all the enticing freshness of Worst of all is that "The Amazing Spider-Man" never cops to the fact that virtually everyone in its target audience had already seen it a few years. The Amazing Spider-Man is one confused mixed bag of a superhero movie. The first ten minutes say a lot about the dramatic tone that director Marc Webb was most concerned with establishing, although much of that particular air of self-seriousness just kind of lays limp, waiting for the next intermittent. The villains are off in their own movie - which is big, and Schumacherian in tone - and they occasionally crash into Spider-Man's smaller relationship film.
