THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2012)
Featuring: Andrew Garfield; Emma Stone; Rhys Ifans
Director: Marc Webb
This is basically a reboot of the original Spider-Man franchise. It follows roughly the same story line of a teenage nerd being bitten by some sort of super spider which gives him spider-like abilities. But that is where the similarities end. This film differs significantly from the Sam Raimi trilogy. It therefor has to be judged on its own merits.
As mentioned, the basic plot remains the same and it is thus not necessary to go into the details thereof. However, for me the story is a bit confusing. One is never quite sure what motivates the different characters; why do they do what they do? But the rest of the production (acting, special effects, all the other technical stuff) is superb. And Andrew Garfield is quite convincing in his role as Peter Parker / Spider-Man. Further is Emma Stone, as usual, very pleasing on the eye. Overall, this is a pretty good movie despite what many critics has to say.
I rate it at 3 out of 5 stars.
