A new Spider-man SLINGING in for "The Amazing Spiderman"

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2017)

Approximately 5 years since the making of the third and final Tobey Maguire "Spider-man" film, Andrew Garfield is the next actor to hit the stage, with a new story, villain, and lover.
After a school excursion, Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him superpowers similar to those of a spider (including amazing instincts, super strength and the ability to climb up walls). After receiving this power, he attempts to use it to his advantage, but after the death of a close relative, he undergoes a period where he seeks vengeance, before progressing to a goal to protect others.
Easily the best "Spider-man" film since 2002, the first of the Tobey Maguire legacy, the film features an amazing line-up of actors with Andrew Garfield playing Spider-man/Peter Parker and Emma Stone playing Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's love interest. The two perform spectacularly together, with an obvious attraction between both actors and characters. The CGI for The Lizard (Rhys Ifan - the antagonist of the film) is also extremely well done, making him seem all the more realistic. The return of "Spider-man" is definitely not to be missed.
