The Amazing Spider-man

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2014)

Following the cheesy remake of marvels comic Spiderman (one of the most beloved character in comic books) which was a 'few strands short of a web', Spiderman returns in a modern take, overcasting New York City which may have you asking 'didn't I see this 10 years ago. But With a younger star and more malicious villain than ever, the Spiderman myth continues to be more 'amazing'.Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is an isolated, secretive boy.
Struggling with an intimidating atmosphere and the 'average' bully, Flash Thompson (Chris Zylka), he finds a hidden briefcase that his Auntie May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) never mentioned. It leads him to the Oscorp towers where he pretends to be an intern to discover why his parents vacated him when he was younger and he is bitten by a rare breaded spider which gives him supernatural and unearthly abilities and embarks on his arachnid adventure to save New York City and Gwen Stacey who Peter is dating under the disapproving eyes of her cop father and who also wants to get under Peter Skin more than the radioactive spider did There's only one thing in his way; Dr Curt Conner's who overdoses on Lizard juice and turns into a hyper- violent mutant.. As the skateboarding 'dynamo' becomes a magnet for moral conflict and must make a substantial leap of faith to accept his powers and save mankind. The director, Marc Webb made an unexpected return since his last rom-com (500)days of summer which received many negative reviews. Whilst this film is more riveting, the superior motion picture has a more stimulating origin storyline and just the right casting. Having been bitten, Peter transforms into a confused and maniacal state leaving him with uncontrollable fiendish powers and strengths as he pulls of two very contrasting characters.
With a more engaging film cover, the background suggests that the movie includes more action and thrill giving it a positive effect on people before they even watch it. The outfit is more modern with intriguing gadgets and has fans believing it was set in Manhattan, New York considering it was filmed in Universal Studious, Florida. The transformation scenes are tremendous which streams the Shakespearean drama through teenagers' headphones and has you urging to see the sequel coming out this year (2014).
In my opinion watching a 2 hour and 16 minute long sci-fi movie wasn't the ideal way to spend the afternoon, especially since the origin takes an hour to tell, but as far as reboots go, this is a pretty successful on e and five minutes into the film i was bitten with pleasure. The amazing Spiderman is but no means perfect with a predictable storyline, but the good outweighs the bad and Andrew Garfield pulls of a very genuine American Accent and deserves a lot of recognition. Even though Peter just have happened to pass himself off as an intern and can enter a top secret area, create chaos and leave without triggering any alarms, these are coincidences that we don't dwell on long.
Through it all, Garfield fills both his intelligent Peter parker as well as star quality confident superhero, Spiderman. Mixing considerable acting with relatable teen boy arrogance. Also adding a bit of smartness and quirk, the amazing Spiderman turns to be a blockbuster hit, grossing precisely £262,030,663 on its release date of 3rd of July 2012. It's debatable if we needed another Spiderman after only 5 years, but if you wanted a new interpretation where the story, romance and action stay balanced, this is what you have been looking for.
