The Batman Begins of Spiderman

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2012)

Okay, I've read all of the old comics. Watched all of the old movies, i liked Tobey McGuire's performance as Spidey but THIS Spiderman did something special: it made him a teenager.
Tobey's Spider-man was great, but he lacked that spirit that Peter had. Sure he was nerdy and acted like it but he wasn't a teenager. Anndrew Garfield is the definitive Peter Parker and Spidey. When Tobey first gets bitten by the radioactive spider, he seems to already know that he needs to be responsible and doesn't really learn anything. With Garfield he shows that even if he does have powers he is STILL a teenager and abuses his power and is trying to rid himself of the guilt and sadness of losing Uncle Ben and his parents. He's flawless, because he shows that human childish side that McGuire never had because that interpretation was a bit different and he was a little old.
Emma Watson as Gwen Stacy is PERFECT. She embodies her so well and the relationship she has with Peter is so sweet and beautiful and i bought it. It's not that i didn't like Mary Jane but i always preferred Gwen because she never whined and always stood by Peter even at his worst, but that's just my opinion.
Conner is great, he really captures how he didn't want to be the Lizard, *SPOILERS* at least at the end of the movie.
In short The Amazing Spider-man just pulled a Batman Begins and embodied everything that Spider-man is supposed to be, this brilliant.
