Does total justice to the marvel comics storyline... Lot better than the earlier movie version....

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2012)

For the first time in life I had the privilege of watching a movie before its release and I must say that I was pretty "Amazed". Those people who are mentioning that this movie has shades of twilight , they have certainly not read the original storyline of the comics. The romance of Peter and Gwen Stacy was needed because it certainly is going to be very useful in its sequels. The climax fight between spidey and lizard is really a money's worth. I had really not expected much after I came to know that this movie was directed by a person who has just directed one movie and several music videos. If you are the one who had same thoughts then you are truly in for a surprise. Marc Webb has done an excellent work in doing justice to the comic book character of Peter Parker, unlike Sam Raimi. The blend of emotions and action is what makes this movie a great one. Comic book fans will surely understand the reason for Gwen Stacy's romance with Parker. The action scenes are just too great. At times you can feel that you are actually in Spidey's shoes. Andrew Garfield does a fantastic job and just fits in well with the shy , nerdy character of Peter like that in comics , unlike Tobey whom i always found unfit for the role of Spiderman.. From the storyline one might get a hint that Spidey may join the Avengers team next time. But now that's for Marvel to decide. All in All, this is a must watch for everyone (esp. those who are ardent fans of The Amazing Spiderman comic books)
