Excellent Superhero film.

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2013)

I am not a fan of super hero movies and watched this only because my kids wanted to watch it.
The cast was top rate. I thought Andrew Garfield was pretty impressive as Peter Parker and made a better Spider-man than Tobey Maguire. Emma Stone is a fantastic actress and always worth watching and adds charm as Gwen Stacy. Martin Sheen was as good as ever and Rhys Ifans makes for a pretty good villain.
The film was beautifully shot and the set pieces where Peter Parker discovers his powers were amusing and well filmed. The action sequences throughout the film were exciting and well executed.
This is an old fashioned and uncomplicated telling of the tale and much the better for it. This to my mind is the finest Superhero film made and certainly much better than the recent Dark Knight films.
