2nd best Spider-Man film

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2012)

I went into Amazing Spider-Man with high hopes I must say, and I was not disappointed. It's better than the 1st film, better than the 3rd, but it just fell short of being better than the 2nd.
The chemistry between the Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone is amazing, you actually feel for the two of them through out the film, Emma Stone plays the role of Gwen Stacy perfectly, as Andrew Garfield does as both Spider-Man and Peter Parker.
The villain, Dr. Curt Connors (AKA The Lizard), played by Rhys Ifans, is superb in the film, as is Captain Stacy, played by Dennis Leary.
The only flaw I had with the film, is that the villain was a lot like the villain in the past 3 films, as he would talk to himself (or a more insane version of himself), but the director did a great job in making Spider-Man more arrogant than he was in the other films, there are times when you will laugh out loud at his wise cracks, but you still can't help but feel for him at times in the film.
Overall, I would recommend this film to everyone. It's a lot more in depth with the relationship moments in the film, which the past 3 films lacked, although it doesn't have the same set piece moments that the Sam Raimi films had, so do not expect the film to be filled with them
