Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father’s former partner.
Okay, before I get to involved in this review, there is something that I have say it is pointless to release a 3D version of a movie that is set in an urban environment, film-makers need to realise that does little for the movie watching experience. Since around 1915 there has been five ages of 3D filmmaking and if you want to see an end to the current age of 3D filmmaking keep up with the same old trick of releasing a 3D cut with every single ‘comic book’ movie that will ever be released, ever.
Despite the valiant efforts of everybody five years ago involved with making of Spider-Man 3 to completely kill off the franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man has managed to breath much needed life back into the Spider Man Film franchise. I have to wonder will this rebooted Spider-Man franchise go as dark as the rebooted Batman franchise?
The Amazing Spider-Man does not completely turn its back on the Sam Raimi trilogy and there are a couple of moments, when I thought that the movie was tipping its hat to the Raimi trilogy.
Andrew Garfield gave good performance; there seems to have been more effort in bringing about the final version of spider-man while Emma Stone proved to be as delightful as ever.
