About this movie

Teenage social outcast Peter (Andrew Garfield) spends his days trying to unravel the mystery of his own past and win the heart of his high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). A mysterious briefcase belonging to his father, who abandoned him when he was a child, leads Peter to his dad’s former partner, Dr. Connors. The discovery of his father's secret will ultimately shape his destiny of becoming "Spider-Man" and bring him face to face with Connors' villainous alter ego, the Lizard.

So after making three crap spiderman films. They somehow have managed to re tell the same boring story all over again. How do the big film companies get away with it. The least they could have done was remade the dreary films again but better. But to make the first re outing of spiderman a dreary childish boredom fest is just a cheek in my opinion.

This movie was all over the place in a good way. The origin story was the exact same as the Sam Raimi trilogy but Gwen Stacy replacing MJ is a big improvement. Spiey's suit looks awful but am I the only person who realised Spidey unmasked in front of a little kid? Of course, this was just the beginning so they just tossed Lizard in there

Better than the 2002 version, still gets a bit silly though. If they make the next one like Batman, realistic, it will be great. If they make it for backwards inbred 12 year old boys who say things like, "best film eveer!" then it will fail, and within a year, you won't hear of it again.
