I remember when I was about 10 years old and I got to see the trailer for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. It was a great heist scene at a bank but as the burglars tried to escape in a helicopter they get caught in a gigantic web between two buildings (fun film fact that trailer was shot before 9/11 and afterwards the teaser was pulled). Nevertheless I was so excited and stoked to finally see my favorite comic book character on the big screen! Then it finally came out! and it was AMAZING! I LOVED it! Green Goblin was awesome, Spider-Man was badass and hilarious, and Franco and Dunst didn't do a half bad job. I was so happy with the output and watched it 4 times in theaters. Then we got a sequel and just when I thought things couldn't get better, Spider-Man 2 blew my expectations by being even better! Doc Ock was INCREDIBLE! The story great and the film the best so far. Then we got the 3rd one and it was awful, I mean horrible. There was no excuse but I blame the studio's pressure and control on the film for that one. It seemed that hope was lost and the ride was over. Then Amazing Spider-Man was announced and while I did have my doubts it did seem possible. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone seemed perfect casting and I was a HUGE fan of (500) Days Of Summer so I had faith in Marc Webb. While I wasn't excited for The Lizard or the fact that it was a reboot but I still hoped that it was going to be at least somewhat decent. So what did I think of The Amazing Spider-Man? Read on to find out...The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, a teenage nerd living with aunt and uncle after his parents disappeared at an early age, who is trying to reconnect with the mysteries connected with his parent's life. This trail brings him to Oscorp where he meets Curt Conners, one of his father's co-workers. While at Oscorp Peter does some sneaking on his own and accidentally gets bitten by a spider. This is no ordinary spider though as Peter immediately begins to feel the changes inside of him as he gains the powers of a spider. As Peter tries to get a grip on his new power while also trying to balance his life, his Uncle Ben is shot by a burglar. Peter goes out to seek the murderer for justice and along the way dons the costume and names himself Spider-Man. At the same time Curt Conners is being cut off by Oscorp and in a desperate move injects himself with a new serum, thanks to the help of Peter, and changes into the gigantic Lizard. All the while Gwen Stacy has come into Peter's life as a love interest. So Peter must find a way to accept his new role of protector all while stopping the Lizard before he can harm any more people.
