  • A decidedly premature outing for the masked vigilante, The Amazing Spider-man loses the innocence and whimsy the original had, but provides enough source material accuracy and tantalizing effects to provide an experience worthy of its titular character. Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker is the main problem of the film, with the character departing from its roots, and instead going for a more "loner" approach than the original nerd take; this in turn disengages the audience, and does not let us feel for him as much. The film is witty and fun, but a slightly darker take on the familiar webslinger
