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.
This story is one of the most commented stories in all Hollywood ground, used and abused the plot is part of millions of people's fantasies. This movie is not about how a man became a spider or lizard, it explores much more than that. It explores relationships. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone delivered stunning performances and gave the audience the feeling of a wanted love which made the movie calm and reassuring. I thought I'd leave the room disappointed and hoping for more but it was completely the opposite, this is definitely the best spider-man so far. The characters were more involved and interesting than the original ones.
The Amazing Spider-man leaves you glued to your chair and the surprises keep on coming. Many of the viewers rated it badly an I might know why is that. Most movies in 3D are not worth seeing in 3D, I saw this spider-man in 2D which gave me a better capacity to compare it with other movies from the super-hero. A film is only "3D worthy" when it brings that different essence to a character or a plot, like Vampire Hunter, which has a totally mixed concept, and that is when you know you should watch it in 3D. What happens with Spider-man is that people expected it to jump to your lap but guess what? THAT. IS. NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.
My final opinion? The director and screenwriters gave to this used plot a new different emotional concept that I applaud and respect. I am not saying it was perfect because it lacked on the music and the irreverent feel of a good villain, but it's a movie that works and that people will feel curious to see no matter what the reviewers say.
