Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: The Amazing Spider-man

Genre: Action Fantasy Thriller, dose contain strong violence that may not be suitable for age under 15.

Cert: 12A cert

Story: The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Likes : Well what can i say, well i'm just completely stunned by a amazing & well filmed spider-man film, the balance between a serious film & comical moments was just spot on, even tho i think Tobey Maguire was a good peter Parker & spider-man i feel that Andrew Garfield plays peter Parker better & a more realistic spider-man than the original spider-man,his performance was so good you could feel the pain of losing someone he cared about the struggle to fit in at school as well, i think he bought a darker edge to spider-man & a more realistic role to the character of spider-man. Playing he's love interest the beautiful Emma Stone who plays Gwen Stacy who by far is so much better than Kirsten Dunst in the original films, Emma stone doesn't play this damsel in distress girl like Kirsten Dunst character she plays a role willing to put her self in danger to help peter complete he's mission which was a fantastic role & performance by Emma stone.Playing the villain in the film Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors aka The Lizard man, now in an interview Rhys ifan said he was a massive spider-man fan & to play a part in this film was a dream come true,now he's performance as Dr curt Conner & the lizard man was amazing the special effect of the lizard was so realistic you couldnt really tell it was C.G.I even tho it was that's what made this film all that amazing,he's character playing the Dr curt was driven mad when injecting the liquid into him self it was like a split personality evolved in he's mind which made he's performance & acting this role more believable to most villain in spider-man. playing peter Parker aunt & uncle Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben & Sally Field as Aunt May, these to actor were amazing in this film both have a lot of film between them for them to play these role was amazing, both performance by these brilliant actors was spot on you actually believe that they have been together for years it show a more family unit between them when peter was mess up.Now what i also loved is the fact they didn't go with the original webbing from the hands like in the first three film, they use the cartridge webbing which can fire up to a 1000 metres of webbing thanks to the genetically enhanced spiders in oscorp labs like you see in the cartoons which made it more realistic & its these spiders as you know that bite peter Parker to make him spider-man.also what i loved is what it so needed is a darker edge to the storyline like the batman dark knight films which made this film more realistic in every way.

Dislikes: absolutely nothing wrong with this movie apart from it could of been just a little longer

Overall : a well balance film between comical moment, action & emotional scenes, a world class film awesome acting performances & a worth watching,

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment, 10 out 10 for being the best spider-man film ever made
