The Amazing Spider-Man


Peter Parker: Ahem, you know, if you're going to steal cars, don't dress like a car thief.

Car Thief: You a cop?

Peter Parker: You seriously think I'm a cop in a skintight red and blue suit?


The Amazing Spider-Man
Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans
Written by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves
Directed by Marc Webb
Plot: Unlucky-in-life teen Peter Parker once again is transformed into the hero Spider-Man and finds himself battling The Lizard and falling for high school sweetheart Gwen Stacy.

"The best cast of all the Spider-Man films, but a lack of unified direction and writing sends the webslinger in all sorts of messy directions. I did however appreciate the more reality-based storytelling, but missed Sam Raimi's blockbuster flair."
