The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)


"The Amazing Spider-Man" was possibly the most thrilling take on the character I have seen to date. Marc Webb found the true essence of the character, and made him every bit the neighborhood friendly wall-crawler we have come to know, and love. Packed with award caliber performances, it was far more promising than its trailers led us to believe. Comic book films are reaching a place where they as emotional as they are action packed, and this film found the balance perfectly. The small things that were wrong with were the kind of things not worth mentioning, so I won't. I'll just say that every origin story drags sometimes.
