The Amazing Spider Man – Truly Amazing


Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field.

Director: Marc Webb

Producer:  Avi Arad, Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves

Duration: 136 Minutes

As an audience I was wondering how a same story can be told which is still refresh in every ones mind. Marc Webb showed it with “The Amazing Spider Man”. Thanks to this amazing director and his brilliant star cast, this film deserves a definite watch.

With a story line that everyone knows, Marc Webb as director had a very limited scope to make this movie appealing and he just does that. The Amazing Spider Man is more real, emotional, trendy and logical when compared to its predecessors. One thing which I liked the most about Mac Webb’s direction was, the way he portrayed his characters be it Peter Parker or his aunt & uncle or girl friend Gewn played by Emma. He made sure every character has that emotional connect and that really worked.

Coming to the plot, Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield is a boy with his share of problems, left with his aunt & uncle after his parent’s demise. How an introvert parker transforms into a spider man and takes on the monstrous lizard and becomes a super hero is the plot of the story.

Coming to individual performances the one that truly stands out and worth appreciating is Andrew Garfield. An appealing boyish face full of emotions, Andrew Gafield truly reminds of stalwarts like Al Pacino in some of the scenes. He just brings the natural flavor to the character.  

Emma stone with her charismatic looks justifies her role and puts up a good performance. Parkers Uncle & Aunt, May & Ben played by Sally & Martin in spite of limited screen presence does an amazing job and is worth appreciating.

Lastly, the special effects team deserves double thumbs up especially for designing those night sequences extra ordinarily. 

Overall “The Amazing Spider Man” is truly amazing and it deserves a definite watch.

My Rating : 3.5/5
