The Amazing Spider-Man is a comic book adaptation with the holes that most superhero movies have, filled in. Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) knows how to use his actors and keep you enthralled in every aspect of this adaptation.
In this Spider-Man reboot, we see more of everything. We find out more about Peter Parker and his family, and we get a better understanding of why he put himself in the hero spotlight in the first place. Webb gives us a better feel of Peter Parker entirely. What we thought was just an outcast at school with a crush is much more. We see that Peter has a challenging life at times and understand him better as a person and a hero.
The Amazing Spider-Man has a star cast. Andrew Garfield was born to play Spider-Man and made me forget about what I thought may have been one of the best superhero movies. He plays a perfect shy, dorky, funny, awkward, challenged Peter Parker and an inspiring hero. Emma Stone is stunning (as always) as Gwen Stacy and shines throughout along with the rest of the cast. Its safe to say this cast was near perfect and never misses a step.
Marc Webb excels in what seems to be his specialty. This could have just been a romance between Garfield and Stone, and I still would have been fascinated by his ability to create such emotion that connects with his audience. The Amazing Spider-Man accomplishes plenty. Visually, emotionally, comically, heroically, this is one of the best movies of the year so far and one of the best comic book adaptations I've ever seen!
