Review of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) by Psp1213 — 19 Jul 2012

This movie has exceeded all expectations I had for the movie. Having not read the comics as a kid and with the earlier trilogy being the only real connection I had to spider-man I am not comparing it so much to the comics and the previous trilogy.

While this movie is more grounded and connected to the comics, the closer connection to the comics is not what makes this movie great for me--the fact that the movie is great is what makes this movie great for me.

The acting is superb, as is the writing, and I was able to relate to the characters and feel that they were actual people. The plot kept moving and revisited the earlier events in Peter Parker's story in a way that was fresh enough to hold my attention, and keep me from getting bored.

The action is fast, suspenseful, and sure to please.
