Being a big fan of the Spider-Man mythos, I was going into this reboot hoping it wasnt going to make me regret walking outside in this hell-like weather and gladly i did not. This was a pretty solid movie.
I didnt know shit about Director Marc Webb's work prior to this but i really like his take on a origin story we all know too well. It was fleshed out very nicely....It had a more more modern, less goofy tone than the original trilogy and i pray it stays that way.
Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker is my favorite aspect of the film. He had a mysterious, aloof aura about himself and i feel like he brought the true Spidey to the big screen....witty,wise ass remarks combined with a serious flow. Hopefully, he brings that common man aspect i like to the next installment.
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy: I wont dwell into this that much because no matter what, she would of did a whole lot better than the wack-ass Gwen Stacy portrayal from Spider-Man 3. She would have been a great Mary Jane look-wise because she looks great as a redhead and i love redheads....but she did okay.
The Lizard was a OK villain but i felt he had a little too much of the split personality complexity going on from Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin...but his overall look was pretty badass.
The action was solid.....I love the fight between Peter and the Lizard but the final battle wasnt all that great. I seen worst final battles though (Ghost Rider 1).
Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man was a okay flick. Will it overshadow the original movies?......that remains too be seen. Is it the best superhero movie of all time.....no. That honor goes to The Avengers.....at least till The Dark Knight Rises comes out.

good to know that the Lizard is the villain in this one, always been my favorite Spider Man villain with Doc Oc a close second. also glad that spidey is rid of the dweeby persona without being dark. good to see a spider man portrayal that tread that line like in the cartoons, because it's really dosn't seem that hard to do, but they dropped the ball in the third movie. not a fan of spider man himself, but this was a much needed reboot. might actually see it.
