Peter Parker is an outcast high schooler abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

PodBill Just what I expected
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
alexlachance Am I the only one who watched this movie only because of Emma Stone. One of the most beautiful actress in Hollywood appear as Peter Parker girlfriend. There is too much important death such as uncle Ben and Emma Stone caracters father. The movie is funny. The final antagonist is one of the worst in Marvel movies. The giant reptilian have no interesting facts.
John Flynn ...Sounds about right. The Amazing Spider-Man couldn't been further away from what the prefix of its title implies. It is an unfocused, dull, and, most importantly, pointless movie, whose sole existence is not justified by any factor. Its rushed production was not justified, since the final product wasn't good enough to justify such half-assed attempt to make another Spider-Man movie only five years after the last franchise ended. The storyline is very confusing at times. It obviously goes for the worldbulding type of storytelling. Which is why the movie sets up at least two individual storylines in the movie that don't resolve in anything afterwards. The movie has no identity. Everything in it feels bland and lifeless. The main theme of Spider-Man is butchered in this movie. This movie abounds one of the most fundamental aspects of Spider-Man; the Uncle Ben subplot gets not resolution. The movie abounds it shortly after it sets it up. I feel nothing for this Peter Parker. He feels very inconsistent when it comes to his characterization. So, no, thanks, I'll stick to the first two Sam Raimi movies. At least those two had vision.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)' promises the 'untold story' and yet gives us largely the same origin as before, oddly borrowing some specific elements that surely wouldn't be included if they hadn't been in the '2002' incarnation, while removing most of the connecting tissue between the events and thus severely reducing their impact. Peter Parker - here, a skate-boarding hipster who's idea of awkward is to talk too much but always manage to say the right thing - is bitten by a random spider, that isn't set up as being genetically modified, while visiting a lab and within a couple of scenes he is crawling about the walls with ease. It's almost like they couldn't be bothered to retell the origin story and so decided to rush through it, making the entire endeavour rather redundant as it's almost assumed you've seen the prior trilogy anyway. Even when the web-slinging action starts - which is well done for the most part and compounded by some believable visual effects - you just don't care. Plus, it doesn't help that the film is painfully generic, too, both in terms of the story-telling and the directing. At with least Raimi's trilogy, even when it was at it's worst it was still interesting. 5/10
radulovicmiodrag The only thing I don't like about this movie is that how fast he made the perfect suit, everything else is good, no complaints.
