To say this movie is flawless would be a lie, but it is definitely the best Spider-Man movie since since Spider-Man 2. The Amazing Spider-Man does a better job in exploring Spider-Man's origins then the first film did. But unfortunately with so much time spent on setting up the origins of the hero, there was not enough time left to explore the relationship of Peter Parker and Curt Connors. Also the director seems intent on creating a mystery of Peter Parker's parents at the beginning of the film, but it ultimately goes nowhere and is a loose thread that will probably be further explored in the next film. To say the film is not as action packed as other super hero films is true, but ti makes up for that with great fight scenes. My biggest problem with this film though is the design of the Lizard, the villain looks more like a alien you would see in Star Trek then the monster you recognize from the comics. By giving the Lizard a more human face, he does not come off as a terrifying villain. The best thing I can say about this film is that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have better onscreen chemistry then Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst ever had. I should also not forget that this movie has the best web-swinging sequences in any Spider-Man movie. All in all, it may not be the best Spider-Man film, but it is a great start to a new trilogy.
