Amazing Spiderman

I was a little apprehensive about watch The Amazing Spiderman because I liked the originals with Tobey Maguire so I was pleasantly surprised that this version was really good. Andrew Garfield takes over the role of Peter Parker/Spiderman, Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy who is Peter's first love, Dennis Leary plays Gwen's father, a police Lt., Martin Sheen plays Peter's uncle Ben and Sally Field plays Peter's Aunty May. Rhys Ifans is the villain playing Dr. Curt Conners/Lizard. The added back story of when Peter came to live with his aunt and uncle and what happened to his parents was great. This just wasn't an action movie but there was comedy mixed in along with action. I give it 4 out of 5 popcorn kernels.
