The Amazing Spider-Man
Teenage social outcast Peter (Andrew Garfield) spends his days trying to
unravel the mystery of his own past and win the heart of his high school crush,
Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). A mysterious briefcase belonging to his father, who
abandoned him when he was a child, leads Peter to his dad's former partner, Dr.
Connors. The discovery of his father's secret will ultimately shape his destiny
of becoming “Spider-Man” and bring him face to face with Connors' villainous
alter ego, the Lizard.
Critic Reviews:

appropriately sweet and sassy as Gwen Stacy. " –

- " The Amazing Spider-Man, despite telling the same story again is not
only successful, but a lot of fun to watch. " –
David Harris
- " A film that works best on an intimate scale, although Webb proves
quite adept at directing compelling action sequences. " –
