It
is inevitable to compare the friendly neighborhood spidey with the
amazing spidey. With that being said, we must admit that The Amazing
Spider-Man is a bold attempt from director Marc Webb. It's not easy
to break away from the image of Tobey Maguire personifying Spiderman
from the hearts of fans across the world. In the film, it's evident
that the director is not trying to do that either. Hollywood is
calling it a reboot of the Spider-Man franchise.
Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man, has managed to live and breathe the character in a unique way. He is funnier, sassier and he has a much more casual approach to situations cracking a joke or two in the face of danger, unlike Tobey. In fact, he enjoys his superhero powers and doesn’t have any trouble accepting his new found talent.
Unlike the previous Spider-Man films, the screenwriter takes us through how Peter Parker ended up with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Another difference is that this Spider-man doesn't naturally produce webs from his hands, instead he has built a gadget that spews them. Director Marc Webb has really tried hard in re-presenting the iconic dialogue of uncle Ben advising Peter on responsibility.

Emma
Stone as Gwen Stacy is a smart, charismatic and strong-willed young
lady. She does not make you miss Kirsten Dunst as MJ. The famous
kissing scene between Spider-Man and MJ while he's upside down, has
been replaced with a youthful spin that gets applauded by audiences.
Suffering
from an amputated arm, antagonist Dr. Connors (Rhys Ifans) has been
working to develop a formula that will help the regeneration of cells
within the human body. Finally, he gets the formula right thanks to
Peter Parker and does a trial on himself. Things go terribly wrong,
transforming him into a powerful Lizard. In my opinion, I would say
Goblin was far better but who cares? There are other scenes in the
movie that are engaging and worth watching.
Although
he gave us a phenomenal performance, as usual, Irrfan khan had more
of an appearance rather than playing an actual villain. His role was
even shorter than that of Anil Kapoor in Mission Impossible 4.
The
visual effects are mind blowing, especially during the climax of the
movie. Watching it in IMAX or 3D makes the experience electrifying.
The
Amazing Spider-Man has already spread its web over Indian audiences
raking in the moola this past weekend. I highly recommend it!
