Critics Consensus

A well-chosen cast and sure-handed direction allow The Amazing Spider-Man to thrill, despite revisiting many of the same plot points from 2002's Spider-Man.

A Film that grew on people over time and for good reason. While Tobey Maguire delivered a great performance a decade prior, We tend to forget that Andrew Garfield is also one of the more talented actors of the 21st century. Where this movie lacks in Plot and an interesting villain that can combat the value of Spider-Man, it makes up for it with the Cast’s performances and Cinematography while providing superb quality with the action. 3.0 / 4.0 | 75% Positive Score

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

If you stop mining it for its self-proclaimed amazing qualities, and overlook its slow patches, The Amazing Spider-man' is watchable enough, even though it did not make my jaw drop anywhere.

It has the talent, the already endearing subject, but fails to deliver on the promise it had before.

The story works hard to integrate various elements from Spidey's history, and the score works even harder to let you know what you should be feeling at any given moment.

The Wolfman Cometh

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are electric every time they're on screen and web-swinging sequences are energetic and exciting, but the antagonists and overall story miss the mark.

For the Win (USA Today)

While Garfield shined and some of the set pieces were nifty, the film’s plot and use of Rhys Ifans’ Lizard failed to really capture the imagination like other films with Spider-Man.

Deep Focus Review

No matter how impressive a cast, no matter how moody the marketing, no matter what superficial alterations the film’s three credited writers make to the character, none of it can distract from the familiarity of Spider-Man’s origin story.

Rated: 2/4
