Synopsis: The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Verdict: The Amazing Spider-Man 3D is a fast paced action adventure film with a touch of suspense and the necessary thrills. The film is perfect for all audiences and is sure to satisfy all Spider-Man and comic book fans.

Andrew Garfield showcases Peter Parker as a believable teenage character with normal teenage issues including being bullied and having a teen crush yet he is a strong and dedicated character which is why he was able to hunt down his Uncle's killer. Whilst the villain of The Amazing Spider-Man has a strong agenda which takes you on a journey of exhilarating ups and downs.

The clever sound in the movie is encompassing and scares you out of your seat whilst the use of spiders and lizards will have those afraid squirming!

Rating: ****
