My spidey scenes are tingling for the new Spider-Man film that hit theaters a few weeks ago. With the previous series being cancelled, it was hard for me to want to see a new version of a not-so-well produced film, but everyone deserves a second chance. And I guess the proof is in the pudding.

The Amazing Spider-Man takes on a very different story line compared to the classic Marvel Comics tale and I enjoyed every last minute of it. Andrew Garfield was able to show audiences that Spider-Man can be loved much like the beloved Batman.

Although, Tobey Maguire will be remembered for his performance within the last series, it is safe to say that Andrew has created a lust for this Spidey character in more ways than one. From his flirtatious moves to his thirst for harmony, this wholesome vigilante warms the heart of any viewer. Not to mention the supporting actress Emma Stone has stolen the stage with her performance as Gwen--Spider-Man's love interest. The character of Gwen has been able to add a much more realistic take on the 'helpless damsel-in-distress' role of Mary-Jane. Gwen is seen as a down-to-earth, beautiful young women, who is strong, brave and intelligent. Where most films would have the defenseless Gwen run from evil, this film does not. Gwen plants her feet in the ground and continues to complete the task she has been asked to complete, even when she finds out that she is in the destruction path of Dr. Curt Connors. She also comes in quite handy when Spider-Man finds himself in a bind. Who knew this film would throw out the commonly used stereotypical character trait of the heroes powerless love interest.

Therefore, this film has set the stage for all other Spider-Man films to come. Apposed to the previous series with Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire The Amazing Spider-Man will be able to reach a new audience as it brings together action, romance, and the epic genre to create what some would call a blockbuster hit. Unfortunately, compared to other action films The Aamazing Spider-Man is lacking in terms of special effects. Much of this films scenes have been created through the use of computer technology. Compared to films like Batman, The Aamazing Spider-Man is still not able to thrill audiences with its computer simulated stunts, but I am sure it will get there.

All and all I give his film a [B+] for its new take take on a old film. I am sure movie goers will agree that this film pleasantly surprised them, which might end up being the reason they go and see any of others to come.
