Here comes the slingy saviour - The Amazing Spiderman!
The character of Peter Parker has always been a fascination for me , a true blue hero yet a human at heart ... very real.
This franchise is a re-boot of the 2002 Sam Raimi classic - Spiderman starring Tobey Maguire.
What a Web of Action has been woven here !
Andrew Garfield plays Spiderman aka Peter (He has come a long way from The Social Network).
The initial reels of the movie talks about how Peter unravels the secrets of his parents in particular his father's research at the Oscorp lab on cross species genetics!
His dilemma , his confusion , his inner turmoil , unanswered questions makes him unravel more. His transformation post Uncle Ben's murder has been enacted by Andrew to the 'T' , he actually makes Tobey Maguire look amatuerish and dumb in the previous franchise!
Gwen Stacy is introduced for the first time in this series as Peter's love interest at high school. Emma Stone plays Gwen with upmost confidence.
The crackling awkwardeness between Peter Parker and Gwen has been performed exceptionally well by both the actors There are a lot of sweet tender moments which makes this film a lot more human than just another Bad vs Good plot.
Rhys Ifans plays Dr Curt Connors , Oscorps leading scientists whose work on regeneration of human tissues is unparalleled. Things don't fall into place for Dr Curt and his experiment goes horribly wrong to turn him into The Lizard!
A word on our very own Irfan Khan , plays Dr. Ratha at the Oscorp and performs well in a not so important role yet he makes his presence felt.
The action in The Amazing Spiderman is pure adrenaline rush - in 3D. Manhattan at night , with the spidey suited Peter slinging from the skyscrapers is pure joy! .. though I would still prefer The Avengers this year!
Marc Webb of (500) Days of Summer fame , was given an oppurtunity to re-boot a successfull fan boy character and he has achieved outstanding results here !
The screenplay is terrific , hardcore super hero , wild , heart pounding , warm!
The background score takes the film to another zone!
The sling is taut , the slinging is pure magic in 3D!
Andrew Garfield is perfectly picked - with power comes responsibility & how!
Go for it .. an enthralling web slinging ride !
Rating : 3.5/5.0

I am a bit skeptical about the movie. I would prefer to watch Ice Age and Dark Knight instead.
Its not done that well and there is was not much connection with the audience since it was a reboot!
