The Amazing Spider Man
The Amazing Spider-Man is an American superhero film (like Captain America: The Winter Soldier) released
in 2012. As we all know, this movie is based on the famous Marvel Comics
character “Spider-Man”. The Amazing
Spider Man is the fourth movie of this Spider -Man series, but after the third,
this one starts again from the very beginning of the original story,
thus serving as a reboot. This movie is written by James Vanderbilt, Alvin
Sargent and Steve Kloves, directed by Marc Webb and starred by Andrew Garfield,
Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen
and Sally Field. This movie is released also in 3D.
In The Amazing Spider-Man, we see how Peter Parker becomes the Spider Man, his struggles before and after his transformation and how he faces the villain, Lizard Man.

Plot:
The plot of The Amazing Spider-Man starts when Peter Parker was a kid. One night, in a
hurry, Peter’s father takes Peter to Uncle Ben and Aunt May’s house and leaves him
there taking Peter’s mother with him. They never returned. Their fate was not shown
at that time of the movie.
Peter grew up to a teenager. In his school, he was regularly bullied by some other teens. He always carried a camera with him as he was fond of photography. But one day, some bullies beat him and break his camera when he refuses to take photos of those boys bullying another student. This incident also helps him to earn respect from beautiful Gwen.
One day Peter accidentally discovers his father’s secret
documents. From his uncle Ben, he learns that his father was working with Dr.
Curt Connors of Oscorp and then we see how his parents died. To learn more,
Peter goes to Oscorp and enters there taking the identity of an intern. Then he
sees Gwen from his school is taking the interns to a tour in Oscorp and he
mixes with that team. Soon, with his brilliance, he gets noticed by Dr. Curt
Connors, who, at that time, is working on cross species genetic exchange to
cure the human from different disease. Dr. Connors' target is to cure the head
of Oscorp and also to get his arm back.
Peter gets detached from the intern group and sneaks into a
special lab, where he gets bitten by some exceptional type of spiders. His suspicious
activities get caught by Gwen and she throws him away from the group. While returning
home, he starts to feel his extraordinary abilities.
Soon Peter learns to control and use his new abilities and teaches the bullies at his school a lesson. Peter also meets Dr. Connors in his house and gives him some clue (which he has found from his father’s research) to complete his unfinished research. Peter gives Dr. Connors his identity and starts to help him with his research, which finally brings the success to regenerate an arm of a mouse. But after returning, Peter gets scolded by his uncle Ben for forgetting his responsibility. Angrily, Peter leaves the house and his uncle follows to search for him. In a store, he meets a thief who helps him, but accidentally kills uncle Ben. Peter finds the body of his uncle. Peter also realizes that it was him, who saw the thief stealing and had let him go. Later on, police gave him some clues about that thief.
Peter starts to beat up criminals to find that thief. From a painting on a gym’s wall, he gets inspired to make a costume. He makes that costume and also creates some kind of machine to shoot web from his wrist.
In the meantime, Dr. Connors’ boss pressures him to apply
his newly found serum on human. When Dr. Connors rejects, his boss threatens
him that he will shut down the whole project and also says, Peter’s father also
didn’t agree to test his medicine on human. Out of desperation, Dr. Connors
applies the serum on himself and turns into a big human-lizard.
Peter goes to Gwen’s house to attend her invitation and
finds that, Gwen’s father is the police chief, who is looking for spider-man. They
both had a little argument on the dinner table. After the dinner, Peter reveals
his identity (as spider-man) to Gwen and they kiss. Then he hears police siren
and Gwen’s dad rushes to a bridge where the lizard-man attacks. Peter also
rushes there and saves some people.
On the next few days, Peter does some research and finds a
possible hiding place of the lizard-man in the sewer. He then fights the
lizard, but loses and escapes from there. Peter tells the police chief about
the identity of the lizard-man, but he doesn’t trust him completely. The lizard
man (Dr. Connors) learns Spider-Man’s identity from his camera and attacks his
school to stop him, but Spider-Man again saves the students. Later, he finds the plan of the lizard-man,
that is, to use a special machine of Oscorp to convert all the people of the
city to a stronger version of human, i.e., lizard-man.
The next part of the movie is about the plan of the
lizard-man and the attempts of the spider-man to stop him.
My Review about The Amazing Spider-Man:
First of all, I liked The Amazing Spider-Man. Although I didn’t find it
mind-blowing or extra-ordinary amazing, but I still liked it.
The plot of The Amazing Spider-Man is simple and pretty predictable. Almost all of us know
the story of Spider-Man, like what happened to his uncle, how he got transformed
etc, and this movie gives no surprise. The ending is also very predictable.
The dialogues are okay, not bad or nothing special. I didn’t
like the acting of Andrew Garfield in The
Amazing Spider-Man. I mean, his acting was not bad at all, but to
me, he seemed too smart to be a kid who is regularly being bullied by his
classmates. Here I missed Tobey Maguire, who’s innocent (and sometimes,
confused) face and beautiful acting matched perfectly with the character he was
playing in Spider-Man (part 1). The acting of all other characters of The
Amazing Spider-Man were also
good, but again I missed beautiful Kirsten
Dunst. I’m not complaining about the artists here, I just missed the old ones.
The make-ups are
good, except for the lizard-man. To me, it looked funny, not the image of a scary
villain. Here in The Amazing Spider-Man the villain is not evil, his intentions were not bad, but harmful
and wrong. He himself is a tragic hero.
The special effects are very good in The Amazing Spider-Man. Specially, the
continuous shot in the action scene in the school where the Spider-Man was
running over the lizard all around it trying to put it in nets looked awesome. All
other flying and action scenes also looked beautiful.
At the last parts of the The Amazing Spider-Man, I was really hoping to see
some more lizards after the lizard -man used gas on some police, but there was
nothing like that. I think it could be a good addition to the movie.
To all Spider-Man fans, The Amazing Spider-Man should come as a big
relief after the last part (part 3) of the previous Spider-Man series, the series which started with an amazing movie but kept getting worse at each sequel.
If you think after watching pervious three movies, there is
nothing new to watch in The Amazing Spider-Man, you’ll make a wrong guess. There are a lot
of differences in this movie with the previous one. For example, The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man doesn’t enjoy public fame like the previous one, here he doesn’t
have a photo-journalism career, here webs doesn’t come out of his hands, he
makes an electronics device for that and here he hunts criminals for his personal
vendetta, not to help people. In this movie, most of the Spider-Man’s moves are
also different.
In my judgment, between Spider-Man (part one) and The
Amazing Spider-Man, I’ll keep Spider-Man (part 1) on top. But The Amazing
Spider-Man has a great potential and I’m looking forward to enjoy The Amazing
Spider-Man 2.
Whatever, The Amazing Spider-Man is still a nice movie. An IMDB rating of 7.1
supports it. By watching this movie, I felt my time nicely spent. If you are a Spider-Man
fan or a superhero movie fan, I’d recommend The Amazing Spider-Man to you.
