Sam Raimi's Spiderman movies were excellent (No 3 was a tad under cooked) and they made me feel like I wanted to swing the streets with Spidey every bit as much as when I was a kid. But, I did miss those home made web slingers. They aren't exactly DIY in this movie, but they're back. And this tips you off to what makes this Marc WEBB (can you believe it?) film even better than Raimi's. We get to see more of the other side of Parker, his scientific genius and the background that fed it. The alternative story arcs for Spidey's creation and development are also beautifully original and entertaining. They've also taken Doc Connors to way beyond his Raimi cameos and hinted at not only sequels but the re-appearance of a villain who is much more resilient than Raimi's movies would have us believe. Everything about this movie says "More please". And (Webb willing) that is exactly what we'll get.

As a die hard Marvel fan i was looking forward to the Amazing Spiderman at my local cinema which happens to be an IMAX.

The film is based mainly around the original story but with a few new twists. Andrew Garfield nails it as Spiderman bringing fresh humour to the story, not convinced by Emma Stone though.

I was a little let down by the IMAX not convinced by the SXF. The 3D seemed non existent at times.

All in all a good begining to new Spiderman films and worth the trip to the big screen. Look forward to the next instalment! ☺

Awesome movie, especially when you watch it in IMAX 3D. If you are crazy about VFX and Sound effects, then this is a movie for you.
If you haven't read comics or if you haven't seen the various versions of Spidey cartoons and if you are hesitating just because you cannot decide if this one is any different than the older Spidey movies, then leave all your thoughts at home and just go for it. This is a different generation of Spider-man, where the story base is a lil' different than the older versions. While previous Spider-man was a bit serious (all 3 movies were great), this one has a humorous side. Kids will luv this as well the adults. Awesome VFX and sound effects. And yes it has good 3D effects , so worth watching in IMAX 3D.
