The Amazing Spiderman
Released: 03/07/2012
General release
Five years is a long time in Hollywood, apparently long enough for us to have forgotten about Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire's acrobatic kisses and gear up for a new Spiderman franchise. (500) days of Summer director Marc Webb gets Andrew Garfield to squeeze into the lycra onesie as his Peter Parker, discovering the fate of his parents and harnessing his inner arachnid.

Film4“From the moment Spider bites Man, this new take comes alive...” It doesn't quite justify the full-on reboot in the way - say - Batman Begins did, but this is a bold new direction that should open up Spider-Man's appeal to a fresh audience...

Little White Lies“There’s a new Webb-slinger in town – and he’s here to stay...” A major success story. Webb’s film stands comparison with Raimi’s, but does so much more than that, too. It creates its own mythology, its own magic, and it’s own future. Spider-Man is dead. Long live Spider-Man...

The Independent“You can tell Garfield's a Brit underneath...” Instead of Maguire's sleepy-eyed charm, Andrew Garfield gives us a nervy mumbler whose loneliness you can read in his eyes...

Time Out“A smart job of making a snappy blockbuster...” The action sequences are gripping and have a bouncy, parkour-style giddiness to them. Spidey is the ultimate New York superhero, and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ is full of nods to the city’s movie heritage. Soft, yes, but also satisfying…

Guardian“A terrific performance from Andrew Garfield...” Treads a fine line between keeping the hardcore superhero-movie fans happy and injecting a dose of meaningful affect. It's the successul synthesis of the two – action and emotion – that means this Spider-Man is as enjoyable as it is impressive...

Empire“Peter goes through rites of passage here...” Graced with great performances from Garfield and Stone, The Amazing Spider-Man is a rare comic-book flick that is better at examining relationships than super heroism. An enjoyable origin story to live comfortably alongside the Raimi era...

The Telegraph“Twilight in spandex?” Raimi’s films were for the teenage boys who used to dress up in Spider-Man pyjamas; Webb’s is for girls whose other halves may soon be dressing up in Spider-Man pyjamas for their benefit...

Total Film “Spider-Man re-begins in style...” Gets enough right to sign us up for a sequel, not least a thrilling climactic blast-off. More confident than the last, this Parker is slick on a skateboard and not shy about standing up to Flash Thompson. The geek just got chic...
