The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.





The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Denis Leary, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The film's scheduled to swing into theatres July 3, 2012.

Very encouraging! However, we should remember that most early reactions are always going to be good. But still, very encouraging!

What are the haters going to say now?
"Oh, they were totally paid off by Sony!"

OR

"Uh...well...um...I always thought it could be good...I just didn't want to..uh...jinx anything.."

OR

"OVERRATED!!"

I'm pumped! What little anxiety I had is starting to disappear. I wonder if that means that that rumor about the Sony execs not liking it was BS.

@ Prot3ctor
I HIGHLY doubt it'll break the billion mark.
For some reason I suspect this to do only slightly better than X-Men: First Class or Thor.
Because a lot of people still are against it.

@CrimsonArk There was also a rumor that a studio exec said Avengers wasn't "cinematic" enough. Look at how true that turned out lol. I wouldn't worry about rumors like that.

@ blueberryicedcoffee
See, proof that no matter how successful and acclaimed this movie will be, there will still be people who blindly crap talk it. You know why the reason for that is? Maybe she doesn't have many followers. Which this was a few hours ago, so these probably aren't updated.

Honestly, if that Sony exec rumor was true, I would actually think of that as a good sign. I mean, they loved Spidey 3, so them hating this one would seem like a good sign to me lol.

Did any critics attend that screening? Because if not we'll have reviews by June 29th for sure.
And like CBM said, there will be more and more reviews pouring in. And if they all have the same things to say, then that must account for something. Because of it was really mediocre then there should be some people speaking out against it.

rockerdude22 - 6/8/2012, 9:47 PM
@blueberryicedcoffee Why yes, I am. By the way, you didn't almost vote me off. You're the only one who voted for that. Everyone else voted against it because, quite frankly, it was stupid and I'm a respectable user. But whatever, people like you never learn.

@ TheAmazingHipsterMan
Would there be any critics that could pop on RottenTomatoes?
Like from one of the smaller movie review cites? Not a top critic or anything.
Also, do you know if it was shown in 3D?

I'm still not drinking the kool aid. I remember all the amazing pre-screening Tron Legacy twitter reviews I read, and that movie ended up being pretty forgettable.
I will see this movie while firmly on the fence.

@ TH3TRUTH007
Can you people please shut up about TDKR?
I'm so sick of it being mentioned in EVERY SINGLE movie comment section.
This is about TASM, not TDKR. Stop constant toy comparing them, it becomes annoying months ago.

God, I hate typing on an andriod:( the keys are so freaking sensitive,

@blueberryicedcoffee Do you even have to ask? People like you who troll on a movie's board for months saying how much another movie will beat it and bashing other users who don't agree with your opinions. But whatever. Why am I even wasting my time? I'm here to talk about Spidey, not debate with you.

@CrimsonArk dude its not even real im just talkin about the financial aspect of it but if I hurt your feeling you can go watch twilight and get your emotions in check

TDKR is so dead
rockerdude22
rockerdude22 - 6/8/2012, 10:02 PM
Guys, this article is about TASM, not TDKR. Let's keep it that way, lest we start any more flame wars.

If it really is that good and by some divine intervention Marvel gets the rights back, they should just incorporate this movie and its sequel into the MCU.

I hated what Rami did with Spidey and Toby just got on my tits,tottaly miscast...have high hopes for this

Andrew is perfect for this role. He is humble and recognizes the symbolic reverance of this character tobey never did.

DAMN IT, I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! *Throws $7 at screen* WHY NOTHING'S HAPPENING!!

In all serious, I think I'll like this more then The Avengers
rockerdude22
rockerdude22 - 6/8/2012, 10:06 PM
I liked Spidey 1 and 2, didn't like the 3rd. Here's hoping this gets the series back on track.

@ TH3TRUTH007
No, I'm tired of people constantly bringing up TDKR in every one of these articles and talking about how it's going to beat it. Yeah, it probably will, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the better movie. No one knows. I want this movie to be good, do I think it will be? I don't know until I actually see the entire thing. So I'm not going to say TASM is better than TDKR considering I haven't seen either. It just frustrates me to see people say TDKR will be better no matter, more so than the other way around, because TDK fanboys typically sound like elitist douches who think they have a superior taste in movies than everyone else, and constantly go out of their way to bash any movie that could potentially threaten it.

Actually, if they're having a press screening this early, this most likely means they have a lot of confidence in this! Another good sign!
rockerdude22
rockerdude22 - 6/8/2012, 10:11 PM
If what these reactions say is true, this may very well be another one of those "I told you so" movies. Kinda like First Class last year.

I have definite high hopes for this. It looks promising and better than Raimis super-flawed Spider-Man series. Can't wait to see more reactions/reviews for it

This movie always had a good pedigree. Writer of Zodiac, director of 500 Days of Summer. Most people don't know anything about those films.

I fkn knew it






Everyone need to take a step back with bashing TASM and TDKR because this will probably be the best year for CBM ever.

Spider-man will trump all!!!!! Lets hope they change the suit for the sequel. The eyes need to be white!!

Prot3ctor@ Sorry to break it to you, but TDKR isn't gonna do that kind of business lol It certainly won't be breaking a ton of records. It'll be lucky to even get CLOSE to the number 5-6 slot on all-time, and that's being optimistic. having said that, when Spidey 1 first came out, it was literally one of THE most anticipated movies EVER! It broke records for the time, but still isn't on the all-time list anymore! ASM (as great as I think it looks) won't be a game changer either. I see it being more confusing to the general public than anything, AND they've seen it already before not too long ago.

still not buying this un-necessary reboot. sorry to break it to you though i'm a huge Spidey fan i am totally avoiding this film and i'm not the only one who'se thinking of the same thing. lol
