Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today.

Leave your thoughts about The Amazing Spider-Man.
| We Got This CoveredJonathan LackThe Amazing Spider-Man may be a reboot, but it feels entirely fresh thanks to a strong, different interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos and tremendous performances from the excellent ensemble. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleI was 100% against this reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, but I was 100% wrong. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekIt accepts that there are thousands of people in Hollywood who can wield CGI like Harry Potter's wand, so why not put the next chapter of Spider-Man in the hands of someone who's more comfortable with humans than with computers? |
| TIME MagazineMary F. PolsNone of this is new to us, but Garfield and Webb make it feel convincingly fresh and exciting. |
| Observer (UK)Jason SolomonsFor all its action sequences and swoops and swings, I found it hard to get remotely excited by The Amazing Spider-Man. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsNot just a reboot - it's a rejuvenation. From the first image of sensory awakening to the final acceptance of adult responsibility, it pulses with the warm blood of a very human hero. |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA spectacular, satisfying summer blockbuster offering the perfect air-conditioned escape from the sweltering heat wave. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Devin FaraciThe only thing amazing about this movie is how badly it goes off the rails. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireSam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 still reigns as the supreme Spider-Man movie adventure, but Marc Webb's energized reboot The Amazing Spider-Man has its own set of attractive super powers. |
| Christianity TodayAlissa WilkinsonThankfully, Webb's Peter Parker/Spider-Man is played by Andrew Garfield (whom you last saw in The Social Network), who is fully up to the task. |
