The Amazing Spiderman-A convincing reboot


Film Name: The Amazing Spider Man
Directed by: Mark Webb
Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma stone, Rhys Ifans
        Marvel’s The Amazing Spider Man, a reboot of spider-man legacy directed by Mark Webb. Andrew Garfield Played the role of Peter parker/Spider-Man. Emma Stone played the love interest of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy. Rhys Ifans played the role of Dr.Curt Connors/The Lizard. Martin Sheen, Sally Field and Irfan Khan portrayed as Uncle Ben, Aunt May and Dr.Rajit Ratha respectively.
Peter Parker, a high school student finds his father’s old suitcase and discovers that, it includes the greatest breakthrough in the field of Cross Species Genetics. That Suitcase also contains a photograph of Dr.Curt Connors which leads him to his genetics laboratory at Oscorp Corporation. He accidentally enters a room which has rows of genetically modified spiders and gets bitten by it turning him into the spider-man. After the turn of events, he provides his father’s formulae to Dr. Curt Connors, which could lead to the creation of a drug that can make the humans devoid of weakness. Dr. Curt Connors experiments it on his own body which is devoid of right hand. This experiment changes him into a giant lizard. Can Spider-Man Aka Peter Parker stop connors aka The Lizard? Tells the remaining story of Marvel’s The Amazing Spider Man.

            Mark Webb webbed the characters quite beautifully, especially the Spider-Man’s action mixed with Andrew Garfield’s funny dialogues. The Romance scene between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy was handled pretty well, to say, a scene where Peter asks Gwen out was an instant classic and romantic as well. When she says yes, the immediate scene where Peter skates in an abandoned factory with the musical background was quite a treat. Webb carried his “500 days of summer” all the way to the spidey’s web and pictured it with funny dialogues. When the reboot was announced, I shrunk my eyebrow when I heard that Andrew Garfield will be taking the spidey role. To my astonishment, he blent with the character quite beautifully and it’s nice to see him with a same lanky physique unlike Tobey Mcguire’s dramatic six pack. Also that, Peter Parker was portrayed as a normal high school student unlike an innocent as portrayed in the previous trilogy.
Every super hero movie has a strong back ground that could lead the hero to serve the people. The Amazing spider-man stands tall when compared to the previous trilogy and the story is quite convincing and the mixing of scenes are sublime. My Favourite one is, Mark Webb cuts the scene from the scene where Connors’s hand has been erupting with scales to Peter Parker’s plate with a scaly fish. To add it further, Webb perfectly executed the action sequences and handled the romance scenes pretty nicely.
Since the time space between the last spider-man film and The Amazing Spider-Man is little, we get the feeling that we are watching a sequel even though it has been announced as a fresh reboot. Also, it follows the shadow of previous trilogy yet the changes like, sudden surge of Peter Parker as spider man and the way he acquires fame while pursuing his vengeance is picture perfect and theatrical. Webb scores big for the way he has pictured the emotional scenes which adds to his wallet as one more gold coin.
A convincing reboot falls down only because of one reason, too early to introduce a reboot instead of making the fans to long a bit longer.

Verdict: Mark Webb’s Spidey is better and worth watching when compared to Sam’s Spidey.
