The Amazing Spider-Man (Marc Webb, 2012)
Well, I finally saw it. And I loved it to pieces. Webb brings a little more lifelike vision to life, featuring a slightly more futuristic approach to NYC and a character-driven plot which, quite frankly, perfects the whole thing.
Garfield provides an excellent portrayal of Peter Parker, appropriating the exact characterisation we've been waiting for since Tobey Maguire's satisfactory albeit non-engaging incarnation, and Spidey himself, in addition to being a far more interesting and realistic take on how a 17-year-old would turn himself into a superhero, is remarkably appropriate to how I personally received him when reading the comic books at a young age.
Fantastic, engaging, thought-provoking, emotionally evocative, hilarious, imaginative, captivating...
In a word... amazing.
Still not managed to see it. Some good evidence of research on the blog. Make sure you conduct some textual analysis on your films. Be clear on where this research is heading
