The Amazing Spiderman 2012


     Peter Parker’s parents leave suddenly and he grows up with his Aunt and Uncle.  As a teenager he wonders why his parents never came back and has problems at school with a bully.  He finds his Father’s briefcase in the basement and it has a folder inside.  Peter does some Internet research and discovers that his Father’s partner, Dr. Curt Connors, works at the Oscorp lab.  Peter goes to visit Dr. Connors and he’s surprised to find a girl in his class, Gwen Stacy, she is a research assistant.
     He has a choice of two paths to take after being bitten by a lab spider and given strength along with spider characteristics.  He can lay low and have fun with these powers or he can help people in the city with crime.  A lot of action along with some serious scenes.  This film establishes the groundwork for Spiderman 2014.  Interesting enough to keep your attention.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 75% critic 81% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
