The Amazing Spider-Man Ratings & Reviews
- Manuel Frangis15 April 2025I just watched The Amazing Spider-Man, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This is one of those movies that really stuck with me. It takes a story we all know and gives it a new voice — one that feels more personal, a little darker, and a lot more emotional. Andrew Garfield’s version of Peter Parker is different from the others, and that is exactly why I love it. It feels raw, honest, and real. Right from the beginning, the tone of this movie feels more grounded. It is not just about a teenager getting powers. It is about grief, responsibility, and figuring out how to move forward when everything feels like it is falling apart. Peter is not perfect. He is angry, hurt, and searching for something. And that makes him easier to connect with. He is not trying to be a hero — he is trying to understand who he is and what he is supposed to do with the life he has. Andrew Garfield is incredible in this role. He brings a quiet intensity to Peter that makes every scene feel real. He is awkward, smart, and a little lost, but there is so much heart behind his performance. You can feel every emotion he is going through. When he is swinging through the city, it is exciting. When he is just trying to talk to someone or deal with loss, it is heartbreaking. He nails both sides of Peter Parker. Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy is just as strong. She is smart, independent, and not just there to be the love interest. The chemistry between her and Garfield is one of the best parts of the movie. Their scenes together feel natural. You believe their connection, and that makes everything that happens between them matter even more. It is not forced romance — it is something that builds and feels earned. The origin story is handled with care. We have seen it before, but this one brings a different energy. It focuses more on Peter’s parents and adds a mystery element that gives the story a fresh angle. Uncle Ben still plays a huge role, and his presence is felt even after he is gone. The way Peter starts to become Spider-Man feels more personal in this version. He is not just reacting to one event. He is growing, learning, and trying to find purpose. The Lizard as the villain works well for this story. Dr. Curt Connors is not just evil for the sake of being evil. He has a goal, and there is a sadness to him that fits the overall tone of the film. The visual effects are strong, and the action scenes are intense without feeling over the top. The way Spider-Man moves feels unique, and the camera work during the swinging scenes is really satisfying. I give The Amazing Spider-Man 5 out of 5 stars because it gives us a version of Peter Parker that feels real. It is emotional, thoughtful, and full of heart. It is not just about being a superhero. It is about finding your place, learning from your mistakes, and choosing to help others even when it is hard. Overall The Amazing Spider-Man is a powerful and personal take on a familiar story. It may not be flashy in every moment, but it is honest, emotional, and unforgettable. It reminded me why I love Spider-Man so much.
- Israel Emmanuel2 days agoI like it.
- Matthew13 October 2025Good movie, forgot how weird the entire lizard guy arc is
- shikairo6 April 2026i remember when gwen stacy was asking peter parker, who are you and peter parker said, im the amazing spider-man and i lost my fucking shit
- Danny Potter-Jones26 August 2025Good Spiderman but not a good Peter. Nothing wrong with a different take on Peter but it wasn't for me but I do recommend all the Spiderman films.
- GemsDoesWatch22 August 2025Super underrated! I love this movie!
- Splitvision8927 March 2026Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans are great version of the characters they play. Very grounded version of The Spider-Man story.
- Skittlesx15 March 2026The Amazing Spider-Man really has a lot going for it. I love how it dives into the character’s depth and introduces the Lizard in a way that feels grounded and personal. That said, I think fans sometimes put it on too high a pedestal—as much as I respect Andrew Garfield, he feels like an older version of Spider-Man. I’m actually biased toward Tom Holland, who brings more of that teenage energy. Still, I appreciate that this film offers a different angle—there’s real emotional weight, and the story stands out. In the end, it’s a solid film, even if I don’t see it as the definitive Spider-Man.
- mickerdoo4 August 2025Really should've been worse considering villain choice. Stone and Leary were a huge help. Liked the neighborhood rallying around Spider-Man.
- Harish Cousal7 December 2025A stylish reboot with strong emotional beats. Andrew brings a fresh, grounded Spider-Man, even if the story plays things safe.
- Godertzz9 November 2025"Hey Parker" "Not today Flash" Classic movie scene
- The Whispering Pop26 August 2025Coming from Toby Maguire Spider-Man and watching this one , we can somehow link nostalgia with a fresh story and still maintaining the roots. Overall I believe it's a very good movie for a fan of the marvel universe or even comics , although even for a non reader/fan the actors performance justify watching it. Great one 👌
- Barry Jones24 July 2025Andrew Garfield swings into the Spider-Man role with style in this fresh reboot of the iconic Marvel hero. The plot is simple and easy to follow, reintroducing Peter Parker’s origin with a more grounded, modern twist. Rather than feeling like a repeat of the past, it brings its own emotional weight and depth, especially through Peter’s search for the truth about his parents. One of the major highlights is the suit design — sleek, sharp, and arguably one of the best Spidey suits on screen. It gives Spider-Man a faster, more agile look that fits Garfield’s build and the film’s tone perfectly. The humour is well-balanced — not overdone, but just enough to remind us why Spider-Man is known for his witty banter. Garfield’s performance is charismatic and layered, bringing both vulnerability and confidence to Peter Parker. Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) brings real chemistry and intelligence to the story, while Dennis Leary (Captain Stacy) offers a grounded, serious counterbalance. Rhys Ifans also delivers a solid performance as Dr. Connors/The Lizard, giving the villain depth and a touch of tragedy. With great performances, smooth pacing, and stunning visuals, The Amazing Spider-Man delivers a stylish, emotionally resonant take on the web-slinger — perfect for both new viewers and longtime fans.
- Lucas Magreta3 July 2025this is amazing. has one of the best spider man villans as the villan. A.K.A lizard. this is the start of a new spider man franchise. with Andrew garfeild
- Kristian Odland30 July 2025Watching this immediately after Sam Raimi's spidey trilogy hurts this movie more than it helps. I still love Andrew Garfield's take on Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy. But there isn't much of a plot here, and it always leaves me wanting a little more.
