The Amazing Spider-Man - 蜘蛛人:驚奇再起
The Amazing Spider-Man (蜘蛛人:驚奇再起) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. The movie is an reboot of the previous Spider-Man trilogy. Although the movie did not fare as well box office wise, an sequel is in the works with essentially the same creative team.
Andrew Garfield plays Peter Parker, a high school nerd that gets an internship at Oscorp. It is there that he bumps into Gwen Stacey, played by Emma Stone, an classmate from school. On his very first day there, he is bitten by a spider, a radioactive spider. You know the story, Peter is transformed the next morning and has magical spider like powers like sticking to walls and great agility. Eventually, his self discovery leads to selfishness and Uncle Ben pays the price. Enter his work at the Oscorp lab, where the Lizard is created, he fights this reptilian to death. And maybe gets the gal.
This movie was very entertaining. I don't know how many times I've seen the Spidey origin story told. Comics, cartoons, television, and now movies. I bet there have been other ways that escape my dull mind now. That said, the film had great acting, well paced story sprinkled with lots of action. I will be watching this again for sure.
