Another Peter Parker and a more "lively" project Sam Raimi's trilogy was good. Each of the three films evokes warm feelings, and you often think about how sorry it is that the fourth picture did not take place. But the story, as you know, is not a termite of the subjunctive mood, and the franchise has been relaunched with new actors and a fresh modern look at Peter Parker and his loved ones. Watching this film, you involuntarily compare the picture with the works of Raimi. For myself, I noted that this film looks much more dynamic and closer to me in spirit, although I love projects with Tobey Maguire quite a lot. Starring Andrew Garfield, it was not easy to compete with the beloved Spider from Sam Raimi, but the young actor made his character absolutely unlike the somewhat tedious and phlegmatic Spider Toby. In the new film adaptation, Parker looks like quite an average teenager who does not have any special problems with his peers, which is so popular to show in various films where a downtrodden schoolboy gets superpowers and gives back to former abusers. Peter Parker in this film is quite like a young man who is no stranger to various problems of guys his age, he is cocky, funny, Parker is just going through a transition period, he happens to be what a teenager of his age can be. The new character Gwen Stacy is especially good here. She is played by the now famous actress, Oscar winner Emma Stone. It was after this film that I discovered the actress. The girl coped with the role perfectly, making her character as different as possible from Mary Jane Watson performed by Kirsten Dunst. Gwen is punchy, cheerful and sometimes flighty. This captivates the viewer and makes a couple of the main characters much more "alive", both in the course of the plot and in general within the framework of the new franchise. Important characters in the life and formation of Peter Parker, as a single hero, Uncle Ben and Aunt May were rejuvenated, which, in my opinion, also benefited the film. The excellent performance of Martin Sheen and Sally Field demonstrated that people of their generation can also be quite modern, much better understanding of teenagers. Frankly, Uncle Ben and Aunt May from Sam Raimi's films were more suitable for Parker as grandparents, which created a certain imbalance. The characters look more appropriate here. I understand that a lot of my perception is based on comparing two different franchises and approaches, but I can't get rid of it. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Each project was created at its own specific time. "The Amazing Spider-Man" followed the time of creation and release after the famous trilogy. For this reason, I'm sure the creators understood that the comparison was inevitable and tried to move away from Raimi's films as much as possible. This attempt was a success, and the world got a different Spider and a whole different Universe. However, it was not without some copying, when the main antagonist becomes a scientist who experiences an untested serum and becomes an evil Lizard. It's very similar to similar transformations in Sam Raimi films. But here you should rather look at comics, the sources of ideas still come from there. Therefore, such metamorphoses do not hurt the eyes. The picture turned out great. The presented story demonstrates how Peter becomes Spider-Man, what an important role the people around him play: uncle and aunt, Gwen, Captain Stacy, Kurt Connors. The film shows how important it is to be able to take responsibility for your actions, to be able to analyze and anticipate the steps of the enemy (Hello to Peter, who left the camera with his full name). The film teaches the viewer to think through possible steps and at the same time learn to be an adult, even if you are just a teenager. The advantage is that in this albeit fantastic story, young viewers can see the consequences of human actions using the example of Parker. After all, it is not enough to have power, you need to be able to bear responsibility for your actions, because the lives of loved ones are at stake. A new film adaptation and a new story, a new film and a new world — director Mark Webb managed to show all this in The Amazing Spider-Man. This picture, as well as the franchise that began as a whole, were able to get out of the shadow of the more than successful Sam Raimi trilogy. At the time of release, and even now, this film looks modern. It is interesting with its presented plot, cool cast, and colorful picture. Of course, this is a successful project that is sure to find its fans. 8 out of 10
