The Amazing Spider-Man (3D)

Leaping lizards and alligators in the sewers, the Spidey reboot is on and swinging big time into your local theaters. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are excellent choices as the leads and fit their comic book character images. Martin Sheen and Sally Field were hired for their acting talents rather than for any resemblences. Alien was disappointed in the absence of a J.Jonah Jameson presence. This darker than the Sam Raimi trilogy reads truer to the comic book origins. Alien liked the story set up and insight to how Peter Parker got and learned to handle his new powers. The marvelous special effects with a keen sense of humor will thrill and entertain the audiences. The web slinging action is enhanced in 3D. Dr.Curt Connor aka the Lizard is the villain de jour. Be sure to stay for the credits to see a tease to what might be in stored next for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Stan Lee gets his best cameo appearance yet.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "zero zero decay rate algorthim" stars out of 4.
