Critic Reviews
“The Amazing Spider-Man may be a reboot, but it feels entirely fresh
thanks to a strong, different interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos and
tremendous performances from the excellent ensemble.”
– We Got This Covered
“Garfield is in his element, a moody teenager churning with angst and
anger.”
– Movie Talk
“If you can get over the feeling that this is all very familiar, this
superhero flick is a winner – nailing both the impressive action and the
touching personal beats.”
