The Amazing Spider-Man. Dir. Marc Webb, 2012.

I went to see this movie with my roommate B and we both enjoyed it a lot. Although I have very clear memories of watching the first Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire ten years ago - we went to an opening day screening - and I had no real intention of shelling out more money until I read a bunch of reviews that said that the movie is pretty fun. Well, they were right.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are both pretty good actors, and they're cute and good together as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey (I am universally informed that they are also dating in real life). Although [personal profile] cleolinda posted that there was a whole other movie that got overwritten, I didn't actually notice any of the plot holes that she points out while I was watching the movie. The CG is mostly well done, I liked the supporting actors (particularly Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Peter's uncle and aunt), and overall it was just really enjoyable.
