This Spider weaves deep webs

Writing a review after a really long time... Rusty fingers Eh..

If you are not a fan of the other spidey movies like me... then u are gonna love this movie and even if you are a fan, you still might like the movie. To tell u the truth Andrew Garfield as Spiderman looked lame misfit to me in the trailers as Toby seemed to have more mysterious personality which suited the portrayal of a nerdy confused Peter Parker. But I was pleasantly surprised with Andrew's performance as he added depth and silent charm with his personality and solid acting . 





Its the same old story of a young nerd who is bullied and his journey after being bitten by a spider, punishing bullies to finally saving the world, but each frame still feels so different that it feels refreshingly original. Despite being familiar with the premise, I still watched with full attention. Infact the movie starts with background to Peter Parker's early life and story of his parents which was good way to start a already know plot. Yes, its a little slow paced compared to fast paced action packed previous spidey movies, but at the same time much more mature & grown up portrayal of the spiderlike superhero


Andrew Garfield plays the character with a silent charisma and a lot of emotional depth and unlike Toby, this Peter Parker is not as nerdy as shown in previous movies. Infact in opening 10 mins i was wondering where the trademark Peter nerd Spectacles were. Emma stone as Gwen is way better a girlfriend portrayal than a icy expression-ed Kirsten Dunst. Their chemistry is sparkling and you want them to be together. Especially the scenes where he shares his secret and uses the web to catch her and swivel her towards him or the scene when he looks into her eyes before he throws her out of school window to catch her n save her. Don't wait for Irfaan's character with baited breath... he will be off screen before u know it


Its no avengers w.r.t action but still worth your time. Watch it for charming chemistry of the leads and Garfield's new approach to Peter Parker role. If this was facebook i'd say "LIKE"
