Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero. -- (C) Sony

A superb looking re-boot, Andrew, do us proud, please.

Yes, I want to and probably will see this, but I help can't but ask...WHY? 2002's Spider-man was excellent. Why tell the same story twice?
Mike S

Don't fix what ain't broken. Five words that summarizes the idea of this reboot. Granted that Spiderman 3 was a real letdown, but I just don't think it'll be the same without Raimi and McGuire. Oh well, I guess only time will tell.
Jason R

Andrew Garfield is my hero. In fact, he's my super-hero.
Douglas W C

Not sure if this will be as good as the first 3, hopefully still kid friendly.

Of course, it's Spider-man. You guys have some of the best source material on the planet at your fingertips, so don't screw this one up. Don't worry about re-inventing the wheel either; Spider-Man has been doing well for over 40 years without any new hair brained ideas. Now… More

no but in 2 years, who knows?
Kevin M

I seriously doubt this will be nearly as good as the original. I was very skeptical about this when first hearing about it, but now that I've seen the 2nd trailer I think it'll be pretty fun. Oh, and of course the directors last name is Webb.

The more I see about this movie, the better it looks!
Eddie C

I'm convinced that "The Amazing Spider-Man" will do for "Spider-Man" what "Batman Begins" has done for "Batman".

Let's hope it is better than the third one.."and yes, whitey has to be white..he was in the comic..what if a white guy played Mortal Kombat's Jax, or Black Panther..would it be racist or wrong?"
Giovanni C

It's a must see for me. Since this actually follows everything that the comic book has to offer, it will look darker than the first three Spider-Man movie, especially the third one because that one was a let down. So let's hope we don't see any Emo Parker on this one.
Noah N

No! It's too early! You people are to early! Take it back, take it back!!! :O
Jim W

Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, hmm, does that mean Peter Parker will have a nutty cousin named Charlie ? .
Jonny C

I hope the fourth Spiderman will be a great improvement to the crappy third.
Matthew A

Too bad it got postponed, and Sam Raimi and Tobey McQuire quit it. I wonder what happens to this franchise from this point on. I hope whoever takes over does just as good job.
Lee K

should be interesting to see who the villains are in this one?
kawai d

Kirsten Dunst is in this? So is spider-man going against Lobo or something? OH WAIT.
Timothy O

There's a reason that these stories are comic books. They weren't substantive enough to be movies in the first place. And if you knew some of Toby's history (I can tell you), you'd laugh.
Janice :

I love Spiderman, but Sam Raimi... is officially CRAZY! Why in the world would he decide to make a 4th film when the 3rd film, let's admit it - SUCKED. I hope for Raimi's life this is good.
