What is it? Andrew Garfield is the teenage superhero, only a decade after Tobey Maguire first starred in the role. Rhys Ifans is the villain.
What we said: “Over two hours you may not experience superpowers but you will certainly feel a little déjà vu as the film ticks off many familiar tropes. This is not the Amazing Spider-Man, it’s the Reheated Spider-Man with some of the interesting awkwardness wiped off. It’s not as much fun as The Avengers, nor is it as stylistically interesting as Batman. Next time Spider-Man weaves his web, let’s hope it’s more intriguingly tangled.”
Extras: Deleted scenes, commentary.
