The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 Marc Webb)

Fairly faithful to the Lee-Ditko original story, and proving that the wearing of a silly outfit does not stop you giving a great performance (Andrew Garfield). (Though the fact he has to overpower physically the bully Flash to make him respect him is not very helpful.) Good cast: Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Sally Field, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Irrfan Khan.

Rather too much giant Lizard stuff though. Written by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent and Steve (Harry Potter) Kloves. Webb made 500 Days of Summer.
