There came a time where Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment made the decision to move away from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and reboot the film series. Directed by Marc Webb and written by James Vanderbilt, The Amazing Spider-Man is the superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and sharing the title of the character's longest-running comic book series of the same name. Luke and Jae revist the 2012 Spider-Man film which returned to the beginning, gave us Andrew Garfield as our new Peter Parker, and promised to deliver an untold story. Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field fulfill supporting roles. Abandoned by his parents and raised by his aunt and uncle, teenager Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), AKA Spider-Man, is trying to sort out who he is and exactly what his feelings are for his first crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). When Peter finds a mysterious briefcase that was his father's, he pursues a quest to solve his parents' disappearance. His search takes him to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), setting him on a collision course with Connors' alter ego, the Lizard.
