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.

    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?

    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.

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

    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 ge... read moret to it!

    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.

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