After Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, he gains newfound, spider-like powers and ventures out to save the city from the machinations of a mysterious reptilian foe.

It is the fourth theatrical Spider-Man film, a reboot of the series following Sam Raimi's 2002–2007 Spider-Man trilogy, and the first of the two The Amazing Spider-Man films.

It received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Garfield's performance, Webb's direction, visual effects, score, and the realistic re-imagining and portrayal of the title character.

Garfield and Ifans reprised their roles in the MCU film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) which dealt with the concept of the multiverse and linked that franchise to the Raimi and Webb installments.

MIX UP REVIEWS:


Jan (Age 10) - ★★★★

"It was a pretty good movie. I enjoyed it. It was a little bit dramatic though (that's probably the only reason it's four stars not five stars.)
