Curt Connors/the Lizard as alternately sympathetic and detestable at times we're led to believe that he had a hand in the death of Peter's parents years earlier (played by Campbell Scott and Embeth Davidtz in a much-ado-about-nothing flashback that feels like something got left on the editing room floor) while at others it's almost as if he and Pete should be opening up their own science lab together. Rhys Ifans plays father figure to Peter and his soon to be enemy Dr. I won't get into those questions here for fear of spoiling things, but suffice to say this film shares a certain sensibility with another of this summer's disappointments, Prometheus. (Even Spidey's wise-cracks themselves are off, either falling flat or oddly playing as more mean-spirited than fun.) The Amazing Spider-Man is almost like a retconned version of Raimi's first film, where the first 30 minutes of origin have been stretched into a two-hour-plus picture, fleshing out details of little consequence, expanding on plot points that the audience has trouble caring about, and not bothering to answer lots of questions that are set up. Stone is impossible not to adore, and while Garfield pours his heart into the hard-knock role of Peter - and seriously, this version of the character really cannot catch a break - his often mopey, teary-eyed riff on Queens' greatest geek doesn't always feel like the wise-cracking Peter Parker we know and love. Play The good news is Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone really spark to one another in their scenes together, which are mainly of the Peter/Gwen variety rather than the Spidey/Gwen type.
