The good news: the cast was wonderful. Sally Field and Martin Sheen as Aunt May and Uncle Ben were great picks for Peter's family. I am a big fan of Andrew Garfield and thought he had a sheepish and appealing smile. Although he is twenty-eight, he was believable as a high school student. Emma Stone portrayed his girlfriend Gwen, who is actually was first girlfriend in the comics. The story starts with Peter as a little boy just as his parents are escaping from danger. The who and what of the danger is unknown the and now. The flashback was an effective way to start the film, however, I thought the first hour of the movie dragged in places. Spider-Man evolves into a crime fighting super hero wanted by the police. He does battle with a Giant Lizard who once was Dr. Curt Connors, his father's partner in cross genetics research. We saw the movie in 3D and it was worth the money to watch Spidey swinging from crane to crane in the Big
Apple. All in all, a pleasant way to spend a hot afternoon - sitting in the air conditioned darkness wearing 3D glasses rooting for Spider-Man. I felt like a kid again.
