I am not looking the “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies. I will be looking at Andrew Garfields portrayal as Spidey, I will summarise my thoughts on the films. (TASM 1: EXTREMELY UNDERRATED AND INCREDIBLE.) (TASM 2: I ENJOY IT BUT LETS BE HONEST ITS THE WORST SPIDER-MAN FILM, BUT I PERSONALLY PREFER OVER HOMECOMING)
Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire are my personal favourite Spider-Men. I think Andrew doesn’t deserve the hate he receives, and I’ll explain why
ACTING
Andrew is probably the best actor to play Peter Parker, he brings real emotion to the character and he makes you care for him. He acts like a normal teenager. The greatest scene that shows his acting ability, is Gwen Stacys death scene. That scene alone just proves how much of a good actor he is, it’s the most heartbreaking scene out of ALL the Spider-man films.
THE CHARACTER
The character of Peter in these movies is great, he’s an ordinary teenager. People like to complain about the fact that he skateboards, which is stupid. Just because he skateboards doesn’t make him a nerd, nerds aren’t just these stereotypical kids who wear glasses and know everything. The Character of Spider-Man is (as I said before) my favourite Spider-Man. He’s funny, heroic and most importantly, RELATABLE. There’s real stakes in these movies, notice how when Peter is not by the Spider, his life becomes worse. Uncle Ben dies, Captain Stacy dies, Peter is struggling with seeing Gwen because he promised Captain Stacy to not date her, his best friend turns against him, his best friend kills his Girlfriend, Gwen. Peter quits being Spider-Man for quite some time. But returns to defeat The Rhino.
Conclusion
This is in NO WAY disrespecting Tobey Maguire or Tom Holland. I love them both. I enjoy all Spider-Man movies, including the not so good ones, TASM 2 is a movie I can enjoy, yes I know it’s cluttered, but I still love it. Andrew Garfield is a massive fan of Spider-Man, you can tell, and you can tell he CARES.
