Peter Parker is an outcast high schooler abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. 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, his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A moody superhero origin story that dwells as much on Peter Parker's emotional confusion and loss as it does on action spectacle. The film balances intimate character moments with high-stakes superhero sequences, creating a story about a lonely teenager discovering both power and purpose.

Reviews
nostalgia can carry a film, no less a dogshit film so far.
do i care about this peter? do i care about gwen? do i care about captain stacy? do i care about the lizard?..........no.
genuinely such a nothing film, not much to say and honestly i don't really care. really just one of the victims of the dark knight trilogy where everything has no personality what so ever.
andrew garfield doesn't even deliver a good performance.(watch my feature film <a href="https://boxd.it/cQ1mBp">boxd.it/cQ1mBp</a> )
