When i first saw this film at the cinema i actually didnt like it. Toby Mcguire was my Spidermam and the Lizard was one of my favourite Spiderman villians but i didn't like his portrayal in this film. Over the years and also following Spiderman No Way Home, i revisted Amazing Spiderman and its actually a darn good film. The first half is definitely my favourite as the last quarter goes a bit silly with The Lizard trying to turn the city into reptiles. The Lizard's portrayal in this film was actually really good for the most part, not a huge fan of his physical appearance in regards to his face, as I wish they gave him more of a protruding nose/mouth than just flat like they did... but anyway, still visually impressive. Andrew Garfield did an alright job playing Spiderman / Peter Parker but he is just a bit too overly emotional for me, particularly the end.
He was certainly funny and a lot more physical with the comedy than what Toby McGuire was, but hes still not may favourite Spiderman. Visually this film is a stunner! I watched it on 4K Bluray and the colours and clarity are reference quality - if you like superheros and have a 4K TV this is a film to get and show off your hardware.
Final Verdict: Action packed, funny, great CGI and a good villian. I could of done without ANOTHER origin story and i don't think Andrew Garfield is as good a Peter Parker as Toby McGuire was, but otherwise, its a great Spiderman film! Check it out.
