The Amazing Spider-man

Boring and passionless, the only thing amazing about this film is that it made me dislike Spider-man.  Director Marc Webb gets a few things right, namely the web shooting and swinging, but we also get a Peter Parker that is often stupid and obnoxious, terribly erratic and sluggish pacing, and an under-developed villain;  there's just not enough good  here to earn a recommendation, and there's certainly enough bad to earn my disdain. 

Go see The Avengers again, or save your money for The Dark Knight Rises.
