It won’t ever rank as one of the best Spider-Man movies, but The Amazing Spider-Man is definitely better than most people give it credit for.
The larger point is that the general profile of The Amazing Spider-Man supersedes its actual content, and there is actually a whole lot to like about the movie – thus making it the most underrated Spider-Man feature.
The movie also does a far superior job compared to its predecessor highlighting the technical genius of Peter Parker.
Even stylistically there are aspects of the film on which MCU Spider-Man director Jon Watts should take notes.
