New Delhi: Directed by Marc Webb, 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is based on the endeavours of the Marvel Comics' superhero Spider-Man. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko had collaborated to create the character of Super-Man.
The fourth film in the 'Spider Man' franchise is a reboot of the earlier films. Andrew Garfield has replaced Toby Maguire in the latest film. The rest of the cast includes Emma Stone, Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans. The film also has Indian actor Irrfan in an important role. Irrfan is not new to Hollywood films; previously he was seen in Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
The basic storyline of the film features a socially outcast Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) who discovers the truth about his parents. Peter also explores about his super powers during the process. His high school crush Gwen Stacy is played by Emma Stone. A chance encounter with a genetically altered spider changes his life. Soon, he is pitted against Dr Curtis Connors who is also known as the Lizard.
Martin Sheen and Sally Field play Parker's well-meaning uncle and aunt, who do their best to keep him from doing wrong things.
In one of his interviews, Andrew Garfield said that he didn't find the role very difficult as he was bullied several times in the school.
Made at a budget of 220 million dollars, the film is expected to come up with more believable and vivid visual effects. The entire length of the film is 132 minutes which just suits the Indian audiences. Further, no other big Hindi film is releasing alongside 'The Amazing Spider-Man', so the film is speculated to have a good run at the box office too.
