The Amazing Spider-Man is now in theaters and it is definitely worth watching!!! My hubby and I had the chance to check out the film in 3D at a pre-screening last week and we both really enjoyed it. As I have mentioned before, both my hubby and my son are Super Hero fanatics, so there was no way he would have let me go without him. Being that my hubby loves his comic books and remembers everything about the characters, which makes no sense to me since he can’t even remember what he did yesterday, I am always concerned that he will be more critical of the film.Ā  For the sake of this movie review. we’ll call my hubby an “expert” on Spider-man (spicing things up around here).

I thought the movie was very entertaining. The movie is a film that I would see with my kiddos. I believe there were 2 minor curse words in it but not enough to where I was bothered by it.

Stan Lee makes his cameo, as always, but I loved how they went about doing it this time around…I thought it was funny.

* I suggest watching it in 3D because it looks really cool and really makes the film pop.

Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parentsā€™ disappearance ā€“ leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his fatherā€™s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connorsā€™ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
