The Amazing Spiderman (2012)

A second recent reboot of the Spiderman franchise, The Amazing Spiderman aligns itself more readily with the comic books that gave birth to the series. While Spider-Man was pretty successful in its own right, the key improvement here is in the casting. From Andrew Garfield, who is almost the perfect choice for the geeky hero himself to the loveable Emma Stone this trend continues all the way to the smaller parts with Martin Sheen as chivalrous Uncle Ben and Sally Field as nurturing Aunt May. While I would've preferred a less obvious orchestral superhero soundtrack and I thought the robber/Uncle Ben scene had a bit less punch this time around, I can't help but look forward to the sequels and more neat scenes like the one with a scared kid and the re-assuring Spidey mask. Watch it a lot over the years.
