It's a little like cheating on Tobey Maguire with his younger, skinnier brother.
Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker is a bit too cool and too mean for my liking. He lacks that endearing quality that made Maguire so appealing in his multiple turns as the comic book icon. The rest of the cast makes up for it, though.
Heavyweights Martin Sheen and Sally Field (Uncle Ben and Aunt May) add credibility to this tale we know so well, Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy is as gosh darn perfect as you'd expect her to be, and The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) has just enough vulnerability at his core to make him a pretty good villain. A quick plea to the underrated Denis Leary, who plays Gwen's dad - make more serious movies, please.
The action is easy to follow and fun to watch, but it might not be enough for those who like to leave the theatre with their ears ringing.
Bonus Bones: 0

No dogs, but lots of lizards.
