Peter Parker Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers -- THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Movie Review

POTATO ON THE GO REVIEW (Movie):

Peter Parker Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers -- THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Movie Review.  Yes, this is the title of this blog post.  Why?  Like the original tongue twister, I find the new Spider-Man interesting, entertaining and exciting but I also think that the screenplay is a bit twisted and that some of its sequences lack connection and logic. 

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma 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 parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
