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.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Swings to Cinemas in 3D Starting June 29

POTATO ON THE GO BULLETIN (Movie):

Columbia Pictures' new action-adventure “The Amazing Spider-Man” was shot in 3D, and for the filmmakers, it is a key choice.

“3D isn’t right for every movie, but 3D was made for Spider-Man,” says producer Avi Arad. “It is another way we have of keeping the audience immersed in the storytelling. You see the world through his eyes and you feel like Spider-Man – the exciting moments are even more exciting. But what might be surprising is that 3D makes the intimate moments more intimate as well – I can think of some scenes that are quite emotional that are even more emotional in 3D. It’s a perfect choice for this movie.”

IMAX Theatres To Have Exclusive Midnight Screenings of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

IMAX Mall of Asia will open 24 hours from June 28 until 2:00 am of July 2 for this Marc Webb blockbuster. In this Spider-Man reboot, Peter Parker tries to unearth the secrets of his past. In order to shed light on his parents’ disappearance, he begins a quest leading him directly to Oscorp and the laboratory of Dr. Curt Connors, his father’s former partner. However, when he is on the brink of uncovering the mystery, Dr. Connor’s alter-ego, The Lizard, appears and wreaks havoc in the City of New York.

The Amazing Spider-Man also takes viewers back to the life of the web-slinging hero before he met Mary Jane Watson. It introduces us to the unsure, unassuming and gangly youth in love with the smart and charismatic Gwen Stacy. Andrew Garfield, whose claim to stardom includes his appearances in Never let Me Go and Social Network, is scaling the wall as the Webhead. His real-life sweetheart, Emma Stone whose films include Easy A, Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Help, plays Gwen Stacy. Rhys Ifans takes the role of Dr. Connors, a good-hearted doctor who’s corrupted by the darker side of ambition. Denis Leary plays NYPD Captain Stacy and the father of Gwen Stacy.
