The UnPopular Opinion: The Amazing Spider-man (Video)

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!

With Sony and Marvel Studios pushing the release date of the third MCU Spider-man movie back, those of us in quarantine still have plenty of superheroic options to rewatch. Whether you are a fan of Sam Raimi's original trilogy or the new Tom Holland led version of the franchise, odds are you likely overlook 2012's reboot THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Led by Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, Marc Webb's slightly more grounded take on Peter Parker's alter ego is an incredibly under-appreciated take on Stan Lee's most famous creation. Check out my explanation as to why THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is one of the best Spider-man movies in the video above.
