Synopsis:

Peter Parker is an outcast high school boy who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben  and Aunt May. Like most teenagers, Peter is trying his best 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, 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, 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.

Review: 

The director, Marc Webb, is known for his relationship comedy '(500) Days of Summer', and this is a more feminized and emotionally literate Spider-Man. There isn't the same emphasis on secret identities or denseness and having to grit your teeth and bottle up your feelings while the woman you're in love with swoons over Spider-Man and is politely turned off by your conventional academic attainments. This is a Spider-Man who comes out to the people who are important to him. And there is no alpha or beta-male badinage between Parker and the irascible newspaper editor J Jonah Jameson, and Parker does not feel the need to earn pocket money selling pictures of Spidey to the press. In the digital age, that market may have collapsed in any case.

Peter Parker's(Andrew Garfield) arachnid destiny is made manifest. Instead of the arbitrary happenstance of getting bitten by a radioactive or genetically modified spider, Parker is an orphan of a troubled scientist Richard Parker (Campbell Scott) who was working on inter-species DNA splicing, before being killed with Peter's mother in a mysterious car wreck. His work is now being carried on by the faintly sinister Dr Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), a man with just one arm, who longs for a lizard's ability to regrow limbs. Poor Peter is now hopelessly in love with classmate Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and now Peter is being looked after by his tolerant Uncle Ben, (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May(Sally Field). He blags his way into Dr Connors's lab and sneaks into a secret room where delicate spiders are being experimented upon.
