The Amazing Spider-Man (TASM) is a CBM directed by Marc Webb and is about a teenager, Peter Parker, who is trying to sort out who he is and exactly what happened to his parents mysterious disappearance. His search takes him to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors where he soon helps create The Lizard!
Finally, finally after 4 whole months of waiting I've finally uploaded the video! I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did making it :)

    😀Some suggestions ( its upon you if you wanna make videos on them) Bro, did you notice a paradox in Endgame..... I mean they said that messing with time can affect reality (in doctor strange) so, doctor starnge practices his mystical powers in mirror world while they almost played with time in endgame..... In Endgame they said that if we change something back in time there is no effect in their timeline but it creates aother reality ( thor snatches Mjolnir from pat thor and the past thor may have been fucked in alternate reality ) But they shook their ass again at the end🤷🏻‍♂️😑 and Captain America who went into past created an Old captain America in their reality.... My point is.... if altering the past cannot change reality so, there should not be any old captain america... Also... Another one WHAT WAS THE NEED OF STARK SUIT FOR PETER IN HOMECOMING.......he still has spider sense , super strength and web shooters of his own....all these thing are enough to be Spiderman.... So, there was nothing great in the final scene of Homecoming.....there was nothing great in Peter fighting vulture without Stark Suit.. He fuckin doesnt need that Trash with absolutely nonesense features that were of no use.... So, why people glorify that movie so much....I dont know.... By the way Ur channel is awesome....specially the TASM video

Once it came out, my mind was blown because I got to see my favorite superhero back on the big screen. A few years later, I was as scared as you were. I was afraid to rewatch this movie and I was afraid to see what people say about this movie was true. But they were wrong, TASM1 is nowhere near perfect but in my opinion it’s a great movie and I love it with all my nerdy heart.

    YES!!!! Andrew Garfield seemed to really understand the character better than any other live action actor had. Tobey Maguire understood the character's awkwardness but didn't seem to ever grasp that the character of Peter develops past that and becomes a more confident and slightly cocky man. Tom Holland hasn't really had a chance to show much of his interpretation, but he seems to lean too much into the overly ambitious side while forgetting about the trauma Peter has had to overcome. Andrew perfectly captured this haunted nature that I felt was always an aspect of Peter. He's haunted by his uncles death, by the lives he's unable to save, and by the weight of responsibility he holds in his shoulders at all times. Then, when he's in the suit, they truly made him agile like a spider and legitimately funny. I hope they introduce past spider men into the MCU through the multi verse so Andrew can get the the last goodbye to the character he deserved

    Toby does become more confident while keeping that awkward side of the character. The first movie he goes from being timid about talking to MJ to holding himself pretty well in conversations with her. In the third movie he’s super confident before he even gets the symbiote to the point he’s pretty egocentric.

    Things I like about The Amazing Spider-Man: the 1st movies suit I ACTUALLY ADORE its does not look like the comics but F the comics this suit looks clean as hell and the suit for the 2nd movie is great I still like Hollands more but its great. The Lizard I actually really like his motivation is simple he tries to turn everyone into Lizards because he want to help life if all humans are Lizards then you cant loose limbs and it helps with more stuff as well, his design is unique it's not a dinosaur we've seen that so much on the big screen I really like his Design its most likely what a real human would look like as a giant Lizard man Gwen and spidey's relationship is awesome I really like the actor who played Flash Thompson Uncle ben is good I actually really like aunt may in these movies she looks like she's in her mid 40s and I dunno she's just really awesome played out probably my favorite one so far on the big screen THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: LITERALLY cant think of anything

    I didn’t grow up with a father and I lived in an abusive household. I was the skinny social outcast, who was bullied and sat in the back of the class and I can’t stress enough how much this movie impacted me. I was doing nothing with my life and just felt so numb but this movie inspired me in ways I can’t explain. It brought me through all that pain and trauma and gave me hope to keep fighting even when I was down on the ground. It inspired me to be a better and a kinder man, to stand for my values, and to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Growing up in the environment I had I had countless insecurities, but this movie taught me empathy and confidence, and I’m better because of it. I’m brought to near tears every time I look back and think about how this movie impacted me at a young age and I will be forever grateful. #ReleaseTheWebbCut

    As a fan of the Amazing films, I find myself in between a rock and a hard place. There is always this internal conflict between the troubled development history that prevented the release of more director-driven and personal stories vs the final films released in theaters. Both movies resonate with me emotionally (especially the second one) because of the more realistic and daring direction, but knowing what transpired behind the scenes gives me heartache, especially since this led to the cancellation of the series. The question I keep asking myself is "Do I find myself liking what the studio made or the artistic vision of a talented director?". The negativity surrounding both movies is hyperbolic, but understandable to an extent. I just see the positives vastly outweighing the negatives. In Zack Snyder's case, he shoots everything he storyboards. When his director's cuts get released, they are received far more positively (especially in the cases of Watchmen and Batman v Superman) because of more cohesive and detailed stories. It's simply the studios and producers wanting to make extra money rather than respecting an artist's vision. I'm still waiting on a proper Justice League film. #ReleaseTheWebbCut and #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

    The thing that makes even less sense about people disliking the basketball scene if the fact that Peter did the same thing in the comics. Not the exact same thing with basketball but he did decide to get revenge on flash when he got his powers, he chose to fight him and then knocked him out in a single punch lmao. He only ended up saying it was an accident to avoid suspicion.

    While I think it's easy to point fingers at Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it's not so simple with The Amazing Spider-Man. I still haven't properly settled on a video essay for this film myself yet. I keep trying to pin-point what MY issue with this film is, so all videos on my end on the matter of this specific film are obsolete. However I'll drop my thoughts: The Amazing Spider-Man 1 is a good movie. It goes for a more realistic timeframe with how Peter processes the different events of his origins, it tries to layer the character up by giving him goals as Peter Parker beyond a love interest, addressing the elephant in the room being his parents, the cast have great chemistry, the world it takes place in is well-thought-out, Peter's relationship with Gwen is far more straight forward this time around which is a relief. I get what it is people like about this film. But, regardless of studio interference, I don't think people were sold on this film as a lasting Spider-Man for the foreseeable future. The sequence of events of Spidey's origins take a lot longer to unload which most people including myself will consider a downgrade based strictly on preference. It's not a mistake on the movie's part, the audience just love the thrills of a Spider-Man film which were pushed to the back of this film. Spider-Man's origins usually have quite a roster of characters to unload on an audience but when you start incorporating his parents, that is a LOT to get the audience to roll-with just after the opening credits. And this Spider-Man is just, quite a far cry from the Peter Parker and Spider-Man that most audiences know. He's not really a character open to too much interpretation for the mass market because of his position as more of a cultural icon than just a straight forward fictional character. I think what Sony incorporated here was to make the film fit for mass market, and the two things don't blend, but if it were a straightforward Marc Webb movie, trust me, NOBODY would watch it. This doesn't mean that a new interpretation CAN'T work as a film, it does work, but many will have walked away saying "This just isn't my Spider-Man" and I am one of those people. There was just too much for a mass market stirred into the origins with the whole "untold story" stuff, there was too much familiarity with the film covering mostly old ground, and the whole "It's the realistic version" identity goes out the window the second Lizard rocks up with his evil plan to transform NYC into Lizard people (admittedly more of a Sony move). Overall, it's really not a bad film, it just doesn't stick. Also I'll be honest, these film sadly gets bungled in with the sequel which is what inspires most of the bile directed at it. That's something I am sure to correct myself on. That sequel is a LOT harder to defend. I absolutely see your point though and understand why you like it. There's a Spider-Man for every one and I feel bad that this one got cut short as it left a load of Spidey lovers hanging, but I don't blame the MCU deal for that, I blame the sequel which just wasn't properly thought through.

    Channel Pup Firstly I just want to say that I literally watch your videos all the time and look up to you so it means a lot commenting. And also I agree, Sony tried to change Marc Webb’s goal in order to create a bigger audience, Marc Webb’s vision alone wouldn’t have sold as many tickets which is kinda sad. I spoke to someone who worked on TASM and apparently there was a whole different side to the Lizard, there were scenes about his child and his “failing marriage” which would have added so much more to the Conners instead of just making him a guy who can transform into a massive monster that the good guy has to beat. But if all the stuff with Conners marriage and things actually happened (Marc Webb’s vision) not that many people would watch it. Anyway thank you again 😊

You've got a lot of promise and did a great job here. There's a lot that could have been left in to make the film more successful at it's ultimate goal and I fully agree with you that Peter Parker in this film has a lot of the key aspects of Peter's character in the source material. Heck I find myself when talking about this film, stopping, pausing, realizing, nah it's all there. I think this one was just a case of, unfortunately the audience just wasn't right, noble intentions but not properly calculated for mass success which is what any big film corporation wants. I think Marc Webb's commentary really helps to see a lot of where the film really shines, he's an excellent filmmaker.

    Great essay man, I can definitely see a new HiTopFilms in the making😁. I don’t know if you’re aware but if you’ve seen early trailers for the film, there are many scenes that were reshot such as Peter giving Connors the equation was originally him writing it on a chalkboard akin to his dads office at the start of the film (possibly the original version of the film) and the deleted scenes allude to the final act playing out differently after the school fight and peter following Connors into the sewers with the Ratha scene, so I definitely think there’s an alternate version of the film because the film never really tells you ‘The Untold Story’ either, and so I think these scenes allude to how the film originally would’ve played out in Webb’s vision and before Sony’s interference.

    I completely agree with you on most of these points. TASM 1 is such an underrated film, and it's honestly my favorite Spider-Man movie (and my favorite superhero movie too). The characters felt more human than the ones in the Raimi trilogy (and even more so than the ones in the Watts films). Everyone felt real; like they were someone you'd meet in real life. The decisions they made and the character arcs they went through were so realistic. I know movies are supposed to be an "escape from reality," but the realism of this movie makes it so much easier to relate to the characters. They somehow even gave Flash, a character with only a couple of minutes of screen time, a whole arc that worked really well. On top of that, there are some other points you didn't mention in your video that I'm sure you'd agree with regardless. The soundtrack is so well-composed. James Horner really went all out for the music. And visually, the film is top-tier, as well. You could take any frame from the movie, and it would look great as a poster. The CGI holds up really well, especially for a twelve year old movie. It's baffling that the CGI in the Watts films is so crappy when compared to this. I only disagreed with you on a couple of points. I don't think Peter was a "villain" at the start per se. He felt more like an anti-hero who had a false image of himself in his head. He believed he was a hero and should be praised for his actions, when in reality, the only person he was helping was himself. Doing good things for the wrong reason is more under "anti-hero" territory over "villain" territory. And as for your point on Dr. Connors, I don't think he was the weakest part of the film. He would have been an outstanding villain if those deleted scenes had been included in the final version, but even as the film stands, he was a very well-written character. When Peter was taking things for granted (not realizing his true father figure was Uncle Ben), he sought Dr. Connors to fit that role. The scene where he hung up on Uncle Ben to continue working with Dr. Connors solidified this. The feeling went both ways for them. Peter thought Dr. Connors could be his new father figure, and Dr. Connors thought Peter could be a new Richard who could help him achieve the dream they had of curing humanity of its diseases and disabilities. I only wish that the Lizard had a more "lizard-like" head for his design. But other than that, I think you nailed my thoughts on the film! I still don't get why so many people dislike this film, but I'm glad people are starting to warm up to it in recent years. I'd like to see what you think about TASM 2, as well. While I think it's not nearly as good as the first one, I think it's still a very solid film that doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
