While several Marvel titles from Activision had been delisted in 2014 (with a select few being re-released in 20 ), The Amazing Spider-Man games based on the Sony Pictures movies were not. In 2005 Activision had renegotiated a licensing deal with Marvel for the exclusive publishing rights to the Spider-Man and X-MEN properties through 2017. I rate this film 8/10.The digital versions of The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 were delisted on January 4th, 2017 for Steam, Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. But hey I was entertained and that is all what matters. This is a solid entry into the superhero genre despite really offering anything new. But we must ask ourselves, is this a necessary reboot? Honestly, I would rather have seen a Spider-Man 4, but who's to complain. Overall, this is definitely not a bad film and it's very entertaining. The rest of the cast rounded out with Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field gives this film some starpower. The Lizard, played wonderfully by Rhys Ifans, is a good villain to watch.

An Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone pairing is not as good as the Maguire/Dunst pairing, but they still do very good and it's nice to see some cockiness in Peter's attitude instead of complete nerdiness. Also, Peter strikes a relationship with the daughter of the police captain, Gwen Stacy. As Peter is exploring his past, he is lead to his father's former partner who happens to be too smart for his own good. Marc Webb's film explores the origins of Spider-Man and also unlike the trilogy, we learn more about Peter's past including what happened to his family. This film is action-packed, has a great cast, and a rather fun villain in 'The Lizard,' but this film doesn't live up to the trilogy that gave Spider-Man a name for himself. I don't know if I like this film any better than the original trilogy. This film is essentially quite similar to 2002's film, but also features a few differences mainly a personality change in Peter. Only five years after the universally-hated Spider-Man 3(not me, though), Columbia Pictures have decided to give Peter Parker and his alter ego, Spider-man a fresh start.
