Anyone who doubted that THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN would be successful has been proved wrong by the cash it raked in on opening night. According to records, the reboot of the Tobey Maguire classics has made more money than any other movie that’s opened on a Tuesday night. Not bad for a movie with so many critics!
It’s also the third biggest movie premiere this year after THE AVENGERS and THE HUNGER GAMES. For those who don’t know, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN tells the story of Peter Parker as he begins exploring his superpowers in high school.
The movie follows the more traditional route of the comic books as opposed to the loosely adapted previous films. For example, in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, as in the comic books, the webs that Spider-man shoots come out of a little machine invented by Peter Parker. In the other movies, the webs shoot out of his wrists.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN has received positive reviews, mostly for Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s portrayals of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. Check out the movie while it’s in theatres for the full 3D experience!
