  • Director: Marc Webb
  • Seen by this director: 500 Days of Summer
  • Based on book: no
  • Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Denis Leary, Sally Field, Martin Sheen
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • Andrew Garfield – Under the Silver Lake, Breathe, Hacksaw Ridge, Social Network, Never Let Me Go, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus, Red Riding x3, Boy A, Doctor Who

      • Irrfan Khan - The Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire, Darjeeling Limited, The Namesake
  • Sally Fields and Martin Sheen - Many
  • Why? Andrew Garfield
  • Seen:  30 November 2024.      

       It just can’t be helped. Andrew Garfield is just so much better than Tobey Maguire. Emma Stone is just so much better than Kirsten Dunst. Rhys Ifans is a better villain than Willem Dafoe. Sally Fields is a better Aunt May than prissy Julie Harris.

       The whole film is so much better than Spiderman 1-3. More pizazz, more spark, more oomph, more believable, more fun, more everything.

       This is what a Marvel film is supposed to be.
