The Amazing Spider-Man

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) is Columbia Pictures' reboot of the web-slinger's origin — watch online on iFILM. Director Marc Webb cast Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, giving the franchise a sharper emotional edge and a new starting point.

Peter grew up with Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field), with no explanation of why his parents vanished. An old briefcase belonging to his father leads him to Oscorp and to Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), the scientist who once partnered with Richard Parker on cross-species genetic research. One bite from a genetically altered spider later, Peter is scaling walls, snapping criminals off their feet, and trying to figure out what he owes the city. Connors, chasing his own obsession with regeneration, injects himself with the formula and becomes the Lizard — a creature with no interest in keeping New York intact.

Made for $215 million, the film grossed nearly $759 million worldwide and launched a two-film run with Garfield in the suit. Stream The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) in good quality on iFILM.
