Cast

 * Dylan O'Brien as Peter Parker/Spider-Man:Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider in high school, and the spider bite caused him to develop abilities powers similar to that of a spider. He was soon able to crawl up walls and sense imminent danger, and eventually even developed his own method of creating webs to swing from. Upon the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter decided that 'With Great Power comes Great Responsibility, and thus became Spider-Man. Always the underdog, Peter is routinely out-manned and out-gunned, but still manages to throw in wise-cracks between punches, and usually comes out on top in the end.
 * Emma Roberts as Gwen Stacy:Peter Parker met Gwen while they were undergraduates at Empire State University. Initially, Peter's problems as Spider-Man made him ignore her advances, and in return, she felt insulted by his aloofness. Gradually, however, a romance developed. Gwen, a science major, seemed to appreciate Peter's intellectual personality, different from that of jocks like Flash Thompson and preppies like Harry Osborn. She was Peter Parker's first true love.
 * Brad Pitt as Curt Coners/The Lizard:After losing his arm in an explosion, Dr. Curtis Connors devoted his life to creating a serum to regenerate lost limbs. Using DNA from reptiles, who naturally regrew lost limbs, Connors created a serum he was sure would work. Using himself as the first test subject, Connors injected himself with a dose of the formula, and was ecstatic when his arm began to regenerate. However, the reptilian DNA his serum was based on mixed with, and altered, his own DNA, and turned him into a vicious creature known as The Lizard.
 * Mark Harmon as Captain Officer Stacy:Captain George Stacy was once a prominent member of the New York Police Department, who lived in Queens New York City, New York with his wife Helen Stacy and daughter Gwendolyn Stacy
 * John Hamm as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin:Although many have taken up this identity, he is the original and most well-known Green Goblin. Originally an amoral industrialist head of Oscorp and Harry Osborn's father, he took a serum which enhanced his physical abilities and intellect but also drove him to insanity. He adopted a Halloween-themed appearance, dressing in a goblin costume, riding on a bat-shaped "Goblin Glider", and using an arsenal of high-tech weapons, notably grenade-like "Pumpkin Bombs", to terrorize New York City.
 * Bonnie Wright as Mary Jane Watson:After her mother Madeline left Philip, the Watson women stayed with various relatives. One such relative that MJ was particularly fond of was her Aunt Anna, living in Queens, New York. On the night of Ben Parker's murder, MJ spotted a frantic Peter running into his house with Spider-Man emerging from an upstairs windows only moments later. At this she deduced that Peter Parker and Spider-Man were one and the same. Confused by the emotions set off by the discovery, she chose to keep this information to herself. Dreaming of a career in either Broadway or film, MJ starred in high school productions such as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and in other various plays and productions.
 * Walton Goggins as Shocker:Herman Schultz was a career criminal who, after several prison terms for robbery, built a battle suit that sent out shock waves to quickly open safes as well as give himself a one-up on the authorities. The Shocker had the ability to shock his enemies with his hand held vibro-shock units, but because the vibrations were so fierce, he wore a heavily insulated suit. During his first outing as the self-styled "Shocker" he ran into and defeated Spider-Man (albeit the hero was suffering a broken arm at the time) who became Schultz's nemesis.
 * William Hurt as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross
 * Raymond J. Barry as Mendel Stromm
 * Bruce Greenwood as Ben Parker:While Richard and Mary were on assignment, Ben and May took care of Peter. Ben and May had never had children of their own, but after Richard and Mary died, they became Peter’s surrogate parents and raised him as if he were their own son. The teenage Peter, before he gained superhuman powers, was shy and studious, and felt alienated from his fellow high-school students. Ben and May provided him with the love and emotional support he needed, and they were the only two people Peter truly cared for.
 * Julianne Moore  as May Parker
 * Colton Haynes as Flash Thompson:He is a star high school football player who mercilessly bullies Peter Parker. On the other hand, he greatly admires Spider-Man, an irony in which the superhero takes some gratification. After graduation, he joins the United States Army and is haunted by his combat experiences, leading to alcoholism. He was entered in, voluntarily into operation Rebirth 2.0 where he was given the Venom symbiot and thus became Agent Venom.
 * Monica Bellucci as Mary Parker:May and Ben Parker took in their nephew Peter after the death of his parents and raised him. Ben immediately took to the role of the boy's father but May was at first reluctant. She still remembered her parents blaming her own birth for the destruction of their marriage, and she was afraid that Peter might signal the end of her own marriage. In time, however, she warmed up to Peter, who unexpectedly strengthened the couple's marriage. After Ben's death, life became a struggle with money problems and Peter did his best to help.
 * Emma Bell as Liz Allan:Liz Allan was a high school classmate of Peter Parker when they attended Midtown High School together, and a minor love interest of Parker and Flash Thompson. Initially, Peter liked Liz. However, she was Flash Thompson's girlfriend and initially considered Peter Parker something of a loser, even taking part in the general ridicule that Pete endured on a daily basis. She was flighty and rather thoughtless - not outright cruel, but lacking the empathy necessary to detect Peter's good points. At one oint, paradoxically, she developed a crush on Spider-Man, blowing off both Flash Thompson and Peter Parker because she believed the costumed hero would call her.
 * Jerry Messing as Kenneth McFarlneand 
 * Aaron Eckhart as Donald Menken 
 * Micheal Shanks as Richard Parker
 * Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury (Cameo)

​Devolpment
Following the release of Spider-Man 3, Sony Pictures Entertainment had announced a May 5, 2011, release date for Sam Raimi's next film in the earlier series. By this time, screenwriters James Vanderbilt, David Lindsay-Abaire and Gary Ross had all written rejected versions of a script and Ziskin's husband Alvin Sargent, who wrote the second and third films, was working on yet another attempt.Raimi wanted John Malkovich to play his next villain.However, on January 11, 2010, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced that rather than continue the earlier saga, they were rebooting the series with a new cast and crew. Industry reports claimed that Raimi had admitted that he could not meet the scheduled release date and retain creative integrity. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach and Ziskin continued as producers. Arad later explained, "We were working on what we called Spider-Man 4 and it was the same team [as with the first three films]. The problem was we didn't have a story that was strong enough and warranted ... another movie. And Sam Raimi ... realized we [didn't] have a good reason to make another one. And between [him] and Tobey and obviously the studio, we all went into it not feeling good about the next story."Tolmach said one reason to restart the series was that the producers felt the core Spider-Man story was that of a boy becoming a man.Screenwriter Steve Kloves did a polish of Sargent's script, saying he had originally declined the opportunity to do so but relented "as a favor" to the filmmakers."I also really wanted to write for Emma Stone, because I like to write for women and I particularly like Emma," he explained. "So ...I did basically character and dialogue, and that was enjoyable for me. So that was my hand in it. And I did a little plot work, but a lot of the plot was done." He did "a little bit" of dialog for Peter Parker / Spider-Man. Days after announcing Raimi's departure, the studio announced that Webb, whose previous film (500) Days of Summer was his directorial debut, would direct the reboot. Tolmach, now president of Columbia Pictures and Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, said they looked for a director who could give sharp focus to Parker's life.Webb said he "was a little sceptical at first — you feel the presence of those other movies. But then I was like, 'How could I walk away from this? What an opportunity!'"Webb said in the press release announcing him that, "Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well.After 7 days Fox did not allow Webb to break contract so Sony decide to sell the rights to Marvel Studios and Andrew Garfeild and Emma Stone were both promised moives with Sony Pictures.Days after it's buying Marvel had casted Emma Roberts as Gwen Stacy then Jason Issacs for Norman Osborn.They had announced Mattew Vaugh would direct the film since he had exprinced with the genre saying "This is amazing and this genre is so unique and you are more free here" the same day Dylan O'Brien  confrimed through Twitter he was going to be Spiderman by posting a picture of a younger him holding a spidy toy.

Design
Vaughn felt a responsibility to reinvent Spider-Man.One departure from the preceding trilogy was to have Spider-Man build artificial web-shooters, as the character does in the comics. In February 2011, with the launch of the official website, the title and first official image of O'Brien  as Spider-Man depicting both his costume and web-shooters for the first time were revealed.Writer Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times was skeptical of the change, feeling that it was too hard to believe that a financially strapped young man could conceive a wrist-worn device that can instantly produce a strand of synthetic webbing and noted "the suit lives up to the challenge of being different from the Sam Raimi films but not too different from the classic suit that stands as one of the great comic-book costumes ever."Vaughn decide to keep the orignal suit through they spent 2 weeks drawing conecpet suits they deicide to keep the orignal since the suit is really i conic btu to modernizite a little bit more. While Vaughn introduced a few elements from Ultimate Spider-Man, he wanted to keep the mainstream version of Gwen Stacy instead of that world's punk rocker. The release of Lizard merchandise designs along with unconfirmed concept art featuring a humanoid-shape with a layer of scales on top instead of a pronounced snout (similar to a dinosaur or crocodile) as in the most recent comics, produced a mixed reaction. Many commenters compared it to other fictional characters instead of his rendering in comics.Russ Fischer of /Film described the character as looking more "Steve Ditko derived" (the character's original artist).Vaughn felt that there are different incarnations of Lizard in the comic book. He felt that he should do it without the snout because he was interested more in human emotions and wanted to keep Rhys' presence in the creature. Webb wanted him to have emotion, have a face and have feeling.He stated "that in a comic book, you just put that thing up there, and you can say, oh, thought bubble, whatever. But when you try to do that and make it look real, it's a different challenge, and I'm creating a movie, I'm not creating a comic book. That was part of the design." Vaughn "wanted to do something that felt more contemporary, and was less based in representing panels from the comics" and focus on spirit over style.

Fliming
Principal photography began on December 6, 2010, in Los Angeles.The working title was Fiona's Tale.The 90-day shoot included two weeks in New York City, while the bulk of filming occurred in and around Los Angeles, including such locations as the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, St. John Bosco High School's Gym, Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Mid-Wilshire and various locations around South Pasadena, San Pedro and Woodland Hills. Marvel Entertainment spokesman Steve Elzer explained, "[T]here is a comfort level in producing a project of this size and scope on your own backlot ... Basing the film on the lot also makes it easier for producers to interact with Disenys in-house visual effects team, and gives the studios greater control of quality and security." Some location shooting took place in New York City. The Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House served as the exterior for NYPD headquarters, and an apartment house at 15 West 81st Street, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, was used as the exterior for the home of Gwen Stacy and her family. A row of houses on Fuller Place in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Windsor Terrace stood in for the Forest Hills, Queens neighborhood of Ben and May Parker. A web-swinging stunt sequence takes place along the Riverside Drive Viaduct in Harlem. The film was the first Hollywood production to be filmed with the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's RED Epic camera and was shot in 3-D at 5K resolution.Cinematographer John Schwartzman had this to say about the camera: "Today was Epic, Monday December 6 marks the first day the Red Epic camera was used to shoot a major studio motion picture. I can say for certainty the camera does exist and boy is it ready for primetime, as a matter of fact it's a true game changer." Schwartzman felt that the 3D would have been impossible without it. He said, "I can tell you without these cameras it would be impossible to move a 3D rig in the ways that THIS story demands, if Jim and the crew hadn't made these cameras available to us I don't think we could have shot this movie the way our director envisioned it in 3D."Vaughn wanted cameras small enough to fit on the rigs and swing around very fast, saying that the "RED Epic cameras were the right cameras to do that." Vaughn continued that "you need to shoot it with a level of velocity and 3D cameras can be very large... and so we need those cameras to mount on rigs that could fly to the air and run to the streets in a certain pace. That allowed us to do it."The Spectacular Spider-Man's climax was filmed in a 1:78:1 aspect ratio for its IMax DMR release. On April 2011,Roberts revealed that the cinematography had wrapped and that post-production began in May although some reshooting took place in New York City in November 2011 and in Los Angeles in December 2011.

Stunts
Vaughn stated that he and the crew wanted to keep the stunts more grounded physically, a challenge for a superhuman character.The stunt performers included the Armstrong family, Vic and Andy, along with Richard Norton who plays a SWAT team member. Andy Armstrong was the stunt coordinator while Vic was the second unit director.To determine how Spider-Man should swing, Andy videotaped an Olympic Games gymnast swinging on a horizontal bar.Andy noted that in the computer-generated swing in the earlier Spider-Man films, "he swings down at the same speed as he swings up," and this "constant" speed is unlike a real gymnast's movement where "he's accelerating until he reaches the bottom, then as he starts to come up, he's decelerating until he gets to the top of his swing and he actually gets negative gravity, where he'll go weightless for a second, and then the next swing starts, and it becomes another violent swing again." Vic felt that Spider-Man's moves were comparable to those of Tarzan, and he wanted to add that in the film.While filming in New York City, they swung a man through traffic down the street. Then, while the crew built a rig hundreds of feet long over Riverside Drive in Harlem, Andy built a car rig with a series of wires to help with effects which Webb said required an "incredible wealth of acrobatics".These rigs were over 200–300 feet long and demanded months of rehearsals and design. According to Andy, operating the rigs "was a combination of a lot of human skills and mechanical engineering."The purpose of the rigs was to depict Spider-Man's swing in a way that wasn't computer-generated.Efron was reported to be involved with some of the stunts.Leaked pictures reveal O'Brien  with a nosebleed and a cut lip that reports claimed was from swinging.McFeely explained that "Dylan  is not only a brilliant actor but he is a sportsman. This gave us the opportunity to try things with him that were it not so it would have been almost impossible."

Effects
The company 3ality Technica of Burbank, California produced some of the equipment.The film was reported to be the first to adopt 3ality Digital's TS-5 wireless and handheld beamsplitter mirror rig. 3ality technology helped make it possible to avoid 2D to 3D conversion.Webb wanted a new 3D experience for Spider-Man: "Because we're shooting in 3D, I wanted to conceive of certain things very specifically for 3D. There's an experimental component to 3D that's fascinating and we're experimenting with generating that point of view – so you feel what Peter Parker feels, you feel what Spider-Man feels when he's jumping over buildings and over the streets."He felt that Spider-Man was ideal for 3D, admitting that they "started making the movie around the time Avatar came out" which made every studio want 3D. This was Webb's first film using the technique, and he did not want a force-fit or clumsy conversion as he had seen in other films.Webb cited childhood films such as Creature from the Black Lagoon and House of Wax for inspirations to push the 3D in his film even further than the type of depth that James Cameron uses in his film. The Vancouver branch of Disney Entertainment was responsible for the digital touch-up.The group improved the sewer and high school battle scene with many of Spider-Man's poses and environments that were used in the film. The comic book was cited as a basic source for Spider-Man's poses.The visual designers helped bring the Lizard to life by first building a digital version of a production design maquette. Many staff were involved with the process. They also started by thinking about lizard biology and how his muscles would work.A large man referred to as "Big John" stood in as the character during shooting, performing much of the interaction with other characters.The computer-generated Lizard replaced him in post-production. The creators would then fuse the design of the Lizard with the actor Brad Pitt.Pitt then used motion capture for the Lizard's speaking parts, which Vaughn found challenging to incorporate into the character's final version.

Other Media
A video game of the same name developed by Beenox was announced at the 2011 New York Comic Con. They were the development team behind the previous two Spider-Man games, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time. The game was released on June 26, 2012,a PlayStation exclusive for PS3 and PS Vita. Dee Brown of Beenox noted, "The fact that our game is based on the movie, and the movie is re-approaching the universe in a completely different way — a more grounded, more realistic approach — gives us an incredible setting to play with".The game takes place after the events of the film.Disney and Gameloft teamed up again to create an official mobile game for the film.Sky Betting and Gaming's online casino website Sky Vegas created a related casino game. The comic was released in June, named "Spectacular Spider-Man: The Movie" #1–2", written by Tom Cohen and illustrated by Neil Edwards.A trade paperback was published collecting the two-parter a week before the film's release, entitled Amazing Spider-Man: The Movie Prelude, which also included The Amazing Spider-Man issues #75–77.

Release
On February 10, 2010, Marvek announced that the film would be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on May 1, 2012. Premieres took place in Tokyo, Japan on April .The film is rated PG-13 for sequences of action and violence.

Critical reception

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter felt that the film was satisfying, explaining that Vaughn directed with emotional and comedic touches and provided a darker depiction and a stronger romance than the original.Boyd Van Hoeija of Variety described the film as a "mostly slick, entertaining and emotionally involving recombination of fresh and familiar elements and makes you feel for Peter's delima".A columnist of The Village Voice, Chris Pakham felt that the film was faithful to the comics and that "O'Brien 's spindly physicality evokes the Marvel illustrations of the 1960s alongside veterans like Pitt and Hamm."Conversely, Lou Lemenick of the New York Post wrote that the film was dull and uninspiring and felt that it did not compare to Batman Begins and was "a pointless rehash in the mode of Superman Returns though the perfromces were somthing of The Dark Knight."New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the film as "running out of nimbleness and fun, and the promise contained in its title seems ever more tendentious despite Pitt's perfromce." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called the film "memorable in pieces but not as a whole" and said that its best element is the relationship between Peter and Gwen, while the Lizard "is not quite an opponent for the ages mostly to writing and not the brillent acting of Pitt. and it need more of Hamm's Goblin.

Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A- describing the film as "a friskier, sweeter-natured variation" when compared to Raimi's work. She explained that the most "amazing" element was not the "blockbuster wow!" neithe O'Brien s acting but instead the "intimate awww."Claudia Puig of USA Today explained that "as a new chapter in the superpowered arachnid saga, it stands on its own quite nicely, focusing more on human emotions than on a panoply of special effects." She said "where Tobey Maguire in the original Spider-Man trilogy was earnest, Dylan O'Brien 's Spider-Man is whip-smart.Charasmatic and likably cheeky, with an undercurrent of teenage angst." She also called the film "as much a coming-of-age story as a crime-fighting action saga." Christy Lemire of the Associated Press described O'Brien's Spider-Man as an arrogant and misunderstood outsider, giving the film a "restless, reckless energy and a welcome sense of danger." She also stated that O'Brien's potential was not used but the supporting vets helped the moive roar She also concluded that Vaughn was a different sort of director, saying that while Vaughn's big set pieces lacked Raimi's imagination, they conveyed "emotional truth" and "a pervasive sense of humanity". Colin Covert of the Star Tribune also felt that The Spectacular Spider-Man is weaker than its predecessor and described it as "The Notebook in spandex " but clamied it had too much potenital. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt that the reboot provided better reasons for why Peter Parker adopts his superhero role, even if the origin story didn't need to be told once again. He also remarked that it was "probably the second best" of the four Spider-Man films after Spider-Man 2, explaining that Lizard was lackluster compared to that film's villain, Doctor Octopus, and had the dramatic range of Godzilla and that Goblin was underused in the film.

Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal, pointed out that "the truly amazing thing is that most of what happens to Peter Parker in the first half of the film has already happened in previous chapters of the Spidey saga", that "what's old is old again."However, Randy Myers from the San Jose Mercury News found it "the best Spidey yet", describing it as "strong, bold and well-acted." He felt that a viewer couldn't help but feel déjà vu, but that the work shows greater "dimension".Dana Stevens at Slate magazine believed that the film was an "needed" retelling of the origin story, although it avoided "the common comic-book adaptation trap of gloomy self-seriousness " and said that Hamm's Peformence as Goblin was better than Dafoe's but not as memorable.Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also opined that the "unnecessary" reboot pulled stellar performances from O'Brien and Roberts and touches the heart alongside the wonderful supporting cast of Moore,Hamm,Pitt and Greenwood.

Dylan O'Brien  received good notices for his performance. Bob Mondello of NPR said, "Here comes another Spider-dude: This  Dylan O'Brien guy. So he'd better be really something, right? Well, as it happens, he is. ."Tom Charity of CNN found Efron's "combination of fresh-faced innocence, nervous agitation and wry humor ... immediately appealing."Stephanie Zacharek of Movieline said she "had no specific desire to see the series resuscitated. But watching O'Brien  and Roberts made me think doing so wasn't such a bad idea".Mary F. Pols of Time said that even though the story was familiar O'Brien and Vaugn made it feel "convincingly fresh and exciting."
