4‘ THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN’ (2012)

The execution wasn’t great, but at least Webb’s first superhero foray tried different things: having Gwen be the love interest rather than Mary Jane, tying Peter’s dead father (Campbell Scott) into the science that gave Peter his powers and giving the hero a non-villain figure — Gwen’s overprotective cop dad (Denis Leary) — to complicate his life. That said, Garfield’s super-dude is too broody to be any fun.
