“I would give it an A. He was corky and geeky, but even when he became Spider-Man, his persona didn’t change drastically. It was more that he had a new found responsibility,” Callista Hatfield (12) said.

Hatfield loved the movie and liked that it started out based off of the Spider-Man comic books, which, like The Amazing Spider-Man movie, introduced the character Gwen Stacy as Peter Parker’s love interest instead of Mary Jane Watson, who came later in the comic book series.
