	Media	Author	Review
		Boyd van Hoeij Variety	"A mostly slick, entertaining and emotionally involving recombination of fresh and familiar elements."
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Webb offers no radical rethink about how to craft a comic-book summer movie, but still he delivers a enjoyable rush over a patchwork of genres – romance, action, sci-fi, horror and comedy (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"This satisfying reboot slings a darker Spidey, a stronger romance and a welcome slew of tongue-in-cheek humor. (...) the two leads deliver the goods and manage to combine a frisky sense of first love with the movie's gloomier arc"
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. Webb's Spider-Man movie works only because he keeps the whole package, at least until the requisite final blowout, tethered to his two appealing leads."
		Ian Freer Empire	"A rare comic-book flick that is better at examining relationships than superheroism. If it doesn’t approach the current benchmark of Avengers Assemble, it still delivers a different enough, enjoyable origin story (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"If we didn't really need to be told Spidey's origin story again, at least it's done with more detail and provides better reasons for why Peter Parker throws himself into his superhero role (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"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 (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Director Marc Webb has crafted a Spider-Man that touches the heart (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald	"Fresh, exhilarating fun. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
