This is one of the summer's most anticipated blockbusters -- the final installment in Christopher Nolan's critically revered, audience-adored Batman trilogy. Fans of Christian Bale's grittier take on the Caped Crusader will be lining up to see this last entry in the series, so be prepared for a spirited debate if you don't think your tween is ready to handle the violence in Gotham City. Considering how startlingly intense the body count and torture scenes were in The Dark Knight (and how there are even more villains in this film), it's likely to be too bloody for many older tweens and young teens.

Review:
The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Marc Webb, based on the comic book of the same name and starring Andrew Garfield as the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film that portrays Spider-Man in film and is a reboot of the film series that stars the superhero. The cast includes Garfield as Peter Parker and his alter ego, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors. The film will portray Parker as his super powers are evolving in high school and will explore him trying to discover the truth behind his parents. The film also brings to life new designs of the film franchise such as Parker inventing artificial webs like in the original comics instead of organic webs.
The film's development began simultaneously with Sony announcing the cancellation of Spider-Man 4. Opting for a reboot with the same production team rather than another sequel, the studio announced a July 2012 release date for what was now titled The Amazing Spider-Man. James Vanderbilt was hired to write the script while Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves helped fine-tune the script. Pre-production involved the casting of many actors and actresses trying out the role of Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy respectively until Garfield and Stone were the clear choice. Principal photography started in December 2010 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City with the help of Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's RED Epic camera. The film entered post-production in April 2011 with the film being converted to 3D with the help of 3ality Technica and with James Horner being involved with the film score.
Sony Entertainment has focused its marketing campaign with a promotional website with released images, three theatrical trailers, a prologue screening in certain cities and a video game tie-in being developed by Beenox and a viral marketing campaign among other products. The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D and in IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012. A sequel of the film is being planned for release in 2014 with James Vanderbilt hired to again write the screenplay and with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci reported to re-write it.

Review:
Here's the best thing I can say about The Avengers (and no, I will NOT refer to it as Marvel's The Avengers, because the branding is implicit):
It offers a couple of the biggest laughs in recent memory, including a slapstick gag worthy of Chuck Jones in his Looney Tunes heyday.
Thankfully, there are other nice things to say about The Avengers, a Marvel mash-up featuring a group of superheroes who (almost) all have had their own movies. Don't think of this as a sequel to the others; it's its own thing unto itself.
And, thanks to writer-director Joss Whedon, that thing is veined with wit, even as it offers exactly the kind of action that fanboys and normal movie-goers alike want out of something like this. The wisecracks and bulls-eye one-liners aside, The Avengers offers big mouthfuls of action, at a scale that tickles the imagination.
Yet Whedon also realizes what the real attraction is here: It's not the moment when these various troubled superheroes put their own issues aside and band together to fight off a horde of invading aliens (although that's a moment that's worth the wait). Rather, it's about the sturm und drang -- the personal demons that goad these differently abled creatures into battling each other.
Those, after all, are the comic books that were always the best -- the ones that pitted superhero against superhero. You always know that the superhero will defeat the villain. But when it's hero vs. hero, well, anything goes.
Or so it seems in this movie. You've got Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) vs. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor vs. Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hulk against Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Black Widow taking on Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). And that's not to mention the trash talk, the best of which is offered by Downey as the ever-flippant Tony Stark.
The plot is as comic-booky as it comes, drawing on clues and hints that popped up at the end of Thor, Captain America and the Iron Man movies. Watch The Avenger Trailer:
