The Amazing Spider-Man Narrative

The film starts and Peter Parker is a socially awkward teen in high school that has a crush on Gwen Stacy and is bullied by Flash Thompson. He lives with his Aunt (May) and Uncle (Ben) after his parents disappearance many years before.

After a day at school, he comes back home and finds his dads research that reveals he worked at Oscorp with fellow scientist Doctor Curt Connors. Peter manages to sneak into a lab at Oscorp where ‘biocable’ is under development from genetically modified spiders. After sneaking inside Peter is bitten by one of the spiders. On the subway ride home, Peter discovers he has spider-like abilities.

After studying his father’s papers and research he goes to visit Doctor Connors and gives to him the missing piece in Doctor Connors experiments. Doctor Connors then invites Peter to work with him on the experiments on regenerating limbs. After working on the experiments with Doctor Connors at his lab he forgets to pick up his aunt. When he gets home he has an argument with his uncle and storms out.

At a nearby deli, Peter is two cents short and can’t afford milk. As Peter is about to leave, a thief comes into the store and steals the money from the teal which Peter keenly observes. While searching for Peter, Ben tries to stop the thief but is shot in the process. Peter then finds Ben bleeding and dying from the gun shot.

After Uncle Ben’s death, Peter starts using his new abilities to track down criminals matching the killer’s description. After falling through the rough of an old abandoned gym, Peter notices a luchador poster which inspires Peter to don a mask and spandex costume to hide his identity.

Peter is then invited to a dinner from Gwen and meets her father Captain George Stacy and have a conversation about Spider-Man (Peter’s alter-ego). After the dinner Peter reveals to Gwen that he is Spider-Man and they share a kiss.

After successful trials on regenerating limbs on a mouse, Connors tests the experiment on himself after pressure from his superior Doctor Ratha. Doctor Connors then goes to stop Doctor Ratha using the experiments on hospital patients but on his way his skin starts to turn green and scaly and starts to become the ‘Lizard’. Peter Parker as Spider-Man intercepts him at the bridge and snatches all of the falling cars with his web lines.

Peter then unsuccessfully confronts the Lizard who he suspects is Doctor Connors. During the confrontation Doctor Connors/Lizard finds out Spider-Man’s identity and goes to his high school where they fight before Lizard escapes. Following this the police start a manhunt on both Spider-Man and Lizard.

The police then corner Spider-Man where Captain Stacy finds out that Peter is Spider-Man. Lizard plans to make all humans a lizard like creature by releasing a chemical cloud from Oscorp Tower. Spider-Man eventually releases an antidote through the cloud and saves the city but not before Lizard mortally wounds Captain Stacy. Before his death, Captain Stacy makes Peter vow to keep Gwen safe which Peter initially does but later suggests to Gwen at school he may see her after all.
