The Kernel take
A Metascore of 66 suggests critics found enough merit in Webb's reboot to justify its considerable $215M budget, though the $758.7M worldwide gross indicates the film's true value lay in its box-office appeal rather than critical consensus.
Director track record: Marc Webb
The Amazing Spider-Man (66) sits well above Marc Webb's own 49-point average across 4 other scored films — his best-reviewed work to date, a marked departure from a filmography that had skewed considerably lower.
Lead track record: Andrew Garfield
The Amazing Spider-Man (66) trails only slightly below Andrew Garfield's own 64.2-point average across 14 other scored films, a solid outing that falls well short of his peak in The Social Network (95).
