Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man received widespread critical acclaim.

The film tells the story of how Peter Parker's life takes a bizarre turn after getting bitten by a radioactive spider. He turns into a superhero and sets out to protect his city from the evil Lizard.

A brief synopsis of the film on Sony Pictures Entertainment's YouTube channel reads:

''It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.''

Garfield was nominated for Choice Summer Movie Star: Male at the Teen Choice Awards and Favorite Movie Superhero at the People's Choice Awards. The 2012 film also received immense critical acclaim and was a massive commercial success.
