Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are a couple in real life.
Spider-Man may be a superhero, but there is a lot that's normal about Peter Parker and his alter ego.
Peter (Andrew Garfield) is basically an ordinary guy doing extraordinary things.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has the required level of action but there is a surprising amount of storyline and dialogue
in this adventure, too. What is also a real asset to the storytelling is the chemistry between Spider-Man and his girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).
A couple in real life, Garfield and Stone carry off the girlfriend/boyfriend thing with genuine feeling. But Spider-Man needs more than Gwen's love to overcome his latest batch of enemies.
While trying to deal with his demons from being abandoned by his parents, Peter is trying to establish his place in the world. He wants someone to tell him who he is and what he should be doing with his life.
