Why Andrew Garfield Said Filming "The Amazing Spider-Man" Really Stunk

I give The Amazing Spider-Man a hard time because of two things.

I’m biased for Tobey Maguire and I thought the second series with Andrew Garfield was just missing somethin’. I mean, it was trying to be funny but I feel like it had MASSIVE gaps in the story and execution.

Like it was kinda hollow.

Well it turns out that I wasn’t alone in thinking that. Andrew Garfield kind of agrees.

AKA Spider-Man agrees with me.

He said he was “heartbroken” after playing Peter Parker and not because he only got to do it for two movies.

Fighting B-list villains like The Lizard and Electro.

“There’s something about being that young in that kind of machinery which I think is really dangerous,” Garfield said. “I was still young enough to struggle with the value system, I suppose, of corporate America.”

He told Amy Adams on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” interview that he struggled to deal with his role in a giant machine of a movie.

He said he’s been wanting to play Spider-Man since he was a kid and KNEW it was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. But what broke him was that he wasn’t “top of the priority list.”

Meaning…
