I'll be honest I have very little interest in seeing the Amazing Spider-Man because I don't see the point in them making half the film just another slightly tweaked take on the origin story.
Spider-Man's origin story is so well known that you don't need to spend a lot of time on it.
It reminds me a little of 2003 and 2008 Hulk movies because Hulk is another character that you don't need to spend a lot of time on the origin.
The first in 2003 by Ang Lee was good but spent too long on the origin. People already know that "Banner gets hit by gamma rays, gets angry and turns green". Don't spend half the time explaining it again because you are just using up time that could be used to advance the rest of the story.
2008's The Incredible Hulk got it right. It gave you 'flashback's' at the beginning of the movie for the origin and then used the rest of the time to tell the actual story.
