Rhys Ifans has described the Amazing Spider Man shoot as 'phenomenal'.
The actor takes on the role of Dr. Curt Connors, who accidentally turns himself into a lizard, in the new movie - which sees Andrew Garfield take over the role of Peter Parker.
Marc Webb is the director's chair as he reboots the popular franchise and Ifans has nothing but praise for him an the movie's leading man.
Speaking to Digital Spy the actor said: "The shoot was phenomenal. It was a dream come true really. A franchise that has such gravitas as this - it's all eyes on you - and what Marc has done is very exciting.
"Not to be disparaging to the other movies at all, but they were kind of going a certain way and Marc has rolled it back to its delicate, human domesticity."
"Spider-Man is a working-class hero. He's an everyman. And I think Marc as a director and Andrew in his performances are doing special - we're reclaiming the poetry of the hero and of the story."
Ifans will be back on the big screen later this year as he stars in Anonymous with Vanessa Redgrave.
He has also completed work on The Five Year Engagement and Neverland, a TV movie.
The Amazing Spider Man is released 3rd July 2012.
