Issue 216 of Total Film magazine is all about your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

Inside the issue, we go on the New York set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , and take a look at just how the wily web-shooter went from comic-book hero to big screen blockbuster.

Plus we get the lowdown on petrolheaded action flick Need For Speed , The Lego Movie and star-spangled war movie The Monuments Men.

If that wasn't enough, Colin Farrell tells us about his varied career, and we put The Wolf Of Wall Street , American Hustle and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug under our review spotlight.

Read a summary of the key features of the brand new interactive edition of Total Film .

Total Film 216 is available at all good newsagents from Friday 17 January.

Nymphomaniac

Nymphomaniac

Lars von Trier's latest film promises to be his most button-pushing, sexually explicit and scandalous. Euro-smut, shock-tactics or art? And why does most of Hollywood want to be in it? Total Film probes inside the movie we'll all be talking about...
