"I think that Marc clearly… I mean, for (500) Days of Summer you can tell that Marc cares about love and he cares about humanity. And that was incredibly important for this movie, for The Amazing Spider-Man," Stone said, reports Flicks and Bits.
She further explained: "He prioritised the relationships just as much as the action. I know he had a million voices in his ear because a movie like this there's a lot of opinions all the time on everything, and he would come in on Sundays to work on the scenes with us and break them down and build them all the way back up until we had the same scene that was written on the page but we had analysed it to death.
"He was incredibly, incredibly kind and willing to work on that relationship. For my experience, I was very grateful that he came from that background."
Stone also recently lavished praise on co-star Andrew Garfield when she compared him to legendary star Meryl Streep.
The Amazing Spider-Man is now playing in US and UK cinemas.

That's one of the reasons why my nephew didn't really like it. He did believe Andrew was a more better Spider-Man than Tobey(my Bro-in-Law too), but the movie itself, was a pretty letdown.
They also found the concept of the web pretty cool, and original(look comics). My bro-in-law really enjoyed that, but that was selective and it hardly even mattered.
Emma Stone was OK, but wasn't that good -- my nephew stated. Ironically, they made fun of her like they did to Mary Jane(they made fun of her teeth, lol). I personally loved who they chose as MJ, but Emma Stone? Not so much, she looks like an alien.
Should be interesting where they go in part 2.
