One way in which the narrative fits the AA genre is that Peter Parker AKA Spiderman, is really just a normal person who happens to discover that he has insect-like powers. Whilst in pursuit of some villains, he discovers that he can shoot webs out of his hand and boldly decides to jump in at the deep end by swinging off the top of a very large building in order to find the evil people that he is trying to catch. This shows that our hero is very courageous and brave which is typical of the AA genre.
Another way in which the narrative is typical of the AA genre is that there is lots of suspense and jeopardy. Spiderman is still new to his powers and hasn't quite perfected his craft at this point, causing him to have many near misses. At one point he even jumps on top of a car which is participating in a high speed chase. This is usually dangerous as it's bad to even be in the car, and Spiderman, is standing on top of the speeding car. Traffic rushes as by as he is nearly thrown from the vehicle which creates a very tense situation with lots of jeopardy. Once more, this is typical of the action adventure genre which is to be expected in a Hollywood blockbuster such as this.
