katikatI liked the movie better than the previous films with Tobey Maguire. I really like Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as a couple, they are incredibly sweet and the fact that they really are that close in RL bleeds over into the film...
The CGI was amazing and a real treat in 3D. There were some quite LOL-worthy scenes and the action sequences, especially between Spider-Man and The Lizard, were breathtaking. The last one, wow, just wow! I also hope that Peter's enemy-turned-friend Flash will appear in the sequel, I really liked his relationship with Peter. Also, I didn't know that C. Thomas Howell was in it and though his part was rather cheesy, I almost cheered out loud!
On the other hand... the movie is nice but quite forgettable. While watching it, you cheer and laugh, but once you leave the cinema... There is nothing that would stay with you and that you would want to discuss in detail.
My rating: 6/10
We also saw the trailers for The Dark Knight Returns and The Hobbit - both were AMAZING on the big screen!
And for Brave - which did nothing for me. The whole "I'll fight for my hand myself" and "let's make the contestants the biggest doofuses ever" irritated me. There's really no need to make women look good at the expense of men (ETA: or vice versa, of course). Women are awesome in their own right. Both genders should be equal, not one better and one worse and that's exactly how the trailer felt to me: Merinda = awesome; every guy, her father included = idiot. Meh.
