8/10 Garfield was great. Stone was good, too. Rhys Ifans was great as Conners but got a little moustache-twirly as the movie went on. Sheen was a fantastic Uncle Ben, though Sally Fields was a little hit and miss as Aunt May.
Peter/Spidey was written with much more depth and care than in the past. My only real gripe with the movie is somewhat two-fold. I love the cheesy lines as they are integral to Spider-man's style, but some of the plot points stretched the confines of acceptable hokeyness. The plot also fell victim to a number of well-worn cliches. That's not the end of the world, but in a reboot of a movie that is a mere decade old, you should really do what you can to surprise and engage your audience.
Overall, great job. It's a LOT closer to what the first movie should have been and I loved the first two films. I am really looking forward to the next one.
