Gimme a break. The crane sequence doesnt even qualify if you were awake during the film.

Spoiler!

The Crane sequence is about the people of New York coming to the aid of Spider-Man. Could he have made it to Oscorp without them? Sure. Probably not as fast, and Marc Webb is quoted as saying that when he thought about how he would shoot it, he wanted it to be more realistic and use the pendulum swing. This was a way he could do both the more realistic swing, and have the city help out. If you look at Pete's earlier swinging in the movie, theres no way any intelligent person wouldve expected to see a Pro Webslinging sequence. Hell man, he even shows what a noob he is by MISSING the first crane he tried to swing from. The crane sequence was cool in my book. With the rookie status of Pete as Spider-Man, and the shape he was in, it was perfectly believable that he was not going to make it to Oscorp in time to stop Connors without those cranes.

Never said it was as cheesy as the past movies could be. Just that it is not "cheese-free". It's not. I really liked the movie, but there are some faults.

Spoiler!

They were evacuating the city and yet not one construction worker abandoned his post to flee? In perfect circumstances that sort of coordination would be a herculean feat, in these circumstances it strains the suspension of disbelief. Even then, it would have been a little easier to swallow if when he missed the first crane, it wasn't C. Thomas Howell who is the one who saved him. It was just. too. much. The "city rallying behind Spider-man" angle was done better in the first movie.

Didn't ruin the movie or anything. Did cause my eyes to roll a bit. Liking a movie isn't an all or nothing proposition.
