I don't really like 3d movies, but it's necessary on this one.

JFC.

3d is never necessary. I went to see Prometheus based on all the 3d reviews and it was no Avatar.

Just offering up my opinion on it. It definitely was important on this one.

I know. As was I.

I'm just tired of 3d. I have seen about 5 movies in 3D and Avatar was the only one I didn't feel the money was a complete waste.

It is cool at moments but overall, always meh.

It works well for Spidey because of the nature of his superpower. Webslinging through the city is much more effective in 3D.

I, for one, am looking forward to this movie. I loved the first 2 Spiderman movies with the second honestly being one of the best comic book movies ever. My complaints on the third, more so than emo spidey and too many villains was that I knew that Venom would get the backburner. Venom, along with Gambit, are two of my all time favorite comic book characters. They don't deserve to be side characters the way they were.

But this movie has what I want it to have, The Lizard, a more realistic spiderman (although I too liked Maguire), Emma Stone, and Emma Stone. Who gives a f*** if these two don't look like high schoolers, it's not like they're getting Betty White or Steve Guttenberg in there, you don't complain about the reality of the movie at all but Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield as high schoolers, HOLY SHIT! RED FLAG!!!

I just don't get the reasoning for making it high school. All they had to do was make it college. There's even a specific scene where Stone yells at her father, "I'm seventeen!"

I did like the spin this director and actor put on Peter Parker. I don't read the comics but, from what little I remember as a child in the 70s, Parker was simply portrayed as 1) attempting to perpetually avenge/correct the death of Uncle Ben, 2) being slightly nerdy in that he liked to take pictures and didn't look like Adonis, and 3) was a wiseass. This film and portrayal bring a little more depth to that story by fleshing it out (only child, felt abandoned by parents, brainy, seems IMO to have a bit of ADD/Asperger's).

I also liked the Lizard aspect of the story. I didn't feel he was a throw-in villain; he's integral to the storyline, the creation of Spiderman, and Spiderman's creation of the Lizard. You feel bad for the guy a bit, even.

And I want to do very bad things to Emma Stone.

damn good flick, better than the McGuire/Raimi film in some respects. Plus, if you have read the comics there is one brief scene that you'll wince at.

In the comics, Green Goblin tosses Gwen off a bridge. Spider-Man catches her with a single webline, but the sudden stop causes her head to whip backward and break her neck.

Bad ass movie. Loved it. Very well done. Garfield killed it and put Toby to shame. That's not a knock on him Garfield just did way better and Emma Stone was a better MJ. Go see it.

Isn't Emma Stone playing Gwen Stacy?
