My brother went to see The Amazing Spiderman 3d and gave me this feedback, which seemed too good not to share as a review. We love movies and are generally speaking quite a "good audience".

The Amazing Spiderman is a terrible movie. Opening scene gets award for most clichés in first minute. 75% of the story is déjà vu, but with a clumsy script seemingly written by an 8 year old. The bad guy has the worst plan ever for domination, AND recants in the end. The only two good actors in the movie get killed, probably after seeing how badly the script plays out. Stay on the previous Spiderman impressions, and do not watch this one if you can avoid it.
