PROS:

+ good cast (though I didn't love him in it Garfield was good in the role, he emoted well. As someone who finds Stone annoying I didn't find that to be the case here. Martin Sheen is a standout despite the small part)

+ Denis Leary's shotgun moment

+ solid special effects

+ to my memory the best Stan Lee cameo to date

CONS:











OVERALL:

I was hoping, and actually kind of expecting, that it would surprise me as I really couldn't get that excited for it initially yet heard the good word (even from a family member). Unfortunately it did the opposite and actually disappointed me. It's not a bad movie, but it is a flawed one and most of the things that it does right are just damn near the exact same things we've already seen, making it a bit tedious and having me just want to fast-forward the movie at times which is never a good feeling. I was open to it, but it disappointed me. Still I think I'd give a sequel a chance at least, if we even get there that is, as the only thing truly amazing about this Spider-Man flick was the budget, a whopping $220 million that you just really, really don't see on the screen.
