I was conflicted since as Vel seems to agree with, the first three were abominations. Spidey is supposed to be a smartass and we rarely if ever heard him cracking wise during a fight. From the trailers it looked like he was actually trying to stay true to his comic persona. But I heard the Lizard was pretty out of character, and the whole re-imagining of the origin was way off. I always interrogate my friends who've seen movies I haven't and I guess he thought I wouldn't like it based on the answers he gave so he said it wasn't great just based on that. He might have liked it more than he let on, I have to talk to him again. But I still don't think I'll see it in theaters since I'm saving my summer movie money for Batman's final outing.
