I think the general consensus is that This is the comic book movie of comicbook movies. Yah I would agree w/ that--right there w/ the first two Superman flix 25 years ago. Here you have a character played and written true to the source material, well acted, fighting a baddie that is equally authentic and well played as the hero is, directed by someone who really, really likes his characters.
Spoilers?? Probably!
I didn't find a false note in this save for a little too much Peter-Parker-goes-Introspective One More Time. That did drag some esp. in the reverie about his dead uncle. Yes I know what that was for of course.
You will love the two main fights here-between Doc Ock and Spidey on the train and on the tower, it's impressively done, suspenseful and Looks Like a Comic Fight Should Look, easier said than done of course.
I also enjoyed the interplay w/ his aunt, Mary Jane, JJ Jameson, the fun cameos--hey it's Stan Lee! the VH-1 guy! Bruce Campbell! etc-and you can't go wrong seeing Dr Connors (the Lizard) skulking around either. That would be interesting-Dylan Baker as the Lizard? Like Molina as Doc Ock-very good.
Go see it and enjoy, it's def. worth yer time.
