Its a movie based on a comic, not a prize winning novel

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2014)

While the critics have generally panned this movie, I cannot see how anyone could have seen this movie and not had a lot of fun. Go see it in IMAX 3D, and notice how brilliantly sequenced the action is. Sure, there is nothing you can imagine now that can't be put on the big-screen thanks to incredibly talented CGI artists, but I think its the way that the camera moves through the action, and the action moves through the frame that makes this an incredible achievement in digital artistry, and there are some truly great moments in the acting as well. I will concede that the tortured soul version of peter parker trademarked by the intolerable Toby McGuire depiction bumps that old bruise occasionally, but there is more momentum in this incarnation pushing the action along than there were in previous movies of the same characters. Go see it.
