It was A LOT better than I thought it would be.

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2012)

Compared to the previous movies, this had a Better plot, better CGI, and better action.
In terms of plot, this followed the beginning of the of The Amazing Spider-man # 6, with the Lizard. So, Peter deals with the death of his uncle, the mystery of his father, the lies to Aunt May, and his love of heroism and Gwen Stacy. Executed greatly, and full of humor and action.
However, Andrew Garfield left a LOT to be desired. While he did play a science nerd, I felt more of a- misunderstood yet surprisingly smart teenager with an Edward Cullen haircut and dreams of being a dancer in the next Step Up movie type of acting. I felt like the some of the time he was goofy and other times super serious, but in a bad way. He seemed more harsh with his "everything can be solved with well-meaning quips and violence but I'm responsible when I cause property damage" thing.
Character- B+, for dynamic, while cliché, offered a fun 2 hours. Plot- A-, solid, yet again cliché, but still good. Errors- Standard continuity errors with a few geographical issues. Stan Lee scene- A+,hilarious!
All in All, A movie, but after other summer movies, it is just not Avengers standard.
