Truthfully speaking, I'm actually interested in the Gwen Stacy side of things vs. the Mary Jane side of things in the original movies. Also...yay for lizards :>

You're a Jahns fan, too?
Agreed, his reviews usually are pretty spot-on. I do disagree with a few of them, but evem then I can still see where he's coming from.
On topic: I think it'll be good, actually. I like how it looks, and I like how Spidey will have his more sarcastic behavior in it.

Now I understand that this is a different Spider man its the "Amazing" Spider man and we'll get to see story line from the comics that Rami didnt explore with his Spider man movies. So of course I will go watch it, I mean its looking amazing....no pun intended. It just seems strange since Tobey Maguire has been Spidy for a few years, but we'll see what this fresh meat can bring to the big screen

I am sad to say that this movie doesn't give that same rush feel that the Toby Maguire movies gave me. Maybe because I expected it, I don't know. Plus, the song Hero with Chad Kroger and Saliva really gave me chills first time I heard that song. It felt right to see hear that song and think of Spider-man.
Negative: There is one scene I didn't like and that was the scene where the guy pulls on the knife on him and he pretends to be scared. I felt like I was watching the movie "Kick-ass" when I saw that scene. You see it in the commercials a lot.That's just me. Otherwise this movie was very good.

Funny enough James I've seen that scene from the previews and I actually love it, because it's truer to what the Comic book Spider-Mans's personality was. Part of his deal was cracking jokes at the expense of the villains. In fact the Ultimate Comics accept had him do a inner dialogue and he said that the first time he went out fighting crime as "Spider-Man" he was scared out of his mind. And he found that he cracked jokes when he was scared. I guess it became a way to bring down the severity of what he was doing down.

I guess...I felt that the joke could have been done better. When I think of Spider-man, he was more witty with his jokes or makes some comical whiny remark rather than what he does here.
It could also be the joke is getting old. Every commercial shows the joke and it gets old after a while. Maybe if I saw it the first time in the theater it would have been funnier, but it's like that Men in Black II joke with Will Smith joke about the black dude driving the car and getting pulled over. After awhile the joke just gets old.

Well if you didn't like the joke, you didn't like the joke. *shrugs* And yes repetition does kill a joke also. The first time I heard it, I "Lol" because I thought it was funny. Then after i was watching the streaming episodes of Tron Uprising on the Disney Site they replayed that same trailer featuring the joke every break of the show. So after hearing it 6-8 times, yes I can say that it lost it's affect one me. ^^

It's always so painful to watch the "I'm gonna throw you off the window, now" scene, knowing what happens to her. Foreshadowing?

I think it depends on what they want to do. If they want to stick closer to the comic canon, then yes they will. If they want to make their own version of the universe, then they could just have him stick with Gwen Stacy and keep Mary-Jane out of it.

I have yet to see the movie but a good friend of mine saw it and I asked how it was. He said and I quote...
"I think Amazing is too strong a word.The Pretty Good Spider-Man or even the Waaaaay Better than 3 but not as good as 2 Spider-Man would have been a better title. Dont get me wrong its worth watching, it's fun, and it's a GOOD movie, but not a GREAT movie. Its in no way like the Avengers, now that was a GREAT movie!"
I'm really curious now and as soon as I get some sitters for my boys Im watching it with John.

So the movie isn't that big of a deal I should have known, I think I will watch it when it comes out on blu-ray or in demand. I am looking forward to" The Dark Knight Rises".

On the contrary, I've seen many people actually raving about the new movie and saying that awesome isn't a meaningful enough word to describe it. There were even Spidey cosplayers at the premiere that my friend went to! I assumed the same thing at first, but from what I'm hearing, I'll have to see this movie on the big-screen as well. I to am excited for the Dark Knight Rises!

My only problem with the movie? It doesn't have a sequel yet.
10/10. I can't make myself give it a score any lower than that. This movie reminded me why I love going to the movies.

Argh, yessss. I saw it three times, with friends on midnight premiere, with mom and bro, then with dad and bro. Every time I finish I go, "ARRRGHH, needs more sequels!" More because I'm really curious about what direction they're gonna take with this new series!
