The movie theater was almost full.
Movie-watching is ALWAYS popular on holidays.

I enjoyed it.

As for the credits tease...I have no good idea who that was supposed to be. My best guess?

Spoiler!

is Mysterio, because how else besides a projection can someone seemingly teleport into that jail cell? I didn't think it was Norman, because all we know from the film is that Norman is sick and dying (so why does he have powers), and because the character's southern drawl really threw me off).

Good thought. I was stumped by the tease but that's a good guess.

Best Spider-Man movie by far. Great casting

First off, I love how its a cheese-free movie.

Really?

Spoiler!

The crane thing with C. Thomas Howell didn't qualify as cheese to you? What about the hilarious animation on Dr. Conners' computer unveiling his nefarious plot to Peter while his maniacal video manifesto is playing in the background?

Not saying I didn't really like the film, but it wasn't immune to the cheese factor.

You actually believe those instances youre describing, compare in ANY way, to Raindrops keep fallin on my head, The Power Ranger reject, or the electric slide?

Gimme a break. The crane sequence doesnt even qualify if you were awake during the film.

Spoiler!

The Crane sequence is about the people of New York coming to the aid of Spider-Man. Could he have made it to Oscorp without them? Sure. Probably not as fast, and Marc Webb is quoted as saying that when he thought about how he would shoot it, he wanted it to be more realistic and use the pendulum swing. This was a way he could do both the more realistic swing, and have the city help out. If you look at Pete's earlier swinging in the movie, theres no way any intelligent person wouldve expected to see a Pro Webslinging sequence. Hell man, he even shows what a noob he is by MISSING the first crane he tried to swing from. The crane sequence was cool in my book. With the rookie status of Pete as Spider-Man, and the shape he was in, it was perfectly believable that he was not going to make it to Oscorp in time to stop Connors without those cranes.

Never said it was as cheesy as the past movies could be. Just that it is not "cheese-free". It's not. I really liked the movie, but there are some faults.

Spoiler!

They were evacuating the city and yet not one construction worker abandoned his post to flee? In perfect circumstances that sort of coordination would be a herculean feat, in these circumstances it strains the suspension of disbelief. Even then, it would have been a little easier to swallow if when he missed the first crane, it wasn't C. Thomas Howell who is the one who saved him. It was just. too. much. The "city rallying behind Spider-man" angle was done better in the first movie.

Didn't ruin the movie or anything. Did cause my eyes to roll a bit. Liking a movie isn't an all or nothing proposition.

Pretty good flick. Successful reboot.
Wish I'd stayed to see the post-credits scene.

Doesn't matter, it was completely inscrutable.

Really? I was told...

Spoiler!

The scene is basically a jailed Connors having a conversation with an older gentleman (lurking in the cell's shadows). Said gentleman revealed his plans to go after Spiderman, to a displeased Connors. Supposedly it's a prelude to Green Goblin...

Spoiler!

It's just a scene with Conners and a guy you can't see at all. He asks Conners if he told Peter the truth about his father, and Conners says no and tells him to leave Peter alone. You can't tell anything at all about who it is, but it seems unlikely to me that it's Norman Osborne.

Take what I said with a grain of salt. That's second-hand information.
I didn't actually see it. It initially occurred to me that I should stay, but ran out without giving it a second thought.

Spoiler!

He name-dropped Osborne, but said that was an assumption, based on his read of the scene.

Went to see this tonight. IMAX 3D. I liked it, but I'm too unfamiliar with the comic to do any comparisons.

[mr. tegu]

Here is my dilemma. I see there are mostly positive reviews about this movie, but I was never really expecting to go see this movie in the theaters for various reasons. I was just planning on waiting until it came out to rent. Now I went to see Prometheus in the theater, in IMAX 3D at that because of the reviews on here for it being worth it for its great visuals...however, that movie was certainly not worth the extra money for IMAX 3D and was not really worth seeing in the theaters. I was greatly dissappointed as the story/plot was just silly and in general not very good. So am I to expect this movie IS actually a good movie worth seeing in the theaters?
