    A lot of people hate the Dafoe Goblin costume, but you can actually see some of his face in some shots:



    I like the costume, it's fun in a comic book style way.

    The fights were enjoyable but the movie suffered badly from serious "GET ON WITH IT!!!" pacing issues... I went outside to have a smoke, and when I got back it was still the same deep relationship discussion between Peter and Gwen that was going on when I got up... but the fight scenes were good.. other than it wasn't the battle royale that the trailers had lead us to believe... Rhino was just a set-up for the next movie and seemed completely tacked on for the shear purpose of adding more "stuff" to the trailers.

    while I'm looking forward to it. I still don't understand how they're gonna do a "Sinister Six" movie. A movie I'm assuming is all about the villains that Spiderman is not in. How they gonna do that? Apparently something really bad happens to Spiderman at the end of the next one.

    EDIT: Everything I've read on the internet cracks me up. Online critics are trying their best to kill this franchise, and for no rightful reason. I just read an article intitled "Franchise Fatigue weighs down amazing spiderman 2" when in fact during the article their having a hard time saying its doing bad. Cuz its made $369 million worldwide. Their jumping on the "well it didn't do as good as that one Sam raimi one" band wagon. OMG people kill me. The movie is just fine, and not the worst spidey ever made. Neither one of these news have been worse than that POS Spiderman 3.

    I really like Andrew Garfield as Spiderman. The new flick is really good, but suffers from some pacing issues. Also, the music was really well done for the action scenes, but in the romantic scenes it seems out of place.

    Also, the no end credit scene was a disappointment. In my theater, we received a 30 second clip from the new X-Men rather than an easter egg. I downloaded the previous one, so I'm not sure if there was an easter egg at the end of that, but still, they could have threw something in.

    Overall, good movie, but I think I preferred the first.

    I took my son to see it and I thought it was good but also not enjoyable as the first. A big problem the film has is pacing which is defeating it's purpose for it's core audience of the kids demographic. I have never heard a theater this full of impatient, bored kids before. To be quite honest if I knew it was going to be this bland for such long periods of time with coming in at just under 2 and a half hours I never would have taken my son.

    With that said Garfield IS Spidey, he absolutely owns the role. He is very likable and has that presence about him to where I don't think going forward he can be replaced (in any future reboots or sequels). I would like to see him expand his career outside the Spidey universe, he certainly has a bright future.

    Finally watched the first one last night and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, though it was far from good. I'd say it was better than Spiderman 3, though not nearly as good as 1 or 2. From what everyone is saying it sounds like I should wait this one out till the second comes out on dvd instead of the theater.

    Movie was good, but definitely some pacing issues here and there; mostly just the ones involving the romance angle. Action scenes were well done and Electro was cool, but the other villains seemed a little out of place. Overall an enjoyable, but very flawed film. 7/10 (but a low 7)

    It took too long to get to the point, not enough villian action but did enjoy the ending and really liked the actor who played Harry Osbourne. 6/10

    This was an improvement over the 2012 reboot... but this movie was teetering on some Joel Schumacher style Camp. Max Dillon felt a lot like Forever's version of The Riddler as well. Both wanted to be recognized by the hero and had a shrine to the hero in their apartments. There were a lot cheesy jokes and that over the top german scientist... All reached Schumacher levels of campyness.

    At least the action scenes were a lot of fun. This is probably the best looking spider-mam movie yet.

    Rhino's cameo was kind of funny but it was taken directly from the Under Minor in The Incredibles.

    Mentioning that, the scene where the kid dressed ass "Spider Man" runs out in front of Rhino also kinda Reminded me of when the "Iron Man" kid was trying to zap that Alien in the "Avengers"

    I also felt that the movie was okay. Could have been a lot better action and story wise. Harry Osborn was annoying more than mischievous, but the Goblin was executed nicely, I thought he was kinda creepy.

    I also felt that the film didn't have much action which is also another big let down. It was okay, nothing spectacular.

    This movie was boring. I felt like some of the jokes were kind of lame. Also the acting, I'm guessing they were going for over the top during some scenes but it didn't work for me.
