I'm going to see it today, but have been worried that it's going to be more like Iron Man and Friends: Spiderman's Homecoming.

Saw it, loved it. Exceeded my already high expectations. Spidey was my character growing up so I'm so happy to see the definitive Spider-man on the big screen. Spider-man 2 was great but Tobey Maguire was not right for Spidey.
Keaton killed it as Vulture and was a legit scary villain.

I love how they showed his struggle to learn his powers so well and it was great how they showed his struggles in the suburbs.
That worked sooooo much better than showing his actual origin AGAIN. What a great idea.
The Amazing Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) came on FX a hour or so ago and I just turned it off because no only is it a MEH movie, but I don't want to watch half a movie of him becoming Spidey.
Just give me Spidey stopping small crimes and being a wise ass and I'm happy!!
I was apprehensive of another spidey movie. I have been pretty pissed at what they have done with the Marvel Universe. the first half of the movie I was stuck in the past and complaining about what they were doing.
The second half of the movie was better. I was mildly surprised and intrigued by the second half of the flick. I mostly enjoyed the group of characters assembled. I thought. Mr mom was great as vulture.
The leftist "protesting is patriotic" reared its ugly head and got an eye roll and a grumble from me.
I hope they stick with the little bad guys and him being a smart ass too.
