So spider man has changed over time, and as much as you'll hate me for saying it, but Andrew Garfield is Better Spiderman than Maguire. I dont know why, but every time hes on screen he just screams Peter Parker to me. The story is when it starts to fall. It's your common villain yes good intentions but becomes evil plot. Also the villain is pretty forgettable. The Lizard, though being a good modern representation of the evil villain, is just forgettable. But never the less, still a good flick.

Ok I loved the story line and I'm glad they kept true to the comics but this is how it sucked mary jane as a nerd one she wasn't a nerd in the comics so don't in the movie and poor casting I've only heard of three of the actors Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field tho the guy playing Peter Parker/Spiderman did a good job. Hurry up and make a sequel also one other good part is making the villian the lizard
