Just got back. The movie is great The final few minutes of the actual flick ( not end credits ) are incredible. Without being overly intrusive on Spider-Man, they manage what I consider to be a major plot point for the MCU and a great cameo in one quick scene. Then there's that last few seconds. Those are easily on par with "I am Iron Man" and "Avengers, a--" Keaton is great. No shocker there. Holland is a great Peter Parker and a great Spider-Man. RDJ is on point, of course. Favreau as Happy Hogan is fun throughout the movie as Tony Stark's point man with the fledgling Spider-Man. Aunt May. Ned Leeds. Some of the visual effects were a bit off. I think they tried to give Holland a degree of superhuman speed that made it look wonky at times. It wasn't nearly as seamless as it was in Civil War. I think the overblown diversification of the cast is worthy of some head-shaking, but I didn't dislike any of the new incarnations because of it. Really, considering how incredibly well-cast the Sam Rami films were in the regard of bringing the drawings to life with real people, (for the most part... *cough* Topher Grace *cough*) an argument can be made that we've already been given that faithful adaptation, so moving away from it isn't all that stressing. I give the Gwen Stacey points to Amazing Spider-Man. That's absolutely the only thing I'll give those two films credit for, though Ned in particular is great, which is a good thing, because he has a significant role in the movie. The twist with Liz Allen and her dad was a surprise, but didn't throw me off or take me out of the movie. Things to do, so I'll stop there. If you're a fan of Spider-Man, go watch it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. May even go watch it again next weekend if I don't have too much to do and the available showtimes aren't terrible. Sometimes they are for second week films in my area. The Marvel Golden Age continues

YES! http://www.thecinemasnob.com/74/post/2014/05/midnight-screenings-the-amazing-spider-man-2.html I'm sitting here watching this right now, and they're covering most of what I think is wrong with this movie. Brad might not even be offended by a pr0n writer linking to him LOL As I said in the shoutbox, if you're thinking about going to watch this, and you're determined to go out to the movies, go watch Captain America The Winter Soldier again.
