Well I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb but I absolutely loved it. Every minute of it.
I'm a big Spidey fan (I'm one of those that loved the first more than the 2nd - its an origin story!!!)

People say it had too many villains but I think my biggest issue with Spidey 2 was it took too long to get going storywise. The third had so much going on (in a good way) that there was never a dull moment. And I dont think it suffered as a result.
Yes it didnt spend as long developing the villains as the other two, but 1) Harry has had two movies of back story - he didnt need any more 2) Sandman had enough good scenes (such as sandman's first rising) to really sell the character and make you feel for him and 3) Venom has never been the deepest character - the humiliation of Eddie Brock combined with the dark side the symbiote brings out in its host is enough to understand the character

So no, dont think the characters suffered
The movie was nicely paced. Had some great action scenes (the special effects were amazing - I was in awe over the scene where Sandman begins to form), lots of humour (the dancing in the street had me in stitches) and more-importantly it had heart which, lets face it, without it'd jsut be another special effects movie.

So yeah, really loved it.
Got a 10/10 from me. I saw it opening night and even though I was more excited over this film than I have been over a film for a long time, I wasn't disappointed.
In fact even though it was over 2 hours long, I didnt want it to end.

Oh and I saw it again on the Sunday - just as good.

I WILL be getting it on DVD as soon as it comes out

I've seen the movie twice now, because a friend of mine had passes, and I liked it OK the first time, but the second there were some glaringly BAD acting scenes that totally took me out of the movie. Basically, any scene that had a crowd in it, especially the big "we love Spidey" scene, the extras were so bad I heard groans from the audience both times. I did not see it, but my friend told me that he saw a camcorder being grabbed on film from an extra in one scene. I'll wait for the DVD and see if that is there. I like that action, but with so many villians and stories in one movie, they all suffered from a lack of screen time. Each one of those storylines could have been a major part of a movie by themselves.

One thing they got perfectly: the attitude of the Broadway company. Anyone who has worked in theater or the arts, even in a smaller venue, has seen that exact posturing and ego. Both times I saw that scene, I heard Jayne in my head say, "Boy, it would be great if we had some GRENADES, don't ya think?"

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!
