Not as good as the previous movies. Very slow & dull at the start. Got a bit better when we got some action but nowhere as good as Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man etc.

5/10

I only put SPOILERS in the title as a possible warning in case someone (Allen?) put some in.

I'd probably give it a better score than 5/10, but it definitely didn't feel like a 'traditional' superhero movie. The Amazing Spiderman seems to tell the story of the characters first, and then worries about the high flying adventure stuff.

I really liked Stan Lee's cameo, his best yet for my money!

Maybe I was a bit harsh but why the need for a revamp so soon?

Better than the last one, not as good as the first two Raimi films. It seemed more like a traditional writer's story, rather than a love letter to the comics.

Haven't seen it, not going to.

Sony didn't want a revamp. They were going to continue with Spider-man 4 but the film rights were going to revert back to Marvel if they didn't finish it before a certain time. Raimi said he needed more time, but Sony needed it now, so they parted ways, and I believe the most of the actors only wanted to work with Raimi. So they just went with a reboot instead of doing a 4th film with all different faces.

I didn't feel the need for a reboot so soon, but I'm glad they didn't continue the previous franchise. Did anyone have hope for it after Spiderman 3?

We could end up with situation where Spider-man films are just made for the sake of Sony keeping the film rights. This, I would suggest, is not an ideal scenario. Disney should flash the cash and get all the Marvel characters back into the fold.

How much cash, do you think Disney would have to flash?

Yes. The performances were good, the only problem was that they tried to sandwhich 3 films worth of storylines into one.
