wish i could say it was "amazing" but it's not, really. it reaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyy drags - the build-up is too slow for my liking. didn't like the stereotypical usage of using someone with a British accent to make the villain sound more intelligent and villainous. to be fair, Andrew Garfield is a much better actor than Maguire and lends extra weight to his role. otherwise, i don't see how this betters the Raimi versions in any way. it only gets a bit "interesting" in the last quarter - but the Lizard looks horrible and looks nothing like the comics version. some points here for being "faithful" to the comic in the Gwen/Capt. Stacey/Spidey interaction but that's about it, really
sorry, but i can't give this more than a 4/10
ok, starts off promisingly enough - fairytale elements, Scottish mythology. but quickly descends into the kind of tired over-sentimentality that led Disney to decline with "Pocahontas". The rendering is very good, that's about the best i can say about this. and the voice-acting all sounds like Americans putting on a Scottish brogue. Bleh!
3/10
