This movie was a lot of fun. I may have liked it more than the original with this reboot. I loved that movie but it dimmed with repeated viewing. I don't feel like that will happen with this one though. The chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone is still awesome. Jaimie Foxx was great as Electro. The slow development of Harry Osborn/Green Goblin was well done. The teases and builds for the future of the franchise was worked in excellently. The effects were beyond top notch. I don't think that they needed as many slow motion spidey sense telegraphs but they were still incredible. The only knock I'll make against this is that maybe it was a little too campy . . . . especially pre-Electro Jaimie Foxx and the brief screen time of Paul Giamatti as Rhino. All of that being said - I still feel the same negative feelings towards this reboot of the franchise as I did in the first one. It's less than 10 years since the first Spider-Man 2. We've already seen the slow decline of Harry Osborn to Green Goblin. I think that they needed to wait longer to do all of this. The complicated thing is that I absolutely like everything that they are doing with this version of the franchise better. The cast is better. The build is better. Everything is better but the previous trilogy is just such a not so distant memory and conflicts everything.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out. It's a great entry to the Spider-Man/Marvel universe and is what going to the movies in the summer is all about.
