Saw spider man last night. I have always hated spider man. Couldn't stand any of the movies and didn't like him as a character.
That said, 8.5 of 10 on the new one. Love the kid playing him, loved the story, loves seeing the theoretical question answered " would spider man be worthless in the suburbs?".
The intro was great and the movie worked along at a good pace without dragging you through the origin bullshit.
Did a good job of illustrating that he is a high school kid with high school issues, but it was well spaced and didn't drag the story down.
...plus, the nod to ferris beuller was pretty solid.
Go see it even if you do not like any of the other spider man franchises. It is a good way to spend a couple hours.
