So, now that the movie is available by means in which the makers will never see a dime from me, I watched this movie.
Just horrible, for the most part.
I think I put my finger on why these movies rank so high on my hate list. They have such potential to be great movies, but just seem... well, incompetent in being able to do that. Emma Stone is just great as the character of Gwen Stacy. While the Gwen from the comics was little more than a damsel in distress and eventual "woman in refrigerator", I loved the fact that Gwen in these movies was smarter than Peter and just as plucky as him.
But jesus christ there's some serious turd wrangling going on in this movie.
Main complaint, is Andrew Garfield. Not that he's consistently terrible, but that he's consistently inconsistent. At points he is spot on, and in others, he seems like he doesn't know how to convey human emotions.
Next biggest complaint is the score of all things. It was so bad that it actively bothered me. It felt like the music that would be in a cartoon, and don't even get me started on dubstep Electro. BLARG.
Speaking of Electro, I liked him better the first time when he was the Riddler in Batman Returns.
Green Goblin and Rhino exist only to move the plot forward with no real development. I actually prefered the Power Ranger villain goblin from the Rami verson over the Copper Kid from Silverhawks.
Oh and the most outrageously laugh out loud moment for me, is when he's shooting the web to Gwen and it actually forms a hand reaching out for her. GOOD GOD... just terrible.
