DON'T GO SEE SONY'S SPIDERMAN MOVIE IF YOU WANT TO SEE SPIDEY IN AVENGERS!!! Sony owns the "movie rights" to Spiderman and ONLY if the movie fails would sell the rights back to Marvel Films (Disney Division) allowing Spidey to be in Avengers. Ask yourself if you'd rather see Spidey bitten by a Spider again or see him team up with Thor, Hulk, and Cap? Please spread this message and make it viral so people are informed and will know to stay away. Please join the crusade.

If they add all the reviews it should be at 95%!

Glad it's fresh but where's the score? I noticed that some "tomatoes" don't show you original score...what's up with that? I'm new BTW. :D

It's time for Marvel to get an Oscar nomination! I'm really hoping this will be Marvel's version of the Dark Knight franchise. As GREAT as the Avenger's was, I wanted it to be more serious than funny. Hopefully Spidey will bring some 'serious' justice! I want people to feel emotionally involved with this story. By the way, Emma Stone is quite hot as a blonde! Definitely better than Kirsten Dunst as MJ, but Bryce Howard Dallas was pretty damn hot as Gwen as well! Marc Webb is an awesome choice as director! I loved '(500) Days of Summer'! Can wait for Spidey!

I can't see your hopes being contended. The film obviously aims for fun. Agree about Avengers, it was great entertainment and personally I think the decision to go down that road was a winner. A bunch of superheroes dressed up in colourful costumes with Nietzsche-esque dialogs would look just silly.

This movie aims for than just for fun. Most of the positive reviewers say this much more an emotional movie than it is an action movie.

He's just like those people on IMDB that gave 1* to this movie without even seeing it...one person even wrote a review about it.

Never look at the general public for a review of any movie since they are full of idiots. This movie will be compared against the 2002 movie like it or not. The studio put themselves in that postion when they decided to reboot the series 10 years after the original came out. Im a huge raimi fan and a huge fan of the first two movies so im definitely trying to keep an open mind about this flick.

The the hell is your problem? So I have to agree every stupid user's comments. I am not jumping the bandwagon. So back off.

There is no bandwagon. Just people relieved that it MIGHT be a good movie like they wanted it to be and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

You're jumping a bandwagon: the blind haters.

The term "daddy issues" will always make me laugh.
