Watched the movie in Imax today. First of all it was a fantastic 3d experience. No brightness issues and even in the action sequences at night, everything was crystal clear
This movie absolutely nailed everything. From the action sequences to the pacing to the humor and most of all, manages to emotionally engage the viewer unlike the first 2 flicks in the series. Even the score this time is great. Especially the piece towards the end. The fight scenes, especially the ones involving Green Goblin were brutal.
My only niggling criticism is that they didn't recreate the iconic theme from the animated series. Tom Holland will most definitely be the next big guy after Downey Jr and Evans.

I've never really cared much for Toby's version of Spidey, but he was great in the movie, in a while wise sage kinda way. But Garfield was phenomenal, really want to see him suit up again. Especially the Gwen Stacy scenes show how good of a dramatic actor he is. Also Molina and Dafoe were absolutely killer. The response that the audiences gave to both of them are testament to their thespian skills.

Anybody else saw Kraven the Hunter at the end when the rift in time space began. Also what's up with the mysterious way in which Peter manages to control the magic box even when he is in the Astral plane. Is he going to be the next Sorcerer Supreme. And I really think they are trying to set up Ned Leeds to be the next Goblin, with all the foreshadowing in the scenes at his home. Also is the last shot of Spidey swinging set in the same time as Hawkeye
