I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I almost stopped watching this after the first 10 minutes. I thought where the hell did they dig this actor up? Immature, silly and just plain annoying, I did decide to keep going and see what would transpire.I'm a fan of the original Spider Man movies with Toby MaGuire. I never saw the ones that followed afterward so I can't talk about the other actor who portrayed the legendary Super-Hero.Other users talk about how Spider-Man played by Tom Cameron is the youngest actor to play the role. Physically not so much. He doesn't strike me as any younger looking than Toby MaGuire looked in the very first Spider-Man movie.. After all Peter Parker is still a high school kid, but it's his lack of maturity and his personality that makes him appear younger than any other Peter Parker/Spider-Man we've seen. Perhaps they should have titled this Spider-Boy cause he's a far cry from a man.As for the acting. The acting was very good. Robert Downey Jr. was great as he always is and as for Michael Keaton. For me Michael Keaton who plays Adrian Toomas/Vulture and who was the original from the early Batman movies and who remains my favorite. I never cared for the other actors in that role. He was great in this movie as well..Up to the first 15 minutes of this film though, I kept waiting for something fun, or exciting to happen. Finally at 16 minutes in I got my wish. Tom Cameron once in the role of Spider-Man was a bit more bearable.When he rescues an owner of a grocery store after fighting some crooks dressed as "the Avengers" who attempted to rob the place, he brings the store owner outside and also has the owner's cat in his arms. He got points from me, for rescuing the furry feline.This movie picks up, I've read after the last Avengers movie where Spider-Man comes to Tony Stark's aid (didn't see that movie). So in this movie he is pretty much obsessed with doing another job for Tony Stark and The Avengers. But in the meantime he does his thing of fighting the bad guys, restoring the peace etc. Everyone around him though including his guard/chaperone, a guy named "Happy" played by Jon Favreau, treats him like a rather annoying kid, and even many of his high school peers who don't realize he's really Spider-Man and make fun of him. But his closest friend Ned played by Jacob Batalon, one night finds out who he really is. The biggest surprise in this movie was how they portrayed Aunt May. Instead of a rather grand motherly looking older type they portrayed her as a much younger woman with sex appeal. This did not make sense at all to me. Even give the fact that Peter Parker is only 15 in this movie and in the original, he was a high school senior at 17. Still in 2 years his Aunt wouldn't have aged that much. So they basically changed it totally for this movie.The SFX were great in the movie as to be expected. The scene involving the rescue at the Washington Monument was exciting and awesome. And the little miniature spider "Droney", a flying interrogation robot was cute and cool.And Spidey's biggest help is from the computerized voice that's part of the program in his suit. He names her "Carrie," but sometimes she is too literal. asking him frequently, whenever a bad guy is identified, if he wants her to engage "Instant kill switch." :)There was more humorous moments too. When the guy who's been selling the high tech weapons gives Spidey a couple tips after he seals the guys trunk, as Spider-Man is racing away the guy asks if he's going to fix his trunk, that he has ice cream in there. Spider-Man says, "You deserved that! You deserved that, you're a criminal!"What's funny too is that Spider-Man is referred to by some of the bad guys as "Spider-guy."Another thing is, as in other Spider-Man movies the police still view Spider-Man as a threat and often get in his way even with all the help he's given them. It's the people who view Spider-Man and the other super forces as heroes.The ending is spectacular, and more surprises in store, which some of them complicate matters but at that point I was glad that I continued watching. I highly recommend this movie if you can get past the first 10 minutes as I did, you just might find it fun and entertaining.

Best Spider-Man film ever!
Cinematic transposition faithful to the comic strip.

Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider and learns to use his new powers - to climb and spin web - for the greater good, in case you didn't know the story. Notwithstanding the technical artistry, visual effects and a solid enough storyline, the lead character could be construed as an over-excited portrayal of the Peter Parker character that older audiences are accustomed to - it's a teenage comedy. The main battle sequence does not stir and this is mainly due to the use of CGI which makes this look like more of a cartoon than a live action movie.
All in all it feels like an inconsequential edition to the already marvellous film series at this stage. The set pieces are unremarkable but Holland's ability to capture the restless adolescent spirit that needs public affirmation is well portrayed. It will be a giddy treat for teenagers...but it will grate with some older viewers.

In S-M:H Peter Parker is the biggest doucheregal in the history of doucheregals he's as smart as a doucheregal and he acts like a total DoucheRegal the whoooole movie long & it's kind of funny because Peter Parker/Spider-Man/Spiderman is totally NOT a doucheregal at all based off a consensus understanding and the fans undying love for our comic book hero did you know Peter Parker is actually hyper intelligent with a beautiful, cunning disposition & he is definitely not a doucheregal let alone the biggest douche......I LOVE THIS MOVIE BUT THEY made Peter Parker pure, annoying, doucheregally. Marisa Tomei is my all time favorite movie babe I'm not even kidding anymore I'm sick of it. I love Marisa so much God she's gorgeous all-time! I love Marisa Tomei. Old Aunt May was a relic from the comic past & the new, young Aunt May (fire hot Marisa Tomei) is the way to go for the big screen.i LOVE this movie & the incorporation of his new advanced spidy suit but Peter Parker is the worst! in this. Nothing like he should be. Spiderman is the Strongest Superhero of any & the BEST!
