yes but its toned down a bit and the scene is longer in the film, so the piano effect is not that annoying. the clip only shows half of it. its still not great but at least ok.

Saw it. Finally, a Marvel movie about one of my favorite characters (not into Thor and Cap).
8/10 for me.
I really enjoy Peter here because he's an actual geeky character who quips vs. MacGuire Peter. With that said I hate the first half because it's pretty dragged like it's full of padding (at least the earlier film managed to condense that stuff). Also that overuse of the American flag was cheesy.

Bought tickets for my gf and I to go to the Vue Westfield Stratford to watch this in 4K 3D! Expensive, but it will be worth it. I will write a second review as my judgement is normally better on a second viewing.
Awesome thanks.

Bought my ticket to see it Tuesday night in D-Box. I expect those first-person webswinging sequences to be pretty awesome with the moving seats.
well, there is not a lot of first person stuff...

Then it'll be awesome when the seats shake for no reason during the rest of the movie.
D-Box is great.
I know I said this earlier in the thread but this film has already opened in some European territories IIRC and it opens in North America in just three days and the official thread has amassed just 12 pages in 9 days?!
While there is no way you could accurately measure people's excitement for a film by the size of the OT on GAF it's still fairly indicative of people's interest in this film. For a rough comparison it took the Avengers OT just 3 days to reach 12 pages.
Though I see loads of posters etc for this film I personally haven't heard many people actually talking about it. Is anyone else finding this film generating any buzz?

FYI the post credits scene
isn't Avengers-related. Just adds some mystery to Dr. Connor's actual relevance to Parkers' death
HA! If you hear a scratching at your bedroom window tonight it'll be Pink Dagger trying to get in so he can 'reeducate' you on the glories of Spidey.
DO NOT approach him yourself.
Contact your local authorities ASAP and they'll deal with it.
thanks. Yeah heard that this movie can't be related because of different studios ?
But thanks

yeah, the only other movie it could be related to would be Ghost Rider or Men In Black because Sony has the movie rights to both of them.

Dude isn't a reviewer, just a Marvel employee trying to badmouth TASM for some corporate agenda.
It's funny that if you look at the 14 rotten reviews on RT, 8 of the 14 are because it's a re-boot. That's not a movie review, that's a stupid opinion about the decision of Sony and Marvel. Just review the film, I don't need to hear your whining. I automatically discredit any of those reviews. So really it's 54 and 6 at the time of this post, which is a 90%.

Devin is a lot of things, but he isn't a Marvel employee. He gets a hate-on for different films every year. Amazing Spider-Man, with its cynical corporate agenda, just happened to catch his eye.
That's a different guy.

It was only put into production so Sony could retain the Spider-Man movie movie rights. It's not as cynical as what they did with Ghost Rider, but it's right next door to it. At least with ASM they tried to make a decent movie.
Yeah I watched this movie last thursday and thought it was great. Although I wished it wasn't a origin story, because been there, done that.
Andrew Garfield is a better Spider-Man than Tobey Maguire and Emma Stone is hotter than Kirsten Dunst. It has mechanical webshooters and the final ending sequence shot is Amazing.
Hopefully Marc Webb gets to do the sequels too, because we all want to see the inevitable Gwen Stacy, Spidey and Green Goblin story play out on the big screen.

So you honestly expected Sony to give up on a $2.5bn franchise? Get off your high horse mate.
From what I understand, the rights can't be returned to Marvel unless Sony chooses to sell them back.
If Sony wanted to sit on the rights for the next ten years without producing another Spider-Man film, they'd be within their legal right to, as the deal struck won't relapse if enough time passes between projects.
I could of course be wrong, but I don't think Marvel and Sony's relationship is contentious. Marvel gets a chunk of merchandise revenue off each project (per an agreement with the studio), so I'd suspect they aren't complaining about The Amazing Spider-Man's release.
I would say its more cynical to be upset by it. Sony is in the business of making money -- something they're failing pretty hard at right now. Spider-Man is a major cash cow, so why would they not go ahead and make another film?

So glad that all who said Garfield didn't fit or wasn't qualified have been put to shame. That's practically the one thing that all reviews/gaf impressions agree upon so far.
Anyway, great to hear more perspectives and opinions from those who've seen it early. 10 years from now, this'll be the spidey origin movie you tell people to watch, not the Raimi one. Doing the origins again was the only right way to go imo. Anyone who thinks a movie jumping straight into spidey being spidey would've been good, is insane. You wouldn't give half a shit about any of the characters, there would be no sense of involvement and it'd devolve into a live-action version of an old 90s SM cartoon or something. This is the better route in the long run, as you now care about the characters for future films. I wish they would have explored more with the genetically engineered stuff ('untold story') but it seems some of that was cut due to the source material meaning too much to too many people.
I'm guessing that'll be explored in the future movies, though. Hopefully the franchise now has strong legs. With the only main complaints being 'it's a reboot'/'origins all over', the sequels should be excellence.

Spidey 2 was on his top 10 that year as well. The positive review is making me a bit more excited for the movie, but I still cannot get super hyped like I was for the other Spidey films or Avengers.

Avengers is better for set pieces, but Spidey is better for character development and acting. In the big is better world that Hollywood entered after Transformers, Avengers will be better received, but Spidey is, on balance, still a better movie and end product. I think the reason Sony got Orci and Kurtzman to redo parts of Vanderbilt's screenplay was to add larger set pieces, not really to tinker with the story. Clearly they want to tap into the "bigger is better" money machine that Avengers did so successfully.

FYI I have no problem with the angle they took in this origin. My problem is the way they paced it. It's very, very slow and full of padding, especially prior to when he develops his Spider-man persona.
And yeah, they never really fully realized Lizard. I still cringe at the design though - I hate the face for starters.

All I want is Spectacular Spiderman cartoon in live action form. Is that really so hard to ask?

Looks like Asia is big. Guessing it will be between 300-350 million in the US.

I have zero interest in this for some reason. It's mostly just that I don't want to sit through the origin story stuff. I might go see for $6 at one of the neighborhood theaters.
Edit : I take it back. I watched the international trailer and it's looking a lot better than I remember. :-D

Its not a Marvel movie. Its a Sony movie.
Though if you meant a movie on Marvel character, then yes.
weird, i only noticed the flag in 1 scene and it didnt bother me (like it did in the raimi films).
Only in one scene but it was prominent is some way.
