That was my whole point, I think it's much better as well.
I loved the hand like web sling as well. I thought that was a lovely touch!
Went to see it again this afternoon and possibly liked it a bit more. I think there is very little weakness in it tbh.
is this movie better then MOS?

I wouldn't compare and wouldn't say which is better. For me I enjoyed them both immensely.

yeah i love man of steel too.
dark knight rises disappointed me but now it grew on me, mostly because bane and catwoman are so amazing

Mmm as much as I did like Anne's Selina, Michelle was way more of the comic book Selina I know and love but I digress. Anyways, I asked if I could see the movie again and I still didn't really care for it 
the first 15 minutes are damn good though.

It was really better than ton of stuff released these days! Really enjoyed it but I really enjoyed AS1 too! I really think that the biggest problem here is the trailers! They have release everything in the trailers, clips,.. it's really lame! Actually, it's false. They have released more in the trailers than in the movie! Almost every scenes are cut!
I really hope that we'll have spiderman in an avengers movie .. one day!
and big up to marc webb
There is some of the bests scenes that I have seen in a superhero flick in it!

That scene of peter walking in the street watching Gwen was mind-blowing!
The scene where Spiderman try to save Gwen with the webb transforming in a hand was absolutely beautiful!

Decided to go and see this with my fiancee this afternoon at IMAX. I hope that I eat my words and really enjoy it.

Saw it, and I loved it!
It really felt like Webb took the first two Rami films, 616 comics, Ultimate comics, and Spectacular Spiderman cartoon, put all of them in a blender, and out came TASM2.

Unfortunately I just couldn’t wait 2 weeks and ended up downloading the movie. After watching it, my excitement has gone up even more, and I can’t wait to catch this in IMAX 3D opening night.
-First and foremost, the movie has heart, something I felt like TASM one lacked. The scene with Spidey saving the kid from his bullies was really touching, and nails who Spiderman is as a character. It’s one of my favorite scenes ever put in a superhero movie.
-Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone once again are perfect in their respective roles. Great chemistry and their relationship was written very realistically. They weren’t a perfect couple, which I liked.
-The 3rd act was absolutely amazing, very powerful, suspenseful, and quite different, compared to what we usually see in most superhero movies these days.
-The cinematography was nice, some very strong, crisp and colorful images that stick in your head. I hated the dark gloomy look of TASM1.
-The editing could have been better. I’m guessing that had to do with some last minute decisions to remove scenes that were still being advertised.
-Dehaan was great as Harry. I thought he was just okay as the Goblin though. It was clear the fake teeth made it hard for him to talk and their wasn't really much of him as the Goblin. I don't mind that though as it just made me look forward to seeing more of him in future films. His laugh was great too. It's no surprise by now that Dehaan plays tortured very well. I loved the scenes with Harry and Electro. The transformation scene was also very creepy and well done.
-I was actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed Jaime Foxx as Electro/Max, his design wwas visually stunning,and Foxx was very menacing. Before that, his character was less cliche than I initially thought he was going to be, a little overdone, but I actually did feel bad for him. He was a perfect contrast to Spiderman in my opinion. What if the wrong person, was given incredible power? Unlike Peter, he was an outcast who used his powers to be looked at as a god.
-Sally Field was perfect as Aunt May. Her scene with Peter was very emotional and very well done.
-Spidey's costume looked beautiful. His quips seemed more natural and were funnier overall. I liked the way they showed off his spidey sense.
-The action and effects overall were very well done. The Dubstep worked well to compliment Electro's powers though I thought it was a bit over-used in places. At times I found the sound design a bit too loud so I'm looking forward to being able to watch it a home so I can raise and lower the volume as I please. Sometimes I found certain songs to be a bit overwhelming.
-It was great seeing how much the people of NY loved Spidey. Was a hundred times better than 'You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!".
-Was disappointed there was no Flash Thompson as I felt he was very good in the first movie.
-Chris Cooper as Norman Osborne is perfect casting. He only had one scene, but man, was he good in it. Saying that I can’t wait to see his turn as Green Goblin would be an understatement.
-I felt the pacing was perfect. I never once felt like the movie was too long.
-A few scenes I really liked off the top of my head
Spidey thanking Gwen for her Web-shooter idea
Peter’s emailed response from JJJ
Harry and Peter’s first scene together
Gwen and Max’s elevator conversation
-It didn’t really feel like this was the same series as ASM 1. Plot wise it's hugely connected but visually and tonally it feels very different. Missed the spider like quality of his movement that the first movie had, such as when he cocoons the Lizard in webs. It felt like Curt Connors was cut out completely and replaced with Norman Osborn in the backstory of Peter’s parents.
- The revealing trailers are really a disservice to the movie. I’m shocked at how much they revealed, I hope for TASM3 they cut back on the trailers, and promote it like DOFP is being promoted.
Overall, I give it an 8/10, just a few little problems that didn’t really work for me (how Electro and Rhino make up their names), but overall a great film. I can't understand the mixed reviews it's been getting. I felt like I was watching a different film than the one described in most of the reviews I had read. Definitely my favourite Spider-Man film. Probably on par with TWS, though I might have liked this a bit more. This really felt like a live action comic book. So far this summer is 2 for 2.

Glad you liked it Pturtle,
Very much agreed about the kid. And the third act
Same. I really enjoyed MOS and while I'm not likely to watch TDKR much it was fine
