I saw it yesterday and while it wasn't perfect I loved it!
there were a ton of crowd pleasing moments, amazing (obviously) special effects, lots of "meta" inside jokes and references to other films, lots to chew on afterwards...
I was surprisingly moved a few times and actually teared up! sheesh, I must be getting old.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
I absolutely loved the look of the black and gold suit! the first night fight with Electro looked awesome!! I much preferred this look for electro (and this "cooler" Max) to the original take.
I was disappointed again in the lizard. meh cgi then, meh cgi now. couldn't they have made him more, idk, reptilian? more like a lizard and less like some kind of hybrid? I felt the same way when I saw him the first time. to me he looks like he's halfway between Connors and the lizard.
doc ock was great, sandman was great, the other spideys were great, dafoe was great although I was kinda hoping for a bit more original-comic look for him this time around. and how exactly was he that strong? in the comics he had enhanced strength but not THAT enhanced!
during the "rift opening" sequence I was trying to identify the shadowy shapes that were coming thru but couldn't. maybe the FF? I couldn't tell.
I'm not sure how I feel about Dr. Strange. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to like this incarnation but... when is the good doctor going to wise up? is he still this selfish, reckless, impulsive Stephen Strange who feels entitled to whatever he wants or is he more empathetic and learned? hopefully he will be a bit more "mature" for his 2nd installment.
I mean, c'mon, Peter has to suggest a spell that will fix everything? Strange didn't think of that? and more oddly he wouldn't want to cast it because it would mean he wouldn't remember Peter? so what?! the kid's been nothing but a meddling pest who never listens and causes nothing but problems for everyone around him including Strange!
and speaking of this spell, I'm confused... does no one remember Peter is Spider-Man or no one remembers Peter???? so he never existed? how could there be a Spider-Man without a Peter Parker? and what about his former existence? all records of him are wiped out? he has no Aunt May? how does he go forward? say he came back from the "blip?"
and what a great and interesting cameo by a "really good lawyer!" what does that mean going forward?? hopefully MORE of said lawyer!!
I soooooooooo wanted him to ask MJ how she got that cut on her head!
