Early reactions so far are good. Some even saying the best SM movie since Spider-Man 2 Honestly I have no idea how to take a comment like that in terms of my tastes since personally I think Amazing 1 is a lot better than 2 is. Still, good to hear some early buzz. I'm curious...how do you feel ASM 1 was better than Spider-Man 2?

I'm curious...how do you feel ASM 1 was better than Spider-Man 2? Well, ASM has some stupid shit in it, like the blatantly obvious doomsday machine and the crane operator scene, but a lot of the more emotional stuff did work for me, it feels a lot more cohesive narratively than any of the Raimi movies, and it has far better action. 2 I thought was easily the best of the Raimi movies but a lot of it's pretty hokey and corny, it has major plot events like the loss of powers stuff that are just there for being there and don't really have an explanation or overall point (see also the complete implausibility of the mask thing), and Doc Ock's motivation and actions are all over the map and don't really make all that much sense when thought about on any level beyond, "The tentacles are making him crazy." It's a fine movie but I don't love it by any stretch. Granted good part of that might be that I didn't see 1 and 2 until after I'd seen Amazing 1. Probably also why honestly I think 1 and 3 are about the same level of quality as each other, and if anything 1 might be a little worse since I've seen 3 more than once and as bad as Venom is I can take him more seriously as a threat than I do Green Goblin

Dafoe was great as Norman otherwise and I liked him a lot more out of his ridiculous Goblin costume. I also liked ASM1 a lot, though a big part of it was the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. I never really felt that same chemistry between Maguire and Dunst.

I wish I was more looking forward to this, but high school Peter Parker being babysat by Iron Man doesn't interest me at all.
I'd much rather see Peter as an adult, because it feels like the films never let us get there before rebooting again. All the best Spider-Man stories in comics took place while Peter was an adult, yet here we are watching him deal with high school again.
Honestly, they could have their cake and eat it too if they'd use Miles as the teenage Spidey and Peter as adult Spidey. I'd rather watch that mentorship over Peter/Tony Stark.

It's really annoying because Spidey was only in High school for like 3 years... He spent way more in College... but even that ended in 1978. The Majority of his existence has been post schooling (As has a number of his big supporting cast) ... but they insist that he's the perennial High Schooler for some reason.

Spider-Man + Peter Pan = Spider-Pan?

Unless it's explicitly stated or referenced in the movie that that kid that Iron Man saves at the Stark Expo is in fact Peter, I will take this factoid out of the mouth of the movie's star (in conversation with the movie's producer) as a piece of humourous, Roy Thomas-esque fan headcanon.

For the high school thing, there's an argument that since the character is an allegory for growing up, he should be perpetually young sorta like Archie. I don't necessarily agree, but can see the argument.
For what it's worth, when I asked Ditko about it, he didn't come in favor of one or the other. All he really said was that it was up to the creators of a character to decide despite what "whiners" (his word) said
