It's not really the same. While Oscorp is involved, Osborn himself is little more than an off-screen pressure on Connors to deliver on his regenerative formula. There's no Harry or similar figure. And where in the Raimi Spider-Man films, Mary Jane was little more than a damsel in distress, Gwen Stacy actually does stuff. The new movie also comes with an extra story about Peter's parents that was nowhere in evidence in the earlier films. Other than the whole Uncle Ben dying thing - which kind of has to be in any Spider-Man origin movie - the plots really aren't that similar.

Spiderman isn't as good as the Avengers, of course, and all-in-all it's just another generic superhero movie, but I liked Andrew Garfield as Spiderman. If you like comic books, watch it, otherwise, I'd wait for Netflix.

I agree. That being said, it was probably better than any of the Maguire movies, so I was still able to enjoy it. Garfield and Stone did a much better job than Maguire and Dunst did.
Ever since getting HBO I've seen waaaay too many movies, so much so I've been too lazy to report them here.
But, I finally bothered to open the thread, so I'm going to mention my three most recent movies, The Road, Fargo, and Master and Commander.
The Road - Just as amazing as the book, even though the book was better
Fargo - Still great at 3 or 4 viewings (I've lost track)
Master and Commander - Another great one

Just saying the name suffices to describe how great it is.
I've read that there was an alternate ending, what do those who've seen it think about it?

the "alternate" ending is the real ending.
the other is basically the version for american cinema goers, so dont bother with it.

Just got back from The Amazing Spiderman, and I loved it. The acting was excellent, the visuals were awesome, and that had to have been by far the greatest Stan lee cameo to date.

Just watched Brave. Good, but not as solid and structured as most other Pixar films. 7/10
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
Jason Statham FTW!
After watching snatch I really want to see this one!
Anyways, Se7en was brutal, not a fun movie to watch.

Everytime I think of snatch my memories always mesh with lock stock. They are very similiar films, same director - but they are quite good.

Don't make me destroy you
Watched ten minutes of Tinker, Tailor, Soilder, Spy and promptly turned it off when I felt the urge to stab myself in the heart so that I wouldn't ever have to be so bored, again.
It's meant to be.

Se7en isn't good, independent of whether it's supposed to be fun or brutal or whatever.
