I will give it a shot. Saw the trailer in front of Captain America yesterday, and it was OK. I think that Tobey Maguire can't act for shit, but the first 2 movies covered up his shit acting with a good story. The 3rd has a garbage story and it exposed Maguire for what he truly is. Hopefully this will keep a lot of the same elements from the first 2 films as far as tone and pacing, but maybe the lead will be better.

Looking good. Didn't like how awfully unreal the buildings looked when he was running around...

I'll give it a shot, but I would have preferred Raimi's fourth. He sounded like he'd learned from his mistakes with #3, so his #4 would probably have been at least as good as this #1 without having to retread stuff we've already seen.

Plus no J. Jonah Jameson here? Simmons was perfect in that role. I'll always miss his Jameson.

I'll give it a shot. I like the first Spidey movie, the second was...er...okay, but I never saw the third. I'll give this a shot because it already looks better without Tobey Maguire...

I don't think I would have minded her so much as Black Cat... or at least Hardy (I think they were saving Black Cat for the fifth). Besides, they had John Malkovoch as the Vulture. Frigging Malkovich! And I think the guy playing Connors got ripped off. From interviews and such, it seemed he was waiting to play the Lizard and circumstances just pulled the rug from under him and handed the role to someone else.

Just like Billy Dee Williams with Two-Face.
You know I'm glad that Sam Raimi has nothing to do with this one, so far I've liked two films by him Spider-Man 2 and Army of Darkness the rest I've seen weren't any good. And Spider-Man 3 managed to let me disregard those as well.
