That second poster confused me at first too I wasn't sure if I had somehow missed that they were involving the symbiote in this movie or if that was an old poster from Spider-Man 3 or what. Hopefully if that storyline is done it's done better than it was handled in the previous Raimi attempt. Also hopefully the symbiote costume is done better than it was previously rather than just the normal costume re-done in black.

Saw it early through a buddy that works at a theater. It had some cool moments but it just didn't do it for me.

I'll reiterate.
The good:
The bad:
And thinking back on it:
The test screening running time was about 2:40 and it's now down to 2:22. Could have easily been trimmed even more.

Of course. If they go too long without producing a movie, then the rights revert back to Marvel. Hell will freeze over before Sony lets that happen.

Yeah. At this point Sony and Fox can't afford for Marvel to get the rights back to their properties.

Currently at 56%... which puts it below Spider-Man 3 at 63%.
I'm really thinking about skipping this one now. I liked ASM as an entertaining Spider-Man movie. It wasn't sublime, it really didn't show us anything we hadn't seen before, and despite all of its dramatic aspersions it really hit every superhero movie trope imaginable, but even still it was enjoyable enough on those terms. Solid.
The more reviews I read, the less enthusiastic I get about the project. It sounds like a royal mess.

They really are neck and neck. This has a 6/10 score overall which is roughly a 3 out of 5 average among all critics. Spider-man 3 had a 6.2 out of 10.
This seems to have the same issues as Man of Steel -- but with better non-action scenes thrown in, mixed with overlong, bland action sequences.
Unsurprisingly, Man of Steel also had a 56%

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014, Webb) S: Foxx and Friends
i knew it... this was bad from the beginning. Hence the reason why i wanted Marvel to take back Spiderman and do justice. I will still watch but Sony is just screwing it up with tons of villians

To both X-men and Spider-man's credit, X2 and Spider-man 2 are still imo the best marvel movies out there.
The other entries in both franchises, The Wolverine aside, don't even come close.

Kind of tough to say Man of Steel was much more enjoyable than this if you haven't seen it, though the previews don't instill much hope in me either.
I've fallen asleep everytime I've tried to watch Man of Steel so this doesn't have too far to go to be better, but then again I fell asleep during Raimi's Spider-man as well.

Any chance means not definitive.
But I agree, as I think this movie looks about as good as Spider-man 3.
