Saw The Amazing Spiderman. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Certainly better than any of the old three Spiderman movies, but I never held them in that high of a regard anyways. Visually I really enjoyed, the city scenes at night, the contrast between the Lizard and Spidey as they fight, and and Spiderman swinging through the city were all wonderful scenes to ingest all the colors. It is a very colorful movie, and I love that. The Lizard worked great as a villain, an area I think most superhero movies seem to lack. It has a good amount of exposition, but I don't remember any scenes that I felt were unnecessary. It also managed to tug at my heart strings in certain scenes more than other superhero movies have done in the past. It's faults are some scenes where the acting just seems a bit off and there are some scenes fully devoted to "3d COMING RIGHT AT YOU!", other than that a superb film. I rank it's quality closest to Iron Man 1, out of superhero movis that I've seen. Iron Man 1 is the best Marvel Studios film IMO, but is ranked lower than Nolan's Batman films for me.
