Saw The Amazing Spider-Man... Really good show... Aside from a couple of plot points I think were overlooked and/or underdeveloped, I think this version is superior to the 2002 Sam Raimi original.
I give The Amazing Spider-Man a 9/10.
I caught this movie too. I agree with you that it was better than the initial film project, and the few ppl I discussed it with agree. Andrew Garfield gave a more believable performance as Peter Parker and Emma Stone, as the love interest, also delivered a better performance in my opinion. She is so adorable in this film.
The other one I forgot to mention was a remake of Total Recall with Colin Farrell in the Arnold Schwarzenegger role... Aside from the modern CGI, I thought, "Why remake this film?"

^ Cool.
Any of the trailers pique your interest?

The films you mentioned seem sure to be hits, Dark Knight and Jack the Scientology (p)Reacher.
I'm looking forward to seeing those films, but I wanted to throw my shoe at the screen during the trailers. 20 minutes of trailers is a bit much.
I thought it much better than Sam Raimi's original version.
I thought the movie was a lot of fun. Great action, and the portrayal of the Lizard was great, even without the snout.
Garfield made a great Peter physically. Peter's supposed to be very thin and lanky, so Garfield fit the ticket. I just wish the writers had given him more witty remarks, sarcasm, and a funny, silly edge. Peter Parker is a funny guy in the comics, but the movie portrayed him more serious and angsty... all the time. If they do a trilogy, this will probably change since the story for this one didn't necessarily provide a foundation for comedic dialogue. _________________

Agreed.
I really want to hear Spidey refer to himself as "your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."
And one big key for me was that they made Peter smart and inventive: He designs and creates his web shooters...

Yes! Because originally they were his invention. He never shot web from his own wrists, which annoyed me about the first film. Spidey's signature hand pose is due to the fact that he uses his middle and ring fingers to press the trigger that releases the web.
O! One thing that really upset me were all the spider images. Not the CGI stuff, which was expected, of course, but the real stuff they showed. Freaked me out. I HATE spiders! _________________
