Okay, I went and saw it yesterday, in 3D.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It was good, but not great. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
(Probably about the same as the original one.)

First, the 3D effects were pretty good, with only a few items coming directly into your face, (i.e. the obvious 3D effects that tend to annoy me). I prefer that the background be shifted to appear in the background, and the focus of the camera (i.e. the subject), to be shifted towards my eyes, so that the 3D affect is a bit more subtle. The scenes where Spiderman is swinging on his webs through the buildings seems really well done. Kudos for that, (for the most part), so if you like 3D movies, this is one that is worth seeing in 3D.

As far as the movie and the acting, Andrew Garfield was okay as Spiderman, and Emma Stone was okay as the love interest. No better and no worse than the original actors, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. (However, if Tobey Maguire's kind of dopey protrayal of Peter Parker put you off, (as it did my Brother-in-Law), I can see you liking Garfield's portrayal better.) However, Sally Field as Aunt May, was not so good, and Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben was completely pathetic. (When is Hollywood going to accept the fact that this guy just can not act his way out of a paper bag?) Cliff Robertson was infinitely better, IMHO.

My two cents worth anyway.
