A very good film, better than the previous trilogy although not quite amazing. I enjoyed it, even the 3D worked at times (first time for everything).

Worst part of the night was the red carpet gala premiere... BORING!!!! Never been to a premiere before, are they all that dull.

Any film with Emma Stone gets praise from me (she's so damn fine), so a solid 8/10

P.S. So much for security - I just turned my phone off & walked it, wasn't asked once

I guess he's the guy they refer to during the movie, but I have no idea who he is!

Cineworld in Cardiff had 400+ in a hot airless cinema. Went to ask if air con could be put on but they said it was - I did have to repeat the question as I could not believe my dripping body could accept what I was hearing. Was given a glass of water in much the same way as a child is given a sweet to shut up. If a cinema cannot cope with that amount of bodies do not put that amount in it! Got fed up watching the walkabout pretty quickly. Rhys was a tad more entertaining than the others but watching paper being signed???? this is only relevent to those there at the premire.

Ok back to the film. Straight off 6.5 /10
3D ok in places, I did look over the glasses at times and agree that it dulls the colours. May watch when this comes on the small sceen in 2D to see the film in 'natural' light.
I was disappointed but cannot quite put my finger on the culprit, the plot, the acting, the waiting soooo long for the film or the damn heat. It just did not go WOW for me.

We were at Glasgow, my wee girl and her friend were 'interviewed' by Gina and thought that was pretty cool but to sit and wait from 6:15 was a huge drag for them. They both enjoyed the film, I thought it was a little too stretched out in places and then rushed in others. I liked Andrew Garfiels as Peter, Emma was beautiful but do tour guides at giant reserach companies were thigh high boots?? 7/10 for me.

Once again I had a moron sitting in front of me.

EXCELLENT FILM !!!

Saw this at O2 Greenwich. Agree with most of the comments regarding the Gala Premiere footage. For me it didnt really add anything to the evening - indeed by the time we left the cinema we had been in our seats for nearly 4 hours !

Great performances from all the cast. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were both at the top of their game !!

9.5 / 10

LOL I don't think telling someone to stay to the end of credits needs spoiler tagging (unless you're going to say what it was.)

Definitely better than the original pussy tobey maguire trilogy, so glad that he dates Gwen Stacey and not frustrating and annoying MJ.
The suit looked incredible, loved the fact that they included the bio cable, as I always thought it actually shooting out of his skin would be a bit painful when dangling from it!
Loved the Lizard! Though i didnt like the fact they used the lizard persona talking to the doc, much like the goblin does with osbourne in the original trilogy....
The action scenes and the CGI were fantastic, and I loved the fact it was so much more funny!
But hey, [spoiler]at least he remembered the eggs in the end![/spoiler]
Disappointed they didn't use most of what was in the trailer, and my BF thought that some scenes were very juttery as if they wernt quite finished?
SO we're both going to see it in 2D once it's released and make a comparison.

Again for me 3D was useless, only time it worked was when he shot out into the crowd before the credits :/
But overall, Id give it a 7/10, think I was expecting a bit more.

The 3d looked great on the IMAX trailer, after reading your review I'm not sure if I should p*y the extra or just settle for the 2d ?
