Just saw it a few hours ago. I was expecting it to be horrible and find myself hating after reading so many lukewarm (at best) reviews from both fans and critics, but it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. Still, the film suffers from trying to cram too much in, Gwen Stacy & her dad served no real purpose (that must have been the worse dye job I've ever seen on a naturally red headed woman), Topher Grace was badly miscast as Venom/Eddie Brock (God forbid they hire a real man to play Brock/Venom - even though "Venom" was mostly a CGI effect with Grace's goofball face occasionally lopped onto it), Peter's fling with his dark side could have used more dramatic weight, and on the whole the film really should have had only one villain: Harry as the 2nd Green Goblin. Thomas Haden Church was alright as Sandman but he didn't really appear that much, and the thing with him being the killer of Uncle Ben - albeit the accidental killer - was too much like the Joker killing Batman's parents in the 1989 Batman flick.
