I am a big fan of the anime series so when I heard about this movie I was super excited and my expectations were extremely high. And I really enjoyed the movie, though if I am being honest I felt a little let down. One of the biggest strengths of the t.v. show was that each episode was only 20ish minutes long. That meant that there was never any wasted time. Each episode could tell a cohesive story in a short amount of time. This movie just felt thin at some points because it felt like it was trying to tell a story that could have been told across 2 episodes. Also I didn't exactly feel like the story made you think either. Mostly because the theme of this movie has been addressed in more comprehensive ways in countless other shows and movies. However having said all of that I still had a blast watching the movie. The characters are still just as quirky and fun to watch as ever. The movie also has some wonderful fight sequences and the cinematography was just beautiful at certain points. Overall I think the movie does a decent job of capturing the feel of the original series. While not perfect it is still an entertaining watch that deserves at least one viewing.

This movie is flawed. Even by super hero movie standards this movie is flawed. However I did enjoy this movie more than the 2012 reboot. What I enjoyed about the movie basically boils down to a handful of things. #1 the action. I thought the action set pieces were well done and they actually looked pretty cool for the most part. #2 I really enjoyed some of the music choices that they used in the movie. For example during spider-man's fight with electro they used dub step which I personally really enjoyed. #3 a good chunk of the jokes had me chuckling and some even had me laughing pretty hard. It is unfortunate that for all the things that were done extremely well that there were just as many flaws in the movie. #1 The story was extremely predictable. I mean my brother and I guessed what we thought would happen in the movie just based on what we saw in the trailer and we were spot on. We didn't get a single detail wrong. #2 The whole will they won't they dating game that Peter and Gwen played in the movie felt like a huge waste of time. #3 there was about 30 minutes of film that just felt pointless. Stuff that didn't lead to anything in the movie and took up time that could have been used to develop the villains/ set up other parts of the story. #4 the ending of the film should have taken place earlier in the film. If it had then we could have gotten some real development in spider-man's character. Instead all that "development", if you can even call it that it happens so fast on screen, happens in a montage. At the end of the film the list of good and bad things that I noticed in the film were about the same. I recommend that you manage your expectations of the film. If you do I believe that you will enjoy yourself. I give this movie a 5/10

This movie is about as dumb as they come. That being said I knew exactly what it was going to be and I was able to get some enjoyment out of this film. I mean I already knew what the bad things were going to be when I went to see the movie. They butcher history, some times the use of slow motion could be very irritating, and there were many super obvious 3d shots in the film. However the thing that annoyed me the most was the lack of continuity with the first film. For example spartan beliefs about death and war seem to change in this film for the sole purpose of advancing the plot. I would elaborate but any more might be construed as a spoiler. That being said the movie did have several action set pieces that were entertaining and I did have fun watching this movie. I recommend that you check it out at least once. Just know that you should manage your expectations. or just mute the movie when you watch it because the dialog is pretty worthless.
