So apparently some british actor named Andrew Garfield got the role of Peter Parker in the new Spiderman reboot movie.
Here's a few comments he has about it

That's weird how the live action actor looks like the re-imagined drawn Peter Parker from reboots of the Spider-man comic books.
I prefer the original nerd/geek Peter Parker to the re-imagined dork/"cool guy in nerd clothes" persona.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Are you talking about the normal Marvel continuity Peter Parker? I would be interested in seeing an "Ultimate" version of Spider-man; i.e an actual teenager with the big spider eyes.

I see Martin Sheen is supposedly cast in the film. I wonder if he's playing J. Jonah Jameson? No way he does as good a job as J.K. Simmons.

Apparently J. Jonah Jameson won't be in the movie...

They might aswell not have him, since there's no way they can cast anyone better than J.K Simmons :P

I can't see this being better than the 3 Spiderman movies with Tobey.
This reboot sounds like another Hollywood screw up.
the only thing that bugs me is seeing the whole origin ordeal again, uncle ben, may, great responsibility, yadda yadda.
I do like them bringing Dr.Connors, I guess they're going to play on the father figure aspect of him (contrasted to uncle ben and Richard Parker), I hope it works well on the science side of spiderman, and not only on the geek loser stuff.
I'm not completely sure about the suit, the head seems to be in a screaming red color.
Has there been any word on who the villain will be? Please no more Green Goblin or Hobgoblin.

I think i read somewhere that "The Lizard" was going to be the villain..

Anyone seen it yet? I would've thought someone would've commented on this movie by now. Will probably go watch it next week.
I saw it. It was okay. Better than the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, way better than 3rd, but not quite as good as the 2nd in the original set.
Andrew Garfield is great as Peter, and Emma Stone is always good. Sally Field is a great Aunt May for how little screen time she seems to get. The problem lies in the pacing, it's not good. A lot of the middle parts are quite slow, and honestly pretty dull. Those parts of the movie feel like they don't fit and break up the narrative flow.
Also, for a film that was supposedly shot in 3D, going to see it in 3D is a complete waste of money. There's really not that much depth to the shots taken, and a lot of them are close-ups as well, so the background just blurs out anyway. Take the glasses off, and the film isn't even fuzzy.
Plotwise, it is serviceable. The only issue I really had with it plotwise was that they seem to go out of their way to avoid major points of the Spider-Man mythos, to make it feel more "fresh," but it just comes off a little weird. It's obvious they base the new films on Ultimate Spider-Man (as with many of the Marvel films), but they don't want to really go all way into it, and stick with a lot of the mainstays of the regular series.
tl;dr
Is it worth seeing? Yes, but make sure you don't waste your money on the 3D version if that is an option. Cast is great, pacing is not so great, story is pretty good, but they made some odd choices.
