Hey, is J Jonah in Amazing Spider-Man? No one has mentioned him in the reviews?

No JJJ is not in this movie.

When I say its not better than 2 its mostly because of the wonderful job Alfred Molina did with Doc Oc. Sometimes superhero movies are only as good as or accentuated further as a result of the antagonist in the film

TDK - Joker
Avengers- Loki
Superman 2 - General Zod


Not to say that other movies like Iron Man or X2 weren't good despite villains who, while played decently enough just weren't the lasting memories that a Heath Ledger Joker was. And that to me was the biggest drawback of this movie. The actor plays Kurt Conners well enough, but the Lizard himself just isn't a very captivating villian that makes you feel a sense of alarming threat any more than an Alien movie where the alien can't kill anyone on screen. Not to mention that the CGI on lizard looks horribly weak after seeing the great job Avengers did with Hulk.

The Lizard just isn't an A-list villain but that doesn't mean the movie was not good and not worth a watch on the big screen by any means. Garfield, Martin Short, Stone, Leary, Field and the guy who played Kurt conners who's name I can't spell all played their roles wonderfully and convincingly.

Also I guess not having an A list villain makes sense with a guy just learning to be a superhero. Also...webshooters > organic
