Factor in the clunky plot and the fact they charged an extra $6 for an opening night ticket, and I was severely disappointed. 6/10

I had similar feelings brewing about how Peter was played because of the way it was nothing like 616 Peter Parker. But then I realized they borrowed elements from Ultimate Peter, who is much cooler than 616 ever was. I also happen to be a huge fan of ultimate spidey though so i think your disappointment in how peter was in this movie is understandable if you lack familiarity with Ultimate Peter Parker. Garfield is definitely no 616 Petey but on the bright side...he's no Tobey Maguire either...and that's worth a whole extra point right there
