Page 1 of Amazing Spider-Man 2 :-D

Well, for once I've gone to a film premier and although the security setup was laughable, the time taken was long and unnecessary and the usual food and drink additions were exorbitantly epensive... I enjoyed it!

There isn't really much "dead" space or weight in the film as it keeps a continuous flow going without getting boring.
Mostly predictable due to it being Spidey but the way the Goblin and other characters were brought in were, for me anyway, done well and innovative instead of just trying to follow a previous effort.

There is plenty of joking about and light heartedness within the movie and it didn't feel long or dragged out, again to me it was about right.

Performances were good and effects decent, this is the first 3D movie I've gone to that actually gave me a feeling of vertigo and slight motion sickness (as in when you go over a bump too fast in the car and go "eurrrgh") when he's swinging through the buildings.
That's a positive point not a negative btw, the 3D has the usual odd protrusion effects but the depth in it as above is brilliant. You actually feel that roller-coaster type drop/swoop when he's web swinging.

Some of the effects used, for example the way Electro comes to life is a bit scary if you have young kids with you but otherwise it's fine.

Would I buy it on BD when released? tbh this time it's a probably when I usually say No and wait for the inevitable price drop. If the 3D variant came out cheap enough I'd deffo add it to the collection as a nice bit of popcorn munching Marvel mayhem. 

Oh and of course there was the usual Stan Lee Cameo..

Funny you say that, on the radio the other day, the leading lady in the film was saying she saw it first time the other day in 3d imax, and said it was brilliant, but the sense of swinging through the city made her feel a bit sick, so they joked about the glowing endorsement from the stars of the film saying the film makes you feel sick :) they also made the roller coaster comparison.
