I did spot one weakness though that may be a problem for the franchise in that the villains are all villainous only because of science gone wrong - they are villains against their will, be it Ock or Goblin (or soon Harry Osborne, The Lizard, or Venom). Yes, I know in the books the villain reflecting Peter is a theme, but I think movie audiences will say "Haven't I seen this before?" when the Lizard makes his appearance.
Let's get a really villainous villain next time. A guy who is a bad guy and likes it. Mysterio maybe.

I read a review that really embraced the fact that Doc Ock was a villain against his will. People who are just evil to be evil (like the Green Goblin) are usually one-dimensional and not very interesting. I rather like the personal connection between Harry and Peter playing into the Hobgoblin vs Spider-Man story... gives it much more depth than just another super villain who hates the hero because he once wrecked his plans.
