I saw it, and I was thoroughly impressed. It was a well put together story and very much in the spirit of Spider-Man. I mean, we'll overlook the fact that Pete should be getting over Gwen Stacy at this point and move on. Ok, in the comics, Doc Ock, is indeed a villain against his will, the arms are sentient and they drive him crazy, that's not a problem. This recurring theme has already been seen by the great amount of the public, because, you won't find too many anti-Spider-Man people, cuz jeez, he's a lovable loser and an underdog, not many people out there would root against that. This public knows how the Spidey plot evolves, and they'll expect it and I don't think they'll get that deja vu feeling that non-established franchises get. However, if there was one thing that I would change in the movies is that, Spidey's too damn serious. In the comics, he's snappin off one-liners like crazy while he's dukin it out with everybody, and I think that Sam Raimi needs to showcase that more. Really that's my only problem, I can overlook the Gwen Stacy thing (even tho that did take me a few months to get over) the plot change is done within the spirit of the established story; but I want lines like "Hey, you screwed up your theme, crazed green lunatic costume day was last friday!" outta Spidey.
