I saw it a few nights ago and thought it was fantastic! This coming from someone who thought the original Spiderman was just "ok", definately not deserving of all it's hype and money.
What made this film work so well was the actors, Ock could've been played in the same vain as Gobby but Molina pulled him off beautifully, I adored the scene where he's in the river "I CONTROL YOU!". Toby Maguire too is great, he may not be like the Peter Parker I'm used to from the comics (back when I still read 'em) but he plays the part convincingly. With that said Jonah Jameson is perhaps the most perfectly portrayed character, I would never be able to tell the difference between his comic form and his film.
There are so many reasons why this film is so great, and you guys have mentioned them nearly all, I still don't think it's as great as some of you are saying but it is still definately a work of art.
BTW, the Alex Ross title sequence owned me.
