The Amazing Spider-man

What did ya'll think of this movie? I can't say I'm 100% happy with the way they changed the story, but I knew what the plot was long before it came out. That being said, I felt the acting was far superior, and the action sequences and effects seemed WAY more tasteful than the Sam Raimi movies. For that I deemed it decent, but perhaps it is only because my expectations are so low at this point. I gotta say I enjoyed Denis Leary as Captain Stacy.
Now what I'm wondering is this: I've been under the impression that this movie was based more on the Ultimate Spider-man plotline, with him being bitten in high school and all. I'm not as familiar with the Ultimate stuff, but I was pretty sure Parker's father worked with Eddie Brock's father, not with Connors, at Oscorp. So either way it seems they took a lot of liberties with the story. Oh well, at least they didn't * with the web shooters.
