I went to this movie with my kids with low expectations because of a critic review I read. However, he must have been a joyless, bitter person because much to my surprise the movie was great. My whole family and my kids' friends loved it. The acting was great and it was different than the other spiderman movies, but in a good way. The love story was believable and action scenes were in my kids' words "really cool". Let's just say this mother of 3 liked it way better than my girls' night out movie pick, Magic Mike, which was a disappointment. But the Amazing Spiderman will not disappoint.
