I don't think every comic movie should be The Dark Knight. In fact, I don't even think it would be possible to tackle some of these heroes with the same level of seriousness present in Nolan's Batman. On the whole, I really enjoy what Marvel has done with their characters and the Avengers tie-in stands as one of my favorite comic book movies to date.

Back to ASM 2, Gwen's death was brutal in this movie. I was in the dark as to whether they'd kill her but I assumed it would happen. Even still I thought the way she hit the ground was incredibly jarring.

I am still not a fan of the parents side-plot. It didn't really add anything (except to the runtime) and quite frankly I thought it took away from the significance of Uncle Ben.

I too like that Peter is shown to be scientific/intelligent. That's a huge part of his character to the point where he's considered one of the most intelligent people in the Marvel universe. I also like that he's not some bumbling nerd.
