That crap is too old and needs to stop
Its headache inducing.
3. Spider-Man, for the most part, was still Peter Parker in the suit. There was hardly any confidence, and little to no quippage. Aside from these:
"Here's your change!"
"It's you who's out Gobby, out of your mind.
"That's a cute outfit, did your husband give it to you?"
"Hey kiddo, let mom and dad talk for a minute, will ya?"
So there, four wisecracks over the span of three movies. Genius!
I'll give you that, I've always thought of The Lizard as Marvel's Wolfman. Not Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who I believe is The Green Goblin for Marvel.
They showed off Peter's intellect, which wasn't in featured much in Raimi's trilogy.
Agreed but Peter ordered the webfluid from Oscorp, didn't invent it himself

"I guess you haven't heard, I'm the sherrif around these parts"
I agree but Spidey can't be quipping all the time, sometimes it becomes annoying (see car thief scene, it was funny but went on for too long).
4. Gwen was shoehorned in and added no purpose to the story besides getting Mary Jane mad at Peter.
I was contradicting that guy's statement that there were new characters added in TASM
5. The Crane Scene was fine, and it was subtle cheese at most compared to Raimi's entire trilogy.
I'm sorry, Spidey gets shot and he needs cranes to swing across??? He swings using his hands not his legs. That scene was cheesy, don't deny it.
6. The skyscraper was fine, also. It showed off Peter testing his new abilities and "live in the moment" attitude. About it being broad daylight, he was falling so fast that nobody would recognize him. Plus, this was before he suited up.
It was a cheesy way of Peter testing his webshooters. There are other ways he could have done this
7 See #4 (he, like Gwen, was USELESS).
See what I said about contadicting that Guy's statement.
I wanna make it clear, I liked TASM . The movie could have been better, but once again SONY stepped in and meddled with the film and we ended up getting a re-hash of SM1. That's why I'm optimistic about the sequel and the fact that those hacks, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman wrote it

To what end though? It defeats the purpose when the character does other things like leaving his name on his camera for the villain to find, giving the secret formula away that his father hid for a reason or jumping off said skyscraper.
Again, I'd rather have them attempt to show his intellect (which they did, despite the other flaws you brought up) then just say he's a genius and try to get us, the viewer, to believe it.
There were more than that in all three movies, but it's easier to make your point when you omit information.
Care to share? I only remember those four off the top of my head.
But still, Spidey was a bit too silent in the Raimi films (never bothered me), but a bit too chatty in TASM- at points when it seemed inappropriate (searching for his Uncle's killer. wtf?).
He's always been chatty, the moment he finally shuts up is the moment you know he's in danger. That's what I like about the character, so it's pretty much apples and oranges.
The "Someone's been a bad Lizard" made me want to throw my drink at the theater screen.
Again, apples and oranges between you and I. I personally got a chuckle out of it, whereas you didn't which is completely fine.
Subtle? I think not. The crane scene was right up there with the bridge and train sequence from the Raimi films (if not a little more wtf). Don't try to justify it, just accept it. Cheese and camp aren't always bad.
I'd rather take the crane scene over angry NYers throwing garbage at a badly CGI Green Goblin.
The skyscraper handstand and jump were fine, if a little abrupt and inexplicable. Brought back memories of Peter learning to swing in SM1. There are about a million ways to show Peter experimenting with his webshooters and they chose that
and that it's like they're fighting an uphill battle as well!

It's better than nothing, I suppose.

I think that's the point of Spidey. Not really to be funny, although he has his moments, but to throw his enemies off their game so he can defeat them easier. A perfect example is Rhino, which I hope they address in TASM2.
4. Gwen was shoehorned in and added no purpose to the story besides getting Mary Jane mad at Peter.

My mistake, then.

Funny how his LEGS support him and allows him to move faster, which is obviously what he needed to do considering there was a giant Lizard threatening to turn the people of New York into lizards as well.
Cheesy? I still don't think so.
Nothing gets more cheeser than the people of NY throwing garbage at The Green Goblin.

It wasn't cheesy, at all.
