I completely disagree with le nubian.

it was better than Dark Knight

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is why I'm good skipping Magic Mike.
And it does make sense. I can't just focus on the top right GIF, and not get distracted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha ha ha, I haven't been keeping track!

We can agree on that, though.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Despite virtually almost all the actors being good, I thought the story had all the subtlety of a jackhammer. Ridiculous coincidences abounded, and it was all Your father, Your Father, YOUR FATHER!!!1! So I guess Peter losing his mom was no big loss, since kids only miss the love from their presumably deceased parents if they were brilliant scientists. That have penises.

Matt,
I didn't go into the spoilerrific stuff yet, but I agree. The writer(s) of this movie have GINORMOUS daddy issues. Like seriously. Freud would be proud. How many father figures were killed in this film? This is almost a record. Not to mention the man whose son was saved by Spider-man. It was all so over the top.

Thrive to spite them
Will offered to go see Magic Mike with me if I wanted to see it in the theater (I'm going to wait until it's on dvd).
Actually he said he'd go with me to see male strippers in person if I wanted.

Okay, Tim is STILL napping. Spider-Man may not happen today, DAMN IT.

Nope, Spider-Man did not happen. Sometime this weekend, I guess.
We did, however, watch the Edward Norton version of The Hulk, which neither of us had seen. My take is that, had I not seen Ruffalo in Avengers first, I would have liked Norton a lot. He was pretty good. But Ruffalo set a pretty high bar for me.
I mostly liked the movie, except for the way it felt like it started in the middle of another movie. Like when the opening credits rolled (and I understand the purpose of the opening credits in this movie, let me just say that preemptively), I had missed an hour of the movie already. Weird.
William Hurt's mustache was pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen. Was he deliberately trying for a Tom of Finland look?
I'm assuming Liv Tyler was cast for her ability to whisper "Bruce" with tears in her eyes, because THAT'S ALL SHE DID.
Also, in Avengers, Bruce said he "broke Harlem," but I gotta say -- NSM his fault.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, the first hour of the Norton Hulk was the Bana Hulk. And we have Norton to thank for the Ruffalo Hulk. They asked Norton, and he was busy, but he rec'd Ruffalo for the part.
Happy Fourth, people, for those for whom it still is the Fourth. They're just getting cranked up with the neighborhood fireworks now. At least they're not shooting pistols into the air, the way they did in our old neighborhood.

I'm rewatching the Norton Hulk next! I rewatched the Bana Hulk a couple days ago. But I think Ruffalo will have them both beat.
