Spider-Man defense force on the way

I was expecting Uncle Ben to say the famous "With great power comes great responsibility", but he didn't, which was great, since it was just "too obvious" and, according to Wikipedia (I just read it), originally Uncle Ben didn't say that. It was a narrative caption. Overall, the movie was pretty nice.
There were some flaws, though. Parker kept on taking his mask off all the time, and the only way scriptwriters could find to make Lizard find out that Peter was Spider-Man was TAGGING HIS CAMERA WITH HIS FUCKING NAME!!! THAT'S RETARDED!! PETER PARKER IS A NERD WITH A HOMEMADE COMPUTER-CONTROLLED LOCK IN HIS BEDROOM'S DOOR!! HE WOULD NEVER BE SO DUMB!! There were some other problems, but I just assumed it was "comics logic" and went on with it.
Anyway, I didn't like their choice for Lizard, but it's mostly because I never liked Lizard. Maybe that was to make up for Spider-Man 3 hinting for him to be the enemy in a possible sequel. Maybe that was the better choice to make the story more related to Spidey's parents (I don't know about them, so it's just a theory).
Btw, Lizard's face was strange. Should be more like a lizard's or crocodile's face.
I'm going to leave the Uncle Ben thing. Sure, he's not the one to say "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" but I still wanted to her it.
I think the reason for the camera, and maybe the mask, might be that they wanted to show how god damn clumsy and dumb Peter was when he first got to be Spider-Man. If you read the comics, and maybe any reboot ever, you'll see that he makes a lot of mistakes all the time. So I personally think they wanted to put that in the movie in a way that he took his mask off and put his name on the camera. Rookie mistakes, you know?
If I recall correctly Connor didn't have anything to do with Peter's parents in the comics. He is very important for Spider-Man though since, in the comics, he also founds out pretty quickly about Peter being Spidey. Since Connors is an expert in the "gene mutation crossover" thingie he often acts as Peter's doctor when his powers act up. But if their point was to use lizard as an excuse to include the parents more, I think they did a good job.
