I think most of it was annoying, the character was fine, he was cocky and smart, but he kept taking his mask off ALL the time for pretty much no reason, everyone is supposed to hate him, yet by the end they love him, and some even help him.
Also we could've had someone better than Lizard, or at least making him look better than how he did.
It's good, but could've been better.
You DO know that most of the town does not actually hate Spider-Man? It's just JJ (the newspaper guy) who is extremely loud about hating Spider-Man, even then you can see now and then that he once in awhile doesn't hold a grudge against him.
A lot of people complained about Lizard. To be honest I can't see what they would improve. Sure, it's easy to say "he should look better" but what would they change? The only thing that left me disappointed in him was that he didn't keep his lab coat on. He does that a lot in the comics and I think it adds to him. Oh well.
In most other media's Spiderman is seen as "a menace" and literally everyone believes JJ in the beginning, until he starts doing heroism and such until they see it's rubbish. (Even though the fact he wasn't in it was odd) I understand it was one guy who had access to a guy who could make more guys put cranes out to go to the Osborn Tower because Spiderman saved that guys child.
As for the Lizard, I think they could've changed the face, every time I saw him close up, it didn't look right reminded me of Killer Croc, it should've been like the comics to an extent or at least have a lizard shaped head or something like that, (unless the change was still early in development)
I did like how Spiderman acted more like a spider though.
That's not true though. Because in Spider-Man there has always been a huge group of people liking him, even in reboots when a majority dislikes him.
The problem with making Lizard looking more like a lizard is that it would change his speech way too much. When they make him look more like a lizard in he always gets the typical sssSSsssSssspeech pattern, which frankly sounds stupid and personally I don't think it would fit very well in the movie. Sure, some might think "why not just remove the speech pattern?", but then it would look weird since his mouth is all deformed. I think the reason he turned out the way he is in the movie was to keep him more serious.
