Below, we take a look at some highlights, as well as some of the best costumes.

    The stars of Spiderman appeared before a crowd of 6,000.  Andrew Garfield took the stage in full costume before ripping his mask off and revealing his identity. Meanwhile, his co-star Rhys Ifans, who plays the villain in the flick, "smelled of alcohol" and shoved a security guard and said "the U.S. sucks and he doesn't want to come back." Nice.

Farrell, who said he loved the Arnold Schwarzenegger original stated: “I thought it was different enough and did not tread the same ground.
