56% on Rottentomatoes isn't a horrible score, it's divisive, I'd rather watch it myself and make my own opinion.
I can think of plenty of utter pure shit that scored top marks, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy carries an 83%, garbage, Great Beauty was also junk, got an 91%, Cremaster 3, one of the worse films I've ever seen, it got a 65% which is fresh... pretentious scores, all of them.
56% to me could mean a lot of things, could mean hey it's not trying to win any Oscars but could be fun to watch anyways, it could mean a bad movie with a pity score since it's a strong and important franchise; I'm gonna watch it myself to form my own opinion. 50-ish percent we also got shit like John Carter. Hey, it's a coin flip, you maybe like it, you might not; typical about any movie I go see these days.
What you should probably ask yourself before even attempting to see a movie like this should be - does the movie seem even interesting to you in the first place? I mean, are you like "I just want to see it because it's a Spider-Man movie"? Because if so maybe you'll end up getting what you wanted out of it. But if you're like "I don't really like Spider-Man but if the critics say it's good then I'll see it because it probably has great cinematography and special effects and acting", if you go into it like a film snob then you'll act like it's an offense to the senses... but in ways, I think film snobs get off on acting disappointed, they'll probably go see it just to harp about it.
Thing is, I've enjoyed each of the Spider-Man films, but I find them utterly forgettable, I enjoyed them enough but not enough to want to see them again, I will not rent them, watch them on TV, let alone buy their DVDs or collector Blu-ray/DVD/digital combo packs. They're worth a gander, and nothing more. I wouldn't mind if this film is forgettable, the rest were, but I enjoyed them when I watched them.
