It was good, but I think it's a bit overrated.
It was good the other 2 get better than the first.
Depending on your criteria. If faithfulness to the source material is important then no, they didn't.

It's called product placement and it's no grand conspiracy theory. Every time you see a brand name in a movie (and for this purpose cigarette is the "brand name") it's a little micro commercial. The idea is that we're all so stupid that because Spidey uses a Viao, we're all gonna be influenced by that to buy a Vaio.
You should watch the movie "Thank You for Smoking." Pretty good take on how the tobacco industry has used spin control (including product placement) to maintain a viable market in the first world.
