I know the views have been mostly positive but the movie seemed to drag on for too long, also the end scene with the rhino fight I fought was the WORST CLIFFHANGER ever even though they show that scene in the trailer I find that element misleading. The trailer looked amazing so I went to go and watch the movie but I was too disappointed and considering leaving at many points of the film. I have to say this is the worst Spiderman movie made so far I think although this is MY OPINION. Many of my friends have said they enjoyed it but I just could not see why. I would not recommend this movie a waste of time and money.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really didn't know what to think of this movie it was poorly edited, the villains were cramped in and the story started out alright but then was just rushed for the latter part of the film and i predicted everything in this film. But there was some light, the acting, the only good part of the movie, Garfield suited Spider-Man and played Parker well, Emma Stone was great but Paul Giamatti as Rhino, the wrong decision, he was only on screen for a few minutes as rhino and he really did not suit the part i was almost laughing just at how over the top he was making the rhino look, so i feel someone else would have better suited the role of Rhino. Anyway, moving along the foreshadowing seen in one scene later in the film revealed that we may see the sinister six in the next installment of the Amazing Spider-Man series- i really do hope they go along with this. Anyway on to the negative aspects of the film- the editing, horrible the film was so jumbled it was making the editing from Dead Man Down look good. There would be an action scene and then it would flick to an out of the place scene not serving any story or actually anything purposeful. And now the story- the most predictable story ever, there was no surprises- NONE, i was bored when there wasn't action and even then some action scenes were just poorly written. And now finally the extremely strange scene where Spider-Man shoots a web which has a hand at the end of it, there is some symbolism here (as he just about to save someone and it is as if he is reaching out for them, and lending his hand- stupid because Spider-Man is a superhero, and i would expect this from a superhero)but this scene is just pointless, stupid and actually a bit embarrassing and it really did ruin the movie for me. To conclude the movie had limited ups and some good moments but for the most part it was a pile of predictable junk. 6/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like Spider-Man, just not this one. To open the movie with a villain ramming and running over cars, which would cause death and destruction to their drivers, Our "Hero" cracks jokes and does very little to actually stop the vehicle. Aquick webbing of the driver would have saved lives. However the director thought we needed EXCESSIVE comic relief. The COMIC relief never stops. The body language of the "Hero" is just goofy. I will never get the image of the "Hero" walking around out of my mind. When he does all I can see is a CLOWN walking around in swim fins. Another point to be made is how to continuously make a kiss shared by a couple, that is so in love, look awkward. They are a couple in REAL LIFE, they know how to kiss. By the end of the movie I just wanted him to go away and villainy to win. I am sad for Stan Lee and what Sony has done. Be Strong Stan Lee, someone will save the image of Spider-Man and make him a believable hero again.… Expand

The script was good and the CGI was mesmerizing. Jamie Foxx did a good job of getting the audience to empathize with Max Dillon a social outcast. Furthermore Dane DeHaan was brilliant as Harry Osborne. But there were negatives. I felt that for a superhero film the key thing it lacked that every superhero film has is action. There were barely any fight scenes between Spiderman and the villains. Leading on from that point I have to say that in the first film I really got into the Peter/Gwen relationship but in this film I didn't connect with it at all and when it came to her death scene I was actually rooting for her to die, I feel that there was to much focus on this relationship and so it became boring.I felt that despite Dane DeHaan's great performance there wasn't enough of the Green Goblin. he is one of Spidermans greatest villains and he barely got five minutes also I was looking forward to seeing Rhino and he got even less time. Overall the acting and the script were good but the story didn't give off the superhero vibe as there was a lack of focus on the villains but still a decent film.… Expand

I'm not quite why there's all these high scores for this film? I'm all for everyone having their own opinions and so on, but this film is a turkey. I've given it a 4 for some great special effects, however the rest of the film has issues. The script is horrible, I can't take to Garfield as Peter Parker I actually find his Peter to be irritating. The story is all so inconsistent too, he saves Jamie Foxx's character but not the driver of the taxi or the drivers of the vehicles being hit, crushed or destroyed. We're only in in the first what ten minutes here. The pacing is way off, I actually turned it off just after Harry's change as I was so bored. It felt like I'd been watching for hours, my wife even went to bed about 30 minutes in. Actually I haven't wrote a review of the first "Amazing Spider-man" but if I did I would repeat myself quite a bit!

Must do better, really need to get all Marvel characters back under one movie making roof.… Expand

There's a particular feel that the Spider-man has and I felt like he was delivered as well as he could have been but the other acting performances and weak plot and subplots just watered down that feel. Problems started popping up that beg the question why they bothered to reboot this superhero. What's the point of Rhino? How come Jamie Foxx's character has a way weird and awkward personality then just magically becomes BA after he gets superpowers. (Okay common issue in many superhero films but that doesn't change the lack of development in the villains.) The boyfriend, girlfriend, just friends, fluctuations were just too labored and plain wasted time. I mean estrogen much? That being said, I liked Emma Stone. I felt like she stepped into her character nicely but they totally had to ruin that didn't they. This movie isn't a total loss, its worth a watch or two at best.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A mostly underwhelming sequel which shoehorns two villains in with literally no development, the character of Max becomes the villain electro in a way that makes no sense even in terms of super hero movies with such trivial motivations he is immediately unbelievable as a character. Il give the movie credit for actually having the balls to kill off the love interest which results in a pretty emotional scene. Acting is pretty good from everyone involved, but overall the movie left a lot to be desired. If they can't even develop one villain I dread to think what will happen in the sequel when they squeeze as many as they can in.… Expand

What it does wrong, it does it REALLY wrong!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic movie about a young couple struggling to adapt to their adult transition, that forgets it's a super hero movie. To the point, that I found the Spiderman scenes annoying, for I was more interested in Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy's relationship.

That's a problem....simply because I paid to see Spiderman and I'm into elements of the movie instead that make me want to not see the web-hero. A more appropriate tittle for this movie would be "Love in Manhattan" or "Web of Love", because it completely nails a completely different move than the one it was intended to be.

I enjoy the first movie, and I enjoy elements of this one. Yet, after this one I'm not looking forward to The Amazing Spiderman 3... Let's hope the Sinister Six give a new fresh air to the spidey universe. For I still believe Sony can turn around this franchise.… Expand

There are generally good moments within the film such as Marc Webb's visual direction with the film, the cinematography (some of the scenes around New York look great) and Andrew Garfield's performance as Spider-man is top notch. But of course the problems with the film generally revolve around the story. Why should I care about Dane Dehaan's character? Why is electro even in this movie, what is his motivation towards Spiderman? Including random plot elements thrown in like Aunt May's new job and Peter Parker's wall of nonsense that isn't even explained. Plus the random stereotypical russian mad scientist thrown in there to bring it a couple of cringe worthy moments. Fans deserve better from a spiderman film and hopefully they take a more serious approach to the story telling next time around to give us something actually engaging and worth watching.

The fifth Spider-Man feature, which is the sequel to the unnecessary reboot, is all over the place, an undercooked cinematic casserole that blends some genuinely touching moments and well-presented action sequences with bad melodrama,The fifth Spider-Man feature, which is the sequel to the unnecessary reboot, is all over the place, an undercooked cinematic casserole that blends some genuinely touching moments and well-presented action sequences with bad melodrama, overlong exposition, and overexposed CGI. There are too many negatives to keep the experience from being the kind of giddy adrenaline rush one hopes for with a Big Summer Flick.

Sitting through The Amazing Spider-Man 2, I had the feeling that screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jeff Pinkner and director Marc Webb were throwing everything they could think of at the audience to see what might stick. There are some good moments in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, especially toward the end, but the whole thing seems to have been assembled by filmmakers tone-deaf to what constitutes compelling cinema. Key relationships are given short shrift. The central villain (to the extent that there is one) is all bluster and no menace. The "resolution" to the mystery of Richard and Mary Parker is an anti-climax. Spider-Man is too obviously the product of computer graphic artists as he swings around New York (an oft-heard complaint about the webslinger from back in Sam Raimi's first installment).

A majority of the movie focuses on events in and around Oscorp, the omnipresent New York City tech corporation that employs Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), the platinum blond girlfriend of Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). Gwen is delightful but the same can't be said of Peter, who comes across as a smart aleck. At least early in the proceedings, Peter isn't likable, although the screenplay eventually humanizes him a bit. Worried that his relationship with Gwen might be putting her life in danger, he breaks it off with her. Loving her means letting her go.

Meanwhile, we discover that Peter's childhood best friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), is back in town, having taken over Oscorp following his father's untimely death. After an awkward reunion scene, it's just like old times for these two, but the artificial manner in which Harry's bosom friendship with Peter is forced upon the audience makes this relationship a non-starter.

While Harry and Peter are busy rekindling their bromance, one of Oscorp's loyal electrical engineers, Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx), has an accident. After being electrocuted, he falls into a tank of mutant eels and is repeatedly bitten by them. Instead of dying like any self-respecting overzealous worker, he becomes a supervillain called "Electro." The screenplay never bothers to establish the "rules" governing him nor does it do a good job of explaining his limitations. His motives are also poorly defined; what is his soul's desire beyond killing Spider-Man? Electro recalls The Sand-Man in Spider-Man 3: an imposing bad guy who's just around to add some variety to the battle sequences. I suppose the real villain of the piece is The Green Goblin, but he doesn't show up until near the end. There's also The Rhino but his debut comes even later than The Goblin's. Truth is, for about half the running length, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn't have any villains, which results in a meandering screenplay that tries to stay afloat by tricking viewers into thinking they're watching a superhero soap opera.

As one might expect from a real-life couple, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone display some nicely modulated chemistry, although they never quite match Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst for generating sparks. And, while events conspire to knock some of the petulance out of this too-cocky interpretation of Peter Parker, Garfield never completely loses the "too cool for school" air. Spider-Man's enemies are an underwhelming lot. Dane DeHaan, who was effective in Chronicle, fails to find his footing here. His transformation is more inevitable than tragic and his Green Goblin comes across as a generic homicidal comic book bad guy. Electro is probably about 50% Jamie Foxx and 50% CGI and it doesn't help that Foxx seems to be channeling Richard Pryor from Superman 3.

t's no stretch to say that the final 15 minutes saves The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from being a disaster. In borrowing a storyline from the comics, it does so with the proper level of reverence without becoming slavish. This segment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 feels a little more real, a little more unexpected, and little more honest than what we have come to expect from otherwise by-the-numbers superhero movies. It gives meaning to an otherwise scattershot production that could have benefited from a less spectacle and better writing.

Even at a hefty 142 minutes, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hasn’t the time for its surfeit of plot, nor for the sprawling ensemble of supporting characters caught in the sticky web Webb weaves.… Expand

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may have great performances from Garfield, Stone, and DeHaan, beautiful visual effects, and a badass soundtrack. But Sony’s studio interference unfortunately overshadows those positives with a poorly written script that’s too focused on starting a cinematic universe, a laughably bad performance from Paul Giamatti, and a badly written villain (Electro).… Expand

This week (as from right now) is the opening week of Spider-Man Homecoming, the second Spider-Man Reboot. Me and my brother have been watching all the Spider-Man movies coming up to this rare occasion including the Maguire and GarfieldThis week (as from right now) is the opening week of Spider-Man Homecoming, the second Spider-Man Reboot. Me and my brother have been watching all the Spider-Man movies coming up to this rare occasion including the Maguire and Garfield movies. We've enjoyed all of them even including (hello controversy) the fun mess that was Spider-Man 3. The only one that we found to be not so great, was you guessed it, the Amazing Spider-Man 2. I saw this film when it came out in 2014 and my brother and I enjoyed this movie to death, getting the Blu-Ray the day came out. It even got to a point where my younger brother had to protect the movie from kids on the school playground. Now we've watched it a lot since we got the Blu-Ray, but that was mostly in 2015, and we've haven't seen it since. Now, re-watching it two years later I understand why most people hated it. It is a literal mess with too many storylines going on at once mixed with bad incernations from people like Dane Deehan as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin, which was definitely the worst incarnation to date. It's not the actors fault, it's just the bad writing in the script for him and many other characters including electro, rhino, and Gwen Stacy. Even Spider-Man was written poorly at times. I do agree Spider-Man 3 was a mess, but like I said it was a fun mess, this movie is a boring mess that my brother and I didn't get through the first hour. One last thing crappy about this movie is the fact that I feel really bad for Max Dillon. All he needed was a friend and someone that cared about him besides Spider-Man, and to do that to him on his birthday felt crude. Now I'm done ranting on it, let me tell the things I like about it. The biggest thing that I enjoy about this movie is that it can be very visually appealing with things from Spiderman's suit, which is easily the most comic accurate suit we've had, to the CGI, which I think is often overlooked by most people. One final thing, electro should have done dubstep!… Expand

It’s not bad? It’s just not impressive. It’s the meh-est of all the Spider-Man movies. At least Spider Man 3 was laughable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [PT-BR] Eu fui muito atraído ao filme devido aos trailers que estavam saindo,tudo parecia estar lindo no filme,mas não...
De fato o CGI é incrível,as cenas de ação são MARAVILHOSAS,o Homem Aranha se balançando pela cidade é muito FODA,mostra o quão leve é o Aranha se balançando por aí,e a trilha sonora é MUITO BOA,tirando a trilha da trilogia de 2000,essa é a melhor disparada comparado a "The Amazing Spider-Man" e "Spider-Man Homecoming".
Mas infelizmente o roteiro pecou,logo no início do filme o Peter consegue ter visões do pai da Gwen dizendo pra ele "Deixe a Gwen fora disso" ,e isso se repete ao longo do filme,e sinceramente,até pra quem não sabe NADA da história do Aranha,já ficava achando que ela ia morrer.
Os vilões são a pior coisa do filme,são 3,Electro,Duende Verde e Rhino.Electro não tem muitos motivos pra ficar P da vida com o Homem Aranha,primeiro o Aranha não se lembra do nome dele,e quando ele vai tentar o acalmar,as câmeras começam a mostrar o Aranha,e nisso ele fica pistola e pega ódio do Aranha.
O Duende Verde em uns 10 minutos aprende a fazer manobras e voar com o planador,vai atrás do Homem Aranha,descobre que ele é o Peter Parker,luta com o Aranha e mata a Gwen,isso te lembra alguma coisa?Sim,ele basicamente repetiu os erros do Venom em Homem Aranha 3
E o Rhino só aparece no começo do filme em uma cena que o Aranha pega de volta os itens que ele estava roubando,e no final que ele está com sua armadura e tivemos a cena em que o menininho veste sua fantasia na frente do Rhino e fica lá até o Aranha chegar e ter um diálogo com ele e fazer ele voltar pra mãe dele...que vilão é esse?Um de verdade já tinha dado um Headshot no garoto,onde já se viu ficar esperando todo esse diálogo,e outra coisa,o que as pessoas estavam fazendo ali no meio da luta?A mesma coisa acontece na cena do Electro no meio do filme… Expand

For a superhero film, it focuses more on the human relationships but there is quite a character development though, it is irrelevant to the action which I'm glad it was

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. U can most def feel Sony's hand in this one trying to speed up the process of setting up bigger movies with sinister six involved and it fails because of that. The movie has way too many storylines. Harry didn't need to become Green Goblin in this one. Not enough focus on Electro who I thought was great and should have been the only villain. Adding Rhino for the intro was great but no need to show him at the end of the movie basically have the trailer final shot be the film's closing shot, like... what were they thinking?
I like that they killed Gwen but once again they move on way too fast. Sony is so obsessed with moving on quickly in both of these films that you start wondering what's the point of making these solo movies anyway? On the bright side I think the movie looks great. It is a very pretty film and spider-man action doesn't disappoint. I love what they did with the score for the film but soundtrack choices felt out of place.… Expand

Though the action scenes are thrilling, this sequel made the same mistake "Spider-Man 3" did. That is, having an excessive amount of characters and unclear character motivations.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie began in such a way that there's no way you could think this is a Spider-Man movie. It looked more like Mission Impossible or Fast & Furious or something. Then once that scene is over, we finally see an awesome shot of Spider-Man. One thing we can all agree with in this movie is that the visual effects and CGI is gorgeous. But everything else, well, I'm coming to that.

So the next shot is of Rhino robbing a truck. And you never know it's Rhino until the end of the movie where he actually wears a Rhino suit. Afterwards Spider-Man comes to his graduation ceremony that serves no purpose other than the ending of the movie when Peter is looking at Gwen's speech. You must be thinking that dude, I've heard of sequel baiting but this is "ending baiting"! So don't worry, we will have plenty more to come.

Now there's Max Dilon, who's obsessed with Spider-Man because Spider-Man saved his life once. Quite nice, right? But then he wants to celebrate his birthday with Spider-Man but accidentally falls in the Eel tank. And he becomes Electro. And I want to ask the makers of this movie, have you EVER seen Electro? From which angle does he look like Electro to you? He looks so nothing-like-Electro that they had to actually specify that he's not Electro.

And now Electro hates Spider-Man because everyone suddenly started cheering for Spider-Man when he came to Times Square. And the best part? The police started firing at Electro? Why? Because he was bl...ue? And then instead of reasoning with Spider-Man they both started fighting. And now Electro hates Spider-Man.

Then we have the glorious (?) Harry Osborne. His father died telling him that he will die of the same disease as his father is. And then suddenly after a few scenes he started having that disease. Now that begs the question - why did he tell him this? If he hadn't said it Harry would've never gotten the disease. Now suddenly it is announced that Harry and Peter are childhood friends, and now Harry asks Peter to get him Spider-Man's blood. And instead of helping, Spider-Man... tells him his blood isn't compatible? He should have given his blood and said that he should get it tested at Oscorp before using it.

We finally get to see Spider-Man and Electro fight in a power plant, and Electro absolutely annihilantes Spider-Man over there, until Gwen comes up and saves him. Now you must be thinking - "wow, Gwen is so sensible. She can help Spider-Man to take down a thug like Electro." But then all that appreciation finishes because Harry comes up. And he copies Joker's dialogue from The Dark Knight and "lets Gwen go". Spider-Man shoots a web and it takes the form of a hand! And it doesn't save Gwen anyway so it was for nothing. In the end there's a sequel baiting; the scene from the trailer because of which we were excited to see this movie came, and THE MOVIE ENDED AT THAT SCENE!!! Like, why would you ever do that?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 can absolutely be appreciated for its gorgeous visuals and advanced CGI. But other than that everything else misses the mark. I really wanted a sequel for it, because I like Andrew Garfield. Probably a third film might redeem it, like how Zack Snyder's Justice League redeemed Snyderverse.… Expand

It's entertaining enough for the most part, but at times it seems more like an exercise in cramming in as many villians/cameos we can, rather than working on character development.

Le componenti di Electro, l'addio di Gwen, la morte di Gwen, Goblin, la malattia di Harry, la morte dei genitori sono tutte cose interessanti ma mal legate insieme. Quindi un bellissimo Electro si trasforma in un puffo stupido.

The film tries to keep the theme of time, responsibility and romance in balance, which falls flat on its head. It also wants to establish a balance between the moments of humor, epic, emotion, etc., which cannot be restored. What James Gunn did perfectly in Guardians of the Galaxy Did.
Both the villains of the movie have weaknesses. Electro is a complex person who is easy to identify with, but neither his appearance nor his motivation to hurt people can be understood. Harry is also not loyal to the comics. That is, the person who has schizophrenia is superior and oppressed. Terin is a comic book patient, he has become a snarling teenager who kills Gwen!
The ending movie makes up for the previous time. But in the comic world, Peter accidentally became Spider-Man. Here, it was revealed that his father's DNA sample was injected into those spiders!!!
Other than this, all the actors, chemistry, special effects, etc. are excellent.
In general, it could be among the best and a masterpiece, but alas...… Expand
