This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like this movie, I legitimately have no hate towards it HOWEVER—
one of the few things that are making this film stand out from the rest of the Spider-Man movies are the visuals and the chemistry of Andrew Garfield and Emma stone whenever they’re on screen…and I guess Electro is pretty cool,
but especially how they did the death of Gwen Stacey which was pretty heartbreaking. 6.8/10

I hope they do a third entry if it’s done RIGHT… Expand

The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Go my hero! Without losing the degree of interest, the sequel continues the success of the new Spider, which must be confronted with more dangerous villains.

Literally amazing! The feeling of being Spider-Man in several scenes, our involvement with the character, the scene with Rhino, everything was very well done. Too bad the villain is a little corny.

The story is emotional, the action scenes are some of the best scenes I've literally ever seen in any movie, the original score perfectly compliments each scene in the movie. I especially like Electro's theme as well as the clock tower theme. Just simply a cinematic ride that left me craving a third installment, that was unfortunately canceled.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just watched this movie in 3D using my PSVR. I love Spider-Man 1 and 2 but 3 was terrible. I hated Far From Home and I haven't seen any of the other Spider-Man movies. I never watched Homecoming or the first Amazing Spider-Man film. But I'm starting to collect 3D Blu-Ray movies now since I have a PSVR. So I honestly thought this movie'was going to suck but I bought it since it's in 3D and it was only 4 dollars. And man the 3D was incredible in some scenes. Anyone that said it sucked you must of watched a different movie. Now the actual movie is a mixed bag for me. I didn't like some creative decisions they made. The last scene wasn't needed and should of been cut out. Paul Giamatti is a great actor but I hated his character here. Why did they make such a stupid character with such a bad head tattoo? And Jamie Foxx as Electro was cool. But why did they make him so nerdy and weird as Max. Jamie Foxx is a cool dude and it was just something I hated. Also another problem I have is what they did with Harry Osborn. They rushed his storyline and it shouldn't have been in this movie. Him becoming the Green Golblin happened too fast and it felt rushed. And both he and Electro hating Spider-Man also felt rushed and poorly executed to me. They both loved him and all of a sudden they hated his guts because of the reasons they gave just wasn't believable to me. They should of set it up better. But they just had too much going on for one movie to handle. Although all the action scenes were so cool in 3D. One of the last scenes where Spider-Man was fighting Harry/Green Golblin looked amazing. And the best looking scene in 3D was when Spider-Man tried to save Gwen Stacy by shooting out his web in that clock tower. I thought she was going to live and have it end there with one last kiss.. But they killed her off... I guess it wasn't predictable but man.. Emma Stone gave a really great performance. So I am disappointed they decided to kill her character. I liked her relationship with Peter it was believable to me. Good acting by the main cast. I thought I was going to hate Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man but he did a good job. He's a bit too witty for me but it worked. He's way better than Tom Holland. But I still think Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man. Give me Spider-Man 4 in 3D. And just stop with all the bad jokes. This movie has some but it was no where near as bad as Far From Home. Overall this movie is a must own for any 3D collector. I wouldn't watch the normal 2D version. I can understand some of the hate it gets but I don't understand anyone over the age of 12 that thinks Far From Home was a good movie and better than this. Those people have really bad taste. So Im giving Amazing Spider-Man 2 a 7/10 because the 3D is so good. But don't bother watching it in 2D. It's a mess of a plot. I would love to go in and re edit it.… Expand

I'm glad Marvel doesn't own the rights to this series. Their movie are good, but are more based on action and an objective or mission, and Spider-man is more about the life. Spider-man needs to be just as much about Peter Parker as it does Spider-man and this movie nails it. I enjoyed the Sam Raimi movies, even part three, but after a recent re-watch they do feel out dated by today's comic book standards even though it's only been a few years since the last one. That Spider-man seems so much stiffer and mopey. Andrew Garfield is loose, the computer effects (if you can even tell it's CG, some claim to be able too, but I don't believe them) make Spider-man loose, and nimble like he's supposed to be. I enjoyed the villains a lot too. Electro felt in the vein of Michelle Pfiefer's Catwoman to me, and even Harry was portrayed great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is somewhat of a mixed bag for me. I like this film and enjoy watching it, but there are a few problems.
Andrew and Emma return and there still amazing. The action scenes are at their best with this film. Dane Dehaan's performance was also pretty good imo.
The 3 villains are a problem though. Paul Giamatti's Rhino was pointless and annoying. Jamie Foxx's Electro was cartoonish as a normal person. He then has a strong hatred against people around him but a weak hatred for Spider-Man. Then he is missing for like 40 minutes then comes back and dies (only 2 fight scenes with Electro, there should have been 3 or 4). Dane Dehaan's Green Goblin should've transformed at the halfway point because his backstory was interesting to me, and shouldn't have just been at the end.
The story gets a bit complicated with Peter's parents backstory going too far unlike the first film. Still I wish TASM 3 was made. I don't hate this film, just didn't like it as much as others.

RIP Gwen Stacy… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Opinions) Ah, the Amazing Spiderman 2. A movie that gets a bit to much hate it my personal opinion. It isnt the best, but not the worst. It has some REALLY good stuff, but its also flawed. Good: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone had some really good acting, chemistry, the Spiderman swinging scenes, music, suit was my favourite out of all the live action Spiderman suits, great fight scenes, and Spiderman was cocky, making jokes. Bad: Story, I mean wow. Marc Webb was asked to do ALOT. I mean, set up for a Sinister 6 and the Amazing 3 while having to contine the story from TASM 1, geez. This resulted in a lot of side stories that actually had something going for it, but should have been in seperate movies allowing the characters/villains to actually develop. Electro was a pretty good VILLAIN but his Max part was just okay. Goblin was also pretty good, but rushed and wasted. He should have developed more but the acting was decent. And Rhino... I see alot or people saying, “why was he even in the movie?!” Well, it was setting up for him to appear in Sinister 6 and TASM 3 so I wasnt that mad with the little screen time as he had a cool suit, but was flawed. Besides Plot and Story, thats really it. I actually enjoyed the Amazing Spiderman 2, did a lot of stuff right. Would DEFINITELY watch this than Spiderman 3 for example. The Amazing Spiderman 2 gets a solid 7/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 This movie illustrates the story following The Amazing Spider-Man that was shown in 2012. In this film, Peter was worried about the relationship between him and Gwen, and he also did not know whether he should continue to be the spider man or not.

The movie starts with a graduation ceremony, and Gwen gave a speech because she was the top of the high school. I was absolutely moved by her speech especially when she said “what makes life valuable is that it does not last forever, what makes it precious is that it ends”. I could understand that this speech foresaw her death at a later time. Also, her words made me feel like I want to value my life more now. In my opinion, there was another scene that foresaw her death, the scene when Peter was likely to give up searching for the clue of his parents’s death but he didn't in the end. Also the song that he listened to then makes me feel Gwen’s death. The song’s name is Gone Gone Gone, and part of the lyrics say “I love you long after you are gone”. I felt that in the movie, there were some hints that lead to the ending and that interesting. Also, when it comes to love, everyone tends to think of the relationship between man and woman but in this film, it shows many different kinds of loves such as among friends and among families. Especially when Peter met Harry for the first time in a while. Their friendship seemed to be good at first. However Harry realized that spider man’s blood may be able to cure his sickness, and he asked Peter for help as he often takes pictures of spider man. However, Peter doesn't want to do that because he didn’t think it would work well. Because of that, their friendship started to break. I could see that to love or to be loved is not a simple thing, and sometimes it needs greater patience but it makes people grow and become strong. Through some difficulties, Peter grew little by little.

In spite of spider man’s effort, Gwen died in the end. I was so surprised by the this because most movies conclude with a happy ending, so I expected that she would not die. In terms of that, this movie is a bit different from others and new to me. Moreover, although she died, she motivates Peter to help people as the spider man. He was very depressed after she passed away but the words that she left saved him from the dark, and encouraged him. I am sure that these points make this movie “amazing”. The unpredictable climax made me think the of the importance and difficulties of love.

In terms of the quality of an image, it was definitely an improvement from first one. For example, the biggest change that I realized was the introduction of photography which makes us feel like we are the spider man. Thanks to the photography, audiences could fly among many buildings in New York like spider man. I felt like I was more into the story than before. Moreover, I saw the 3D version of it, so it was thrilling and really fun. I thought it felt like it was not just a movie, but the attraction of the theme park.

Next, In this movie, two bad guys appeared, and there are two fight scenes. One of them is electron. He used to be a normal person who had a kind heart, but he changed into a horrible guy who can use electricity freely. His change showed us the feeling that exists in the bottom of the human heart. The battle scene between spider man and him took place in the center of New York so he had to prevent people from electron’s attacks. He tried so hard to save people, and he used some wit to fight electron. For example, he pretended to be a fireman, and by using water, he stopped him. Even the serious fight scene, he tried to make people laugh, and I think the thing like that is peculiar to him, and that is why a lot of people love spider man.

I did not expect the ending, and the more the story went on the more I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Also, it was interesting to see this movie again after knowing the ending because you may be able to find some messages from the characters which are related to the climax that you could not realize at first. To conclude, some points did not change from the first movie and other points did change so it combined perfectly, and made this movie awesome.… Expand

If anything Amazing Spider-Man 2 provided hope that the franchise was headed in the right direction and kept fans like me, interested in the future or what could have been if it had not been cancelled.… Expand

Its got lots of great action, comedy, great effects, great music, great performances, and cool villains. The problem with the film is its over stuffed script, much like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. Three main villains appear in the movie when just one would have been enough. The film should have focused on Electro being the only villain, rather then throwing in the Green Goblin and Rhino as well. The movie tries too hard to set up the next few films that Sony had planned rather than focusing on making just Spider-Man 2 a great and coherent film. Definitely still an enjoyable watch, just don't expect anything ground breaking.… Expand

This Movie was good. a lot better than Spider-man 3.
too many villains but everything else is okay.
although its disappointing that there wasn't a sequel to this movie because the movie ended with a cliff hanger.

Andrew Garfield is still very good as spiderman and every scene with him is great and the cast from the first one is still on point. The romance between him and Gwen feels more natural and necessary to the plot. Electro is a pretty decent villain, his character is interesting and his story arc and motivations are way more clear and coherent than the villain from the first one. As in the previous film, the CG is excellent and every action scene is very well-made and very enjoyable. The main issue with this film is its abundance of bad guys that spiderman has to deal with and maybe too much sub-plots. It becomes a bit convoluted and confusing at some points, but I still think that every new character and story arcs are more interesting, original, emotionally resonant and more developed than the ones in the first film. Yes, there is a lot of sub-plots, but they all tie in together in a decent way, where you can still follow the main point of the movie, even if sometimes it his harder than it should be. The last 15 minutes are indeed a letdown and seem forced and are an obvious unneeded setup for Sinister six, but the rest of the film felt much more interesting, rich in character development, emotional attachment and cohesion in the villains intentions and plans, than the first one, thus much better and fun to watch.… Expand

Ok, I watched this movie twice the opening weekend and I have loved it so much since. Almost 2 years later I have watched the movie again and I now have a more accurate opinion about the movie.

First of all, I still love this movie and theOk, I watched this movie twice the opening weekend and I have loved it so much since. Almost 2 years later I have watched the movie again and I now have a more accurate opinion about the movie.

First of all, I still love this movie and the previous one. Garfield's my favorite Spider-Man, I love Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and the atmosphere of the movies is much more enjoyable than the Raimi ones (Probably because it sticks more to my "era").

I think the movie succeeded in action and special effects, performances and an overall story flawlessly. But, the story still has some plot holes and too much coincidences (like the Roosevelt train part). However I think the main issue with this movie is that it is WAY too overloaded with characters and plots and things going on for all of it to fit in one movie. We have Peter's parents thing, Electro, Peter and Gwen back and forth in the relationship, Aunt May as a nurse, etc. So they can't focus in make one plot and make it good.

The marketing campaign in the other hand, was very misleading. I think that if they didn't show Rhino at all in the posters or trailers (and little of the Green Goblin), the movie could've actually been a bit better. Another thing that they do in this film is focus way too much in setting up the sequel with all that Sinister Six stuff.

I think the movie has a lot of problems in its story and that makes it a less cohesive film. It's such a shame because it had so much potential and if they had made it a bit 'smaller' it would have turned out great.

I'm really sad that the rights are at Marvel (huh... that's weird) because I loved Garfield and The Amazing Spider-Man franchise so much. I wanted to see Sinister Six this year! I wanted to see ASM3! And I'm sad this whole universe they set up went straight to trash. Plus, I'm not a fun at all with the new casting choice, so this kid better be good Marvel.

In summary, I had a ton of fun with this movie, but I see why people didn't like it and I understand it perfectly. The plot is all over the place and may be difficult to catch up with. I want to give this movie an 8 since I like it too much, but I feel it deserves at least a 7 for its convoluted plot. It may still be my 2nd or 3rd favorite, but hey, that's just my opinion. Thanks for sticking through my opinion and have a nice day.… Expand

Seriously though, I love Spiderman, but the trilogy that came not 10 years before this duology didn't satisfy me. The Amazing Spider-Man movies were much more faithful to the source material with the web shooters Peter Parker built... but being faithful isn't enough to make a great movie. This movie has a great story, though it kind of has two unrelated villain origin stories. Some people said this movie had too many villains, but I don't quite see how two villains is too much. By the way, Rhino didn't count. He was just some fan service at the end to foreshadow a new villain for the next movie (which we won't be getting, but if it means getting an even better movie from Marvel, I'm all for it.) The acting was believable, but the lead role, Andrew Garfield, had the show stolen by the actor who played Electro, Jamie Foxx. That character was just crazy enough to be funny, and to make us feel bad for how cheated he was as well as how he ended up.

Overall, I absolutely LOVE this movie, but I can see the flaws. Green Goblin did seem a little thrown in there.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesome Spider-Man movie that wasn't as good as the first one but better than Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. They did a decent enough job reimagining iconic Spider-Man villains and taking them to a whole new level. Like The Rhino who they made into a Russian mobster at the beginning of the movie and doesn't show up again until the very end of the movie wearing an awesome metal Rhino mech-suit complete with machine guns, rocket launchers, a metal horn, and can even run on all fours like a real rhino can. The rebooted Green Goblin they made a wee bit creepier and comedic, but whiny and emo before he becomes the Green Goblin, but hey at least they made his military Goblin suit and glider look cool. And Electro the villain who was for some reason played by a nerdy and quirky Jamie Foxx when he was Max Dillon before they made him electric blue and gave him a distorted voice. And they completely came up with a different origin of how he Max Dillon became Electro: get electrocuted by a cable then falling into a tank where he is bitten by electric eels then the tank explodes! Making him a dead body that comes back to life! but hey least they gave him an awesome dub step theme which was the result of Hans Zimmer meets dub step. And who could forget the cute couple of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy played by Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone who still make a cute couple in real life, after all they are "partners". So get ready for a Spider-Man movie that foreshadows and gives you Easter eggs hints of the Sinister Six and bring to life one of the most shocking and iconic moments in comic book history: Gwen Stacy death! So for all those Spider-Man nerds and fans out there here's a movie that will get you excited for the Sinister Six spin-off and The Amazing Spider-man 3 which probably doesn't come out in three or four years because of the Sinister Six spin-off and also the Venom spin-off. Let's just hope that these future Spider-Man movies are better than The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 combined.… Expand

The action is amazing the actors did a good job but the story is meh.

1st off the movie started off really boring I almost turned it off to start playing my Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Game but I decided to finish watching because I'm a Spider-Man Fan and I want to know if this movie portrays him well. I then found out that Jamie Foxx is Electro like what? Jamie Foxx? I was shocked literally. but anyway the plot got interesting as soon as Electro got involved.

Also the relationship between Peter & Gwen was a little interesting too but I was turned off by it when she dumped him just to go back to him again but I calmed myself. Peter & Gwen are together again nothing can ever split them apart again right? Green Goblin kills her she dies relationship is over. Gwen dying didn't make me mad in fact I wanted her to die because I'm a heartless person and I didn't really care about her I did feel a little bad for her though. Its this part in the story that I like despite the fact that I hate romance the romance being there made Gwen's death have alot of impact on the story and Peter as a character.

But anyway the rest of the movie wasn't that interesting to me the fights are what gets me hooked into this movie and I feel like I'm the only one who feels bad for Electro. I didn't feel the Spider-Man Vibe I always feel most of the movie was just the romance between Peter and Gwen. The movie needed more character development alot of character development maybe if I'd have seen The Amazing Spider Man 1 I might have enjoyed this a bit more.

My questions & complaints are What happened to Mary Jane? And Where is Jonah Jameson? See to me without Jonah Jameson Spider-Man isn't Spider-Man. I miss him calling Spider Man a menace and always complaining about him. Plus I personally always preferred Mary Jane over Gwen Stacy she was more unique more nicer.

The one thing I loved about this movie is Peter Parker's Ringtone The Spider Man Theme Dun dun dun dun dun............. I need to get that Ringtone.… Expand

The Good: As expected, the effects were top notch ... but were even above and beyond expectations. Spidey's web-slinging and battle scenes were among the best I have ever seen in a comic book film. The bar has certainly been raised. While he was solid in the first film, Garfield knocked it out of the park in this one as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Once he became the villainous Electro, Jamie Foxx was excellent. Dane DeHaan and Emma Stone absolutely stole the show though. Stone was charming, witty, and the perfect Gwen Stacy. DeHaan was an amazing balance of victim and aggressor. His back-and-forth from dark to light and back was well done.

The Bad: At 2:30 it is too long ... and feels it. There is a stretch in the middle that feels especially long and I can't help but feel that some of it could have been cut from the film. While Spidey typically fights a lot of villains and has a lot going on in the comics, that aspect felt busy here and at times a bit hectic and rushed. Lastly, when Foxx was Max Dillon (pre-Electro change), he was sort of annoying and I couldn't wait for his transformation.… Expand

I love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, he is great at it and the development of his character is fantastic. The story was good if a little bloated, the action sequences were awesome and the soundtrack is outstanding. There's a good balance between drama, action and humour that fits the character of Spider Man perfectly. Jamie Foxx does a great job of Electro, I love what they did with that character in this film. Dane DeHaan puts in a very convincing performance of a scared, angry young guy slowly becoming more and more unhinged throughout the course of the film. His performance is almost hypnotic. As for the final villain, Rhino, there's nothing to say because he's barely in it. Don't let the trailers and posters fool you, Rhino has nothing to do with 99% of this film. He was thrown in there for the one and only purpose of promotion so if you saw any of the three hundred trailers that were released for this film then you have seen every scene he is involved in.
Other than that shameless piece of sly marketing this film is great. Can't wait for the future films of the franchise.… Expand

With number 2, its obvious that Director Marc Webb had to push the ante, by not only moving the story to what we will eventually see, but also moving the story to its logical 'cliffhanger' questions that will be answered when The Amazing Spiderman 3 and The Sinister Six arrive on the big screen. All this no doubt was a herculean task, and sadly, Webb, didn't get it all quite right. But did he come close!!

Let me get the criticisms out of the way first: Electro isn't given the due screentime to explain himself fully - if it was really that hard, why not just have him arrive, and do a montage of events explaining his past and the moment of Electro's creation? I can accept that ultimately he's not the main event of the movie (I'll get to that), but surely if you're going to give a little, explain yourself? And then there's the fact that we're supposed to just accept that Peter Parker and Harry Osborn are good friends, just like that, when it wasn't even broached-upon in the first movie? Okay, I'm nitpicking here I know, and maybe its a fault of the first movie - but hey, at least a little continuity please?

So lets get to the good points - the relationship between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy is the main point of this whole movie, and whereas such a move has failed in past superhero movies, here it soars. It was enough to pass a blind eye to the faults I've mentioned above, and actually recognize, that this film is trying to do something different. And then there's stirling support from Dane DeHaan, who puts a wicked spin on a well-known villain to great effect. Its really evident of everyone in the movie, that for all its faults, that it does work so well. And then there's the special effects - somebody has actually thought about them, for goodness sake!! As a last point of good, having seen the deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray, Marc Webb left out a lot (including a certain character), and I say good to him - had he included them, this movie would not have been so effective, and if anything, any emotional investment would have been met with a bucket of cold water.

And there you have it - watch this film and know that whilst its not perfect, and its a conduit from an introduction to something much bigger, and you'll have a blast. Its very good for all its flaws, and not as bad as many would make you believe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wasn't sure of this movie at first, bought it on DVD and was entertained from beginning to end. Thought the inclusion of Electro would be difficult to pull off, but the storyline was effective and the cgi amazing! So many storylines were crammed into this movie, Peter's parents, Electro, Green Goblin (Harry Osborn), the romantic relationship between Peter and Gwen and yet it was all thoroughly satisfying and enjoyable. The cast were all exceptional they brought the characters to life.

Better than the first and also better than the original, with a twist ending that gave Spiderman a real reason as to why he needs to protect his identity, which i thought was missing in the originals.

I couldn't ask for anything more from a movie, i highly recommend you buy it on DVD or Blu-ray.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this movie from the beginning, the special effects were magnificent, especially the slow motion scenes. There was also a very good storyline giving the viewer more insight into the life of Peter's father and his reasons for abandoning Peter. That being said, something about the ending just rubbed me the wrong way. While there was the obvious foreshadowing throughout the movie of Peter having visions of her father and the promise he made to him about staying away from Gwynn, when she died it still hit me like a ton of bricks. All of the foreshadowing almost made the moment more impactful. I figured that they would try to make a trilogy out of this from the beginning, and I always pictured her being Peter's love interest throughout all three movies. The ending was also a little weak, and while I understand their desire to leave it open for a third installment to this reboot of the franchise, I believe they could have created something a little better than just having him return to fighting after mourning Gwynn. I would propose something along the lines of Peter defeating Harry in their battle and saving Gwynn in the process, then showing the mysterious figure at the end of the movie, effectively leaving the movie open for a sequel, while simultaneously keeping Gwynn in the picture and provoking much more thought from the audience. If I'm crazy let me know but I believe this would have been a much more satisfying ending.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK so this is coming from a young, but lifetime Spider-Man fan! I preordered tickets. Got the 11 o'clock showing on May 1st. This movie opens up with spiderman swinging around the city, and chasing a truck which has future rhino driving it. Its great as the wise ass spiderman cracks jokes and stops the villian. Classic good ole spidey. The action in this movie was absolutely great! Emma Stone and Garfield were great. Electro was an ok villian. He didnt have enough build up for him to really have an effect on you. But the CGI did look very good. Green Goblin was very well done (looks wise). it was like they took an aproach in between the 2002 green goblin and the ultimate goblin. I think he and harry hasd a decent story. Since the didnt kill him off like they did Venom in 07', it was fine. Gwens death the very sad, but very, very, VERY well done. Garfields acring was great during this scene as it was the whole ,movie! The very end was good and bad. I loved it when spiderman came back after his 5 month disapearence. But the Rhino.... one word AWFUL! I dont want to get into the Rhino. Overall i thought this was a good film. if not really good! Hoped you enjoyed ,my review. im new, and only 14 so dont bash.… Expand

Where does the year go?. We can all start to smell the freshly popped popcorn in movie theaters, we are starting to wear shorts (well maybe if you don't live in Michigan) right now it is a cool 50 degrees. I digress, I'm referring to the opening of the summer movie going season, and this year's olympian taking the helm is "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and kicks off the summer in a sporting fashion.
Sure it does not live up to "Iron Man 3" or "The Avengers". However, in the realm of the Spider-Man universe. Marc Webb has enough emotional connectivity to subdue an audience in a trance, With the stunning growth of Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield and on screen girlfriend, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Aside from the original "Spider-Man 2" directed by Sam Rami. This fun, and family friendly adventure is most notably the web slinger's best adventure yet. The tagline itself declares "His biggest battle..begins" and to that I say, indeed it has.

A few years have passed since we saw "Spider-Man" on screen, and a lot of things have changed. Peter Parker is battling some inner demons. Dealing with the guilt of dating Gwen, after he promised her father (as Spider-Man) he would leave her out of it his life. Upon graduating high school the two are forced to make some tough decisions. Though that does not stop Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx) a pencil pusher, who everyone ignores, from falling in a vault of electric shock eels and be zap to smithereens. Causing him to become a forced to be reckoned with. "Don't you know...he's Electro". We also get introduced to an ACTUAL Green Goblin, in the form of Dane DeHaan, forcing Peter Parker to reconcile and understand the consequences of his own actions, even if that means hurting the people he loves most. At the same time finding the undiscovered truth about his parents.

I should probably admit now, I was not a huge fan of the reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man" I just don't think I was ready for a reboot yet, and I felt the original "Spider-Man" accomplished more with characters. Plus, with that being said, you knew what was going to happen. Not to mention that the villain was bogus .. I mean The Lizard?! .. give me a break. Needless to say, Marc Webb has fixed those issues, but inclines new ones. It's very clear that Andrew Garfield has come into the role of Peter Parker, and you can clearly feel that within the opening scenes, and it's just a treat to watch. The on-screen romance between Parker and Stacey was one of the best in recent memory. Sally Field also returns as the wonderful Aunt May.

In addition, Marc Webb takes things a bit too far. There were so many characters to keep up with (I thought) and the balance was just not there. I think Electro had fifteen minutes of actual screentime and two battles. Granted, those battles were slick, cool and engaging. I just wanted a little bit more of that blue looking smurf guy. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was trying to make the audience feel empathy and to be sappy. The theme of the film is resounding throughout, about facing your fears and dealing with life (something I can appreciate). It's just hard to take it seriously when the film tries to cater to a younger audience, instead of setting a tone throughout the whole film. Films like "The Dark Knight Rises" or last month's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" which solidified it's tone and never changed. "Spider-Man 2" distinctly goes back and forth and at times get's confusing.

Of course, what is a good Spider-Man film without it's villains. The resurrection of the Green Goblin is a sweet one. A big thank you goes out to Dane DeHaan for reinventing this character to groundbreakingly new heights. A way that James Franco or Willem Dafoe could never dream off. Was Jamie Foxx the best choice to play Electro? Sure why not. Was I particularly moved by his performance? not entirely. The character is fun but, if speaking literally, anyone can play it. The battle sequences themselves, were impressive. I screened the film in IMAX 3D and trust me what an experience it was. My heart was probably about to beat out of my chest in the film's climactic battle.The visual effects have improved vastly, since the last adventure. You can tell the crew had a much bigger budget to cater with.

Usually, the summer movie going season is a fun time. Studios release their big tent poles and never hold back. The summer is already off to a great start. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is a blast, and probably the best adventure we have seen the masked crusader in. Marc Webb has some nice stylized sequences that will make any fanboy happy. Not to mention any casual movie-goer. I will probably see this film again for it's fun energetic pace. The two and half hour run-time just flies by. I had some high expectations heading into this film. I mean if you're going to kick of the summer, you better do it right. Once again, Marvel and their ever expanding world of characters, never disappoint. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has brought new life into this franchise, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for these characters.

I really like the Easter Eggs in this movie , when i saw Mr Smite i was asking my self '' Okay they bring another villain in this movie". The acting was pretty good and i really enjoy the jokes. Ok but than it comes The End, i am a very big fan of Green Goblin but lets be serious taht the movie did not show the true power of the villain.Green Goblin its such a complex character and you cant show hes hatred and hes power in just 5 minutes. Than it comes the Rhino which it haves 2 minutes .
In my opinion The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a really pretty good movie, the actions scenes are very good but are few ( in the prespective of Green Goblin and Rhino) and i really recomand this movie to everyone who like mixed dramatic action movies and who grown up with these wonderful characters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was definitely something I would watch again for the fourth time. Marc Webb really knows how to strike a nerve when Gwen Stacy died. The scene itself was really sad, and the worst part of it was the fact that Spider-Man ALMOST saved her. I mean, his web was shaped liked a hand, like he was reaching for her himself, but in the end, it all ended up with her picture in the sky and the sound of a cannon. I loved Electro in the movie, Jamie Foxx really gets Max Dillon's character. I wish that he didn't die , because he was GOD-LIKE. Also, there was so many other things going on in the movie, I had trouble. My experience was kind of like when Spider-Man was catching the tubes in the beginning. Oh, here's Aunt May, oh now Gwen Stacy and now here's a vision of her dead father, now here's the Rhino. I bet there were people there that were just there because the Rhino was in it and walked out of the theater wanting to punch a wall. Also, there was the whole Harry Osborne thing with his dad, which I think was wasted talent since Norman died right away. I bet if you went to the bathroom at the right time, you would miss the entire thing. I did like the fact that it was a comic book movie, although the last one tried for a more realistic approach, and this movie did kind of keep that, but not too much. One of the biggest pluses of this movie though was the relationship between Peter and Gwen. They are dating in real life so it is kind of cool to reflect their relationship to the Peter and Gwen relationship since most of the filming between them was improvised.
Aside from the ten million things going on, this movie is pretty spot on.… Expand

This movie is really enjoyable, so, all these people who have children will enjoy it with them, but this movie has a lot of problems.
First, the script, which was made by 4 writers, so the movie is a complete disaster,in some parts, the movie becomes boring.
The film is saved by Peter-Gwen relationship, and a huge Harry Osborn, who is spectacular as the Green Goblin despite that he just appears 10 minutes, but I'm not convinced with his design, very attached to Heath Ledger's Joker.
The worst of the film, plus its script, witch covers many stories, is Electro, despite his wonderful special effects.

A highly recommended film, which has the best Spider-man to date, but it is not the best Spider-man movie,and it is not a film that should be taken very seriously… Expand

The visuals are fantastic, the sounds are fantastic. The acting leaves a bit to be desired from time to time, but it's probably because Andrew Garfield drifts between several persona states at the beginning, before the movie settles down and the main plot arc happens. The plot itself is amazing, and has top-level pacing all the way throughout. They've got more than one villain (Green Goblin and Electro) and they blend them together far better than Spiderman 3 mixed Sand Man, Venom, and James Franco Goblin.

The characters are well constructed and the plot is sturdy, yet it still surprises you now and again. I mean, who could predict that Gwen would… die?!?! The visuals are incredible, and the combination of electric music and lightning when Electro makes his first appearance is incredible, plus the creepy murmuring and whispering that seems to be Max's (Electro's) conscience. Peter also seemed quite real, dealing with real life problems, and not just villains. I would recommend this to anyone who is ready to be amazed.… Expand
