Electro and green goblin had a lot of humanity behind them. Jamie Fox and Dane Daunhaunn (i probably spelled that wrong sorry) Play very well as the villains. Dane really brings out the creepynist is the green goblin. Now heads up green goblin is not in there very long nor rhino, but god dang the fight scene between Goblin and spidey was awesome! That would usually bother me that Goblin and Rhino wasn't in there very but you see the central villain is electro and they nailed him. This movie had great acting and CGI. I do like the fact they put spider-man's abilities to the full use. In the original trilogy by sam rami. Spidey's spider sense hardly worked. In this one its used to the max. The Fight scenes with all the villains were awesome. Ok now to Andrew Garfield and Emma stone. Andrew Garfield is the best casted choice ever for spider-man and Peter Parker. Its just the way he acts and talks that makes him more of a believable spider-man. By the way spider-man in this movie is hilarious. Emma stone played very well as Gwen stacy. She wasn't this damsel in distress for spider-man to continuously has to rescue like in the original trilogy. Like her better than Mary jane. This movie also has a huge emotional impact. It's much more Superior then the other super-hero movies with their emotional impact. Now the story does seems a little rushed and because of that. The plot is loose a bit. Thats my only criticism of the movie really. This movie also seems like a build up to the sinister six movie and that really the only reason why rhino is there and green goblin, but its a really great build done right. Also what I appreciate in the movie they did focus more on Peter and Aunt May. There is a huge connection between the two. In the original, she was hardly there. Just there to tell a lesson or a boring story that no one cares about. By the way, the movie has a great soundtrack. Especially Electro's, its awesome. its called: Paranoia. Go look it up. I also heard the 3D with this movie is awesome with this movie. Well thats what I heard. I could go on forever how AMAZING this movie is, but I'm gonna stop here. Go watch and I promise it worth the time.… Expand

This movie has some flaws fundamentally obviously but its nowhere near the franchise killer like Batman & Robin most MCUbots make it out to be. 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 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

Time has proven that Andrew Garfield's interpretation of the web-head was the most comic accurate and entertaining Sony has ever done. A movie for the ages and a very underrated one.

I think the emotional depth Marc Webb employed in this one is its main saving grace, that is, asides from the cool special effects and action scenes. But in all, this whole new Spider-Man reboot is nowhere close to the nigh-perfect original Sam Raimi trilogy. I mean, Spiddy gets to battle two super villains (almost effortlessly) and doesn't even scratch his suit? You know, that's the core difference between the two movies: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man had this authenticity about it and it was more believable, while Marc Webb's just plain shallow but still enjoyable (The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that is, 1 is a total no no for me).… 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
