For Peter Parker, life is busy. Between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen Stacy, high school graduation cannot come quickly enough. Peter has not forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away, but that is a promise he cannot keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

Very well executed

Aneesa Wardle

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I guess if I was to pick something good it would be the design of Spiderman's suit and some of the CGI done on him in the action scenes as well as the fact some of the actors look like they're trying. That's probably it. Everything else was very poor. The villains were hilariously cheesy, the story was just a complete mess, the tone was all over the place and it felt like a mix up between a sequel to the first 'Amazing' Spiderman and a trailer for a third installment that never came to be. The first time I watched this in 2014, I thought it was good. I really don't know what came over me that day. I came to to realise shortly after that it is just a cheesy, boring, cringe worthy, set-up movie that just failed on almost every level.

There's nothing much to say here. I had no idea I could be disappointed by a movie I wasn't even remotely excited for. I didn't like the first Amazing Spider-Man but it was a average movie as a whole, this movie somehow takes all the problems I had with the first one and either got rid of them and introduced some more, or kept them and somehow made them worse. The acting, unlike the original, is awful. No one is enthusiastic about anything and literally no one gave a damn. Electro looks stupid and his origin is just as stupid and Peter's romance with Gwen is inconsistent and not believable in the slightest. It's not as dark as the original but when it does try to get dark and dramatic they fail on every level. The ending, when Gwen dies and Peter is distraught I did not feel a single bit of emotion because they're relationship was done so badly and the acting never convinced me. I honestly do not get why so many people like and defend this movie as it completely bastardizes the Spider-Man character.

Every super hero needs a super villain. This episode introduces us to Electro (Jamie Foxx) and the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan). If that wasn't enough Peter (Andrew Garfield) must deal with his on again/off again relationship with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and he discovers the truth about his father (Campbell Scott) and Oscorp.I love these modern superhero blockbuster updates...except for maybe that "Green Hornet" thing. What the heck was that about?I will also say I disapprove of the character send off, but I'll get over it. The film contains drama and heart as well as good action scenes. If anything Spiderman was able to take care of his foes a little too easy.The film sets up for a crazy action sequel. Break out the popcorn.

I'm writing this review because this is my favorite Spider Man movie (despite what the critics say). Marc Webb and the team that produced his movie are an incredibly talented bunch, and the movie deserves better reviews than it received. To me, this movie sets itself apart through the telling of Peter Parker's relationship with Gwen Stacy and her late father...spoiler alert.Peter and Gwen's connection draws you in with its familiarity. I was heart broken when Gwen died (unfortunately) in the end. This movie deserves a high rating simply for having the "guts" to confront mortality and the reality of even a super hero's ability to save even the ones we love most. Phew...now that the heavy stuff is over I'll make a long story short. I had a blast watching this movie and I commend the writers for having he guts to include Gwen Stacy's death, and the talent to do it in a way that set this movie apart from every other super hero movie I've seen.
