Storyline
We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself: the
struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities
of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is See more polls
about to begin. It's great to be Spider-Man. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like
swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen. But
being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from
the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must
confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter
comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

Spider-Man more on his plate than he can handle in this sequel
28 July 2014 | by JohnnyPHreak (United States) See all my reviews

I'm an unabashed die hard fan boy for Spider-Man. There I said it. You can call me a homer for
anything Spider-Man. I wasn't a happy camper when I heard they were rebooting the films
that I fell in love with. The first two Raimi films for me were great. The sequel still holding up
today as one of the best superhero movies of all time. The first Amazing Spider-Man was a bit
jarring for me. I walked out of the film not knowing what I thought about it. I enjoyed Andrew
Garfield's Spider-Man but his Peter Parker didn't click with me. I also had some nit picky things
about the film as a whole (Gwen instead of Mary Jane, lackluster villain). But watching the film
a few more times I realized that I liked it.

I do research on films that I'm excited for. This film came out weeks earlier in the UK and
Europe. And the reviews were mixed which was sinking my high hopes. I didn't like the fact
that there were three villains (More on that later). But it seemed like they were choosing the
right actors for parts and surrounding the film in talent. After much heart and headache
reading people thoughts and reviews for me, I'm okay with saying I liked much of this second
Spider-Man film.

Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man and it seems he's embraced the part much more this time than
in the first film. His Spider-Man is having fun being the savior of the city. He's making the
quips, the jokes and the all around energy of his Spider-Man feels directly out of the comic
book. I am finally sold on his Peter Parker. Director Marc Webb finally lets the smart but dorky
Parker shine in a few scenes that are hilarious and engaging.

I'm still not an Emma Stone fan but she is a good counter to Garfield's Parker. They have
excellent chemistry. You can tell that these may be Webb's favorite scenes to shoot. When they
are on screen this huge summer tent pole film because a small drama about two people with a
unique love story.

The villains, there are three of them but not really. Let me explain. Rhino played basically as a
cameo by Paul Giamatti is really only on screen to show Spider-Man in action at the beginning
and end of the film. His main adversaries are Jamie Foxx's Electro who starts off as a man who
is saved by Spider-Man. He then becomes a obsessed fan only to in perfect comic book fashion
have a horrible accident that grants him superpowers. Foxx is okay, I wouldn't say he is awful.
He has some good moments and contrary to what has been written I think he only has one
cringe worthy line.

Dane DeHaan is one of if not my favorite actor working this moment. His method style works
so well in many of the films he's in and here it's perfect. His Harry Osborn is less cartoon-y
than James Franco's from previous films. He's creepy, spoiled, arrogant but dealt with a lot of
adversity. His chemistry with Garfield feels genuine. It doesn't feel forced like it could have
been. They are long time friends who have been distant but because of new circumstances are
forced back together.

The action is fun, fast and so Spider-Man if that means anything. The way they use his spider
sense was very cool. I want to see more of that. The small nods to the comic book are
fantastic. There are nods here and there to the upcoming sinister six film which doesn't cloud
the film. It's just there in the story that this is apart of a large story in the future. I was trying
to count the nods to the comic books. The only issues I had with the film was Peter's search
for what happen to his father was kind of just there to fill time. Also the great Sally Field as
Aunt May got only a few scenes. She was great on screen but mostly wasted.

Because this film is dividing fans I think I've pinpointed the problem. I'm a fan of the comic
books and this film feel like a few issues of the comic books aka a mini-series. There are
multiple stories, with multiple villains and a lot going on. I'm okay with the finally product and
eager to see the film again. For Garfield's performance, the chemistry with Stone and the
action scenes this film is a fun ride for any fan of the neighborhood web shooter.
