The Amazing Spider-Man 2

There is still Spider-Man's personal turmoil, crises of romance and loyalty, that Webb occasionally holds a few beats too long. Yet the performances ring true, with arresting chemistry where it counts.

Aerial sequences are often thrilling. However, interpersonal relations are front and center in this installment.

Lacks the origin-story freshness of its predecessor (even if the inaugural Garfield Spider-Man came only five years after the final installment of the Sam Raimi-directed Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy). It lacks a charismatic central character, too.

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.

Folks, I confess: I'm coping with a mild case of arachno-apatha-phobia, defined as the fear of another so-so "Spider-Man" sequel.

Ultimately, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is noteworthy for one thing—not waiting until the third or fourth film to achieve the overstuffed, increasingly garish look one associates with less popular (2007’s Spider-Man 3) and outright ridiculed (1997’s Batman and Robin) franchise efforts.

The project as a whole conveys a drab sense of bureaucratic necessity, a "let's get this over with" wheeziness.

The amazing Spiderman 2 review I love opening Action pack fight scene I love Dolby vision yeah I love all the fight scenes in action scenes. I love how when Gwen died her back hit the ground made $200 million budget May 716.9 million box office hit Sony got back 358.45 million dollars back 5 star 10 out 10 star 100 out 100 star

Visually i think Marc Webb's did the most incredible and simply the best Spider-Man shot in every Spider-Man movie including now the three seperate live action movies and actors, and he still include those impressive shot in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, what flaws in this sequel was that compare to the first one, it just filled with weaker story, weaker performances, and just weaker villain, and it's quite disappointing overall.

The movie is dead average for most of the runtime. The villain is poorly designed, and the romance issues between Peter and Gwen aren't very interesting. However, the ending is awesome, and actions from the first film actually have consequences in this one.

Yikes, what happened here? The villains are terrible, the story falls apart, dramatic parts are rather laughable. Harry is straight up garbage. I can at least appreciate that it doesn't take the usual "everything is great and will be solved" approach. After how good the previous film was, this is a huge downgrade from it.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an even bigger mess than Spider-Man 3. Like Spider-Man 3, this film has multiple unlikable villains that drag the plot all over the place. Unlike Spider-Man 3, it's also tasked with the unenviable position of setting up a Marvel-like cinematic universe comprised of only Spider-Man characters. If they tried (and failed) to recreate Batman Begins' success with the first Amazing Spider-Man, Sony wants the second one to be their Avengers-like payday. Every bit of it falls flat on its face.
