The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker returns as Spider-Man in this sequel that adds two new superpowered foes: Paul Giamatti as The Rhino and Jamie Foxx as Electro. Director Marc Webb, stars Emma Stone, Martin Sheen and Sally Field all return.
For Parker (Garfield), there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and loving Gwen (Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price - the emergence of Electro (Foxx) sees Parker confront a foe far more powerful than he, and his old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) returns proving all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

Flicks, Tony Stamp
flicksRushed into development by Sony before they lost the rights to the character, 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man was unsettlingly familiar, the previous incarnation of the web-slinger having been on screen just five years prior. This sequel works hard to establish a more unique flavour, but it's lacking in other ways, a tonal mishmash that never quite coheres into a good movie.
It's average
Let me begin this by saying I am not familiar with the original Spider-Man story from the comic books. I am indifferent to comics, which is probably the reason why I am outcasted by the plethora of fans who are infatuated with such franchises as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Avengers etc. All through my childhood I have never experienced an interest...
Huge disappointment
This convoluted mish mash did not seem to learn from the mistakes of Spider-Man 3. Pick your villain and stick to them. Overcrowded, this film didn't know if it was focusing on romance or action. Nothing flowed, seemingly chop and changing with every scene. Even though it started strong, it never picked back up after falling flat. Very little time spent...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Rushed into production before Sony lost the rights. The Amazing Spider-Man was a flawed yet fun Spidey movie. This sequel however, a huge disappointment. It has it's moments, but The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suffers from a lengthy, overstuffed 142-minute running time. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have great chemistry, but Peter Parker comes across as creepy,...
The Web Gets A Little Unstuck
‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ impressed the audience so much on its first outing, like comic-fans they forgave it for retroactively adjusting Spider-Man’s continuity. With this blooming success and an audience wanting more, we see the sequel coming 2 years after the previous with it setting Spidey on a path for running into foes bigger, badder and more...

pressWebb’s affable sequel is tough to dislike despite its tonal whiplash and clumsy script.

pressA satisfying second issue with thrills, heartbreak, gasps, and a perfectly judged slingshot ending.
