The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The series with Andrew Garfield is certainly more likeable than the decade older one, even though they have almost the same visuals and love story. Emma Stone is more natural, Spider Man is more human-like (more realistic), and the action is more robust. However, it is still the most childlike comic book hero among the main ones, and it still isn't grasped as it could be – or rather, it is still a sterile Hollywood action movie with a lot of clichés, corny scenes, and expected twists that don't necessarily need to be there. It's the same thing for the twentieth time. It's charming, but it's already getting repetitive. (05/01/2014)

So this looks like the surprise of the year so far. I was quite worried, especially after seeing the dub-step trailers, but it’s good. In terms of story, maybe a bit too long, doing it harm, but still better than season one. Full of snappy lines and perfect, really elaborate action crowned by an iconic moment that once shook the foundations of the whole comic world. The repulsive Fox as Electro is watchable thanks to his skills, but anybody else would have been better in that role, anybody. Giamatti doesn’t make much of an appearance, but DeHaan makes the very most of Harry, Goblin is surplus to requirements and could have easily waited for the next episode. But anyway. After watching the trailers I was expecting a catastrophe, but in the end it was very strong number 4. I’m still happier with the overall mood than with Raimi directing. I’m looking forward the number three, it’s all started off very well. “What are you doing? No, I do the laundry." “Last time you did it, you turned everything blue and red." “Because I washing the American flag." (04/30/2014)

Great! I wasn't expecting much from the second Spider-Man movie and I had more fun than I did with the first one. From start to finish, it's a fast-paced and fun ride with an interesting and engaging story, gameplay visuals and perfect villains, of which Electro is the clear winner, giving me goosebumps every time he appears on the scene. 80%.

With the overlapping romance with Gwen Stacy, who is very iconic in the original comics, this story takes on a new dimension. The friendly enemy is also quite a nice element. It really doesn't take much to make even the umpteenth Spider-Man interesting, just don't retell the original and it's much more consumable. (01/20/2017)

How to rate a film that is visually beautiful, technically well-crafted and boosted by Hans Zimmer’s music, but its content is just so incredibly boring? After all, even animated movies for kids have more imaginative and fresher scripts that meet the kids’ parents halfway. Given that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 follows a long line of comic book blockbusters, the feebleness of its plot is unacceptable. Half of the film is filled with a romantic storyline, the monotony and clichéd nature of which leave the audience speechless, while the other half consists of skirmishes with bad guys that would look overused and dull already in the second instalment of Sam Raimi’s trilogy. Zero development, no winking at the viewer, nothing. Without any juice or a hint of creativity. Stale water boiled twenty times over. Nobody can make me watch the next episode; I’m quite done with Spidey. (04/24/2014)
