Unlike the previous film, which I liked only the second (third) time, I liked this Spider-Man immediately. I won't hide the fact that it scored points with me mainly because of the added perspective and really funny moments, but it is equally due to the bombastic action - much better and more imaginative than in the first film. The actors are every bit natural and likable, and the bad guys are alternately sympathetic and terrifying, as they should be. The finale made me hold my breath, even though I knew what was coming. Moreover, I don't even regret that Hans Zimmer replaced James Horner, because after some time (together with a few other people I don't know) he put together a really good music combining classical orchestra and electronics, and gave Spider-Man a nice fanfare theme. It's just a pity that Osborn Jr. didn't get more space, perhaps at the expense of Peter and Gwen's drawn-out romantic line.__P.S. The scene in the credits is completely unnecessary and bland, although from the X-Men world.__P.P.S. What about Uncle Ben's killer? Will we get to him in the next instalment?

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.

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%.

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."

Already with the first instalment I was telling to myself that Amazing Spiderman is a terribly unnecessary affair. On the other hand, this Spiderman is much more comic book-like, which makes it more interesting. It is true that although I went to see both of these movies with reluctance, at the end I was completely satisfied in both of these cases. The only shortcoming of the second instalment is the fact that there are more déjà vu moments reminding you of the first movie, especially in all scenes with young Osborn. Anyhow, the fact that the creators placed their bets completely on the cast made me watch this and spend over two hours enjoying the view. Andrew Garfield is cool and Emma Stone and Felicity Jones are great. So whether you like it or not, you just can’t be angry with this restart.
