Nope. This reboot series stinks.

I'll keep this one short.
We are talking about a reboot of a series. Usually that would suggest improvement upon things that were glossed over in the originals (Sam Raimi flicks). These first two movies in the "Amazing" Spiderman have been anything but that. They have been bloated, relatively humorless, and lacking interesting action scenes.
I liked the actor and the setup for Harry Osborne, but him becoming "The Green Goblin," was pretty weak. He just puts on armor and all of the sudden is the Green Goblin. At least the Raimi flick developed that over a good amount of time despite its flaws.
The Rhino was ridiculous...Instead of closing the curtain on the movie a few minutes early, we have to sit through a boring and unimaginative fight scene with Paul Giamatti (wtf?) as a Ukranian gangster. Lame.
Is it just me or were the effects terrible? This looked more like a cartoon than a real movie. I won't even go into Electro. Not a good showing. It looks like a movie from early 2000's.
Script is light on meaningful dialogue or "themes" that Spiderman usually provokes. It's a pretty hollow script that just does the bare minimum to be considered a "plot."
Although it's not a good movie either, I liked the first "Amazing Spiderman" way better than this movie. This one has a bad case of sequel-itis...It just stinks.
I got bored about halfway through the movie, but watched it to get my money's worth.
