Improvement over the Previous Installment....But not much...

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2014)

I've been a fan of Spider-Man since I was a kid, watching the animated series and eventually Sam Raimi's trilogy. I was excited for a new movie in 2012, then I saw it and it sucked HARD. This movie is improvement but not much, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a perfect example of Hollywoods false advertising. The trailers of this movie were packed with action scenes of Spider-Man fighting Electro, Rhino, scuffles of Peter and Harry Osbourne (also that one scene in the trailers were Peter said Oscorp has had Peter under surveillance isn't in the movie at all.....). There really isn't much action in the movie really only 2 or 3 fight scenes as the movie is primarily about the relationship of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy which isn't too bad and is actually pretty good (Emma Stone was really the only thing I liked about the 1st film, and she's no exception to being good here).
Really the only good things in the movie: 1. Gwen Stacy & Peter Parker's relationship 2. Jamie Foxx as Electro 3. Electro vs. Spider-Man (Round 2) and that's about it
Cons of TASM2 1. Dane Dahaad as Harry Osbourne (over the top and unbelievable) 2. Green Goblin and Rhino (both were pretty pointless, The Green Goblin shows up RIGHT at the end JUST to kill Gwen Stacy than gets knocked out before she dies, and Rhino just had no business being in the movie at all). 3. The ending (The movie should've ended with Peter at Gwen's grave and consider retiring from hero work)
The movie I can't really explain in full detail with 1,000 characters but you should get the point. The movie is improvement but not much I still prefer Sam Raimi's trilogy (even the underrated Spider-Man 3) over Marc Webb's trilogy. The ending really hurt the movie, it would've been better off ending at Gwen's funeral and Peter contemplating his life as a superhero and the end credits could've been something that foreshadows Venom or the Sinister Six as the next villains of the sequel.
