Definitely did NOT live up to the hype.

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2014)

Amazing Spider 2 really did disappoint me, I will divide this review into two sections: Pro and Con.
Pros: The visual effects in this film were stunning as well as the screenplay, the great effects really made this movie 'pop'. The acting in this film was good, especially with Andrew Garfield considering he's a 30 year old actor he made you believe that he was a graduating high school student, he had so much fun with his role and Emma Stone played a great character that I enjoyed watching very much. I was happy that took a step away from that dark tone that the movie crew tried achieve in the first one, Spidey definitely belongs in this type of upbeat environment.
That's pretty much it for pros of the film. Yeah, not much.
Cons: Everyone gave the 2007 Spider Man 3 so much crap for having a clunky and lazily written plot but that's exactly what we got from this 2nd installment, just a horribly written plot, this movie tries to introduce so many characters that it completely prevents us from getting a better reboot. First we're introduced to Rhino, then Electro then Green Goblin AND you STILL have to sit through Peter's parents story which I personally didn't care for. The music in this was awful, we got some horrible dubstep combined with Hans Zimmer and those two do not mix well at all. Character development was very poor with a lot of the characters especially Electro's unjustified hate for Spider Man,at first he adored Spidey but then he gets into a brawl with him for being 'selfish' seriously for a guy that intelligent you'd think that he would have more sense than to assume that Spidey is selfish for being shown on times square screens. The costume choice for the Green Goblin was awful, but that doesn't make the movie any less good.
I enjoyed this film for the most part don't get me wrong, this movie is definitely enjoyable for a good 'turn off your brain summer movie" I was hoping to get a better movie bet hey you have to review what you get, not what you want.
