Tried To, But Failed

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2018)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 took a long time to get going. In the beginning of the movie I thought that Spider-Man was trying really hard to be that sarcastic, funny, wise-guy that Stan Lee realized, many years ago, Spider-Man was supposed to be. Certainly this franchise has come a long way since Toby Maguire's version of Spidey, but it still isn't quite there yet with Andrew Garfield playing the web-slinger.
I didn't really get into this movie until it started looking, feeling, and sounding a lot more like a Marvel movie does today. Until that point, I was considering more like a 3 or 4, rather than the 6-stars I eventually gave it.
I didn't see this film until 2017, so I think I was perhaps spoiled by the "new" Spider-Man and a host of fantastic Marvel movies that followed The Amazing Spider-Man 2's release in 2014.
If you're a fan of the "Marvel Galaxy" of movies, see this. If not, then save it for a day when there is nothing else to watch.
