Better, but it's all been done better before

Rating: 3/10 (22 July 2017)

After the carbon copy remake of 'Spiderman' (2002) that was 'The Amazing Spiderman' (2012). albeit with Gwen Stacy as the love interest (played beautifully by Emma Stone) rather than Mary-Jane, proved successful it was no surprise to see Andrew Garfield (still too cool for the role) return in this sequel.
It's a better film than the one that preceded it, mainly because it's not having to cover the origins of Spiderman, and also it doesn't just feel like a copy of what Sam Rami did in his trilogy of films a decade ago.
Emma Stone is the best thing about this film, effortlessly playing what is essentially a thin role, but Jamie Foxx is good as the villain too.
Like me, Marvel obviously weren't convinced by this these films. Garfield got the boot, and yet another 'Spiderman' reboot has just been released.
