It's bigger, but not necessarily better.

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2014)

There is a lot to see in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 and not all of it is that great.
Some pretty "amazing" action scenes, cool CGI (visually the movie is great) and great acting save the movie from being a complete mess.
It's dumber, messier and unnecessarily longer than it's previous installment and as it's predecessor it feels like an incomplete set of sequences, with seemingly random tonal shifts, that never make a whole movie. There are way too many characters wrapped up in an overall decent plot, but that never tells too much - This new reboot on the franchise always feels like a backstory to me, I guess the huge production values and the fine acting makes up for all of it's major flaws.
The main problem with the movie though, is that it is a constant attack to the viewer's intellect. You'll have an hard time swallowing some of the scenes, and some of the characters, if you're not a 10 year old kid.
I wasn't expecting much of this, and still, I left the theater disappointed.
