The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is both thrilling and touching

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2014)

Just watched this in IMAX 3-D with my movie theatre-working friend. We both enjoyed this sequel to the Spider-Man reboot series. Andrew Garfield once again is fine as Peter Parker and it's nice to see Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy is still full of spunk as his love. Jamie Foxx is quite compelling as the main villain, Electro. Having a somewhat different background for Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) was also interesting. Quite lots of great action abounded but there's quite a touching denouement concerning Peter and Gwen that made both of us cry. I, myself, was thrilled to both see another Stan Lee cameo and hear the Spider-Man theme from the '60s TV animated show represented as a cell phone ring. So on that note, yes, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is highly recommended.
