The Amazing Spider-man 2 is an 'amazing' film that takes place in an 'amazing' place where people stand a few yards from chaos to watch spider-man fight his enemies as if they were watching a Broadway show. A movie in which the villains wait until spider-man gives a speech to rouse the crowd and then proceed to spray bullets like skittles or shoot out electric bolts: none of which cause any fatalities to onlookers or people sensible enough to flee the scene. To really enjoy this movie, one has to let your inner child emerge and not to expect a superhero movie that will test your intellect. All credit most go to the director however for bringing back the lighthearted spirit of earlier superhero movies, before Christopher Nolan found success in making a darker superhero movie and every director copied his style since.
