Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2014)

The Amazing Spider Man 2 is something that falls short of its predecessor, and hits every branch on the way down. The action is loud, the acting is obnoxious, and the overall story is so jumbled and fractured that it is hard to keep track of what is going on. Andrew Garfield delivers a solid performance as Peter Parker while Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx and even the great Paul Giamatti fall flat...right on their faces. Marc Webb confidently directs his action but leaves the actual story and character development for the sidelines. While it is far from the most important thing a Spider Man movie should have, it would have been nice to have a coherent storyline to adhere too. The technical aspects of the film are somewhat mediocre, the CGI effects often look cheesy (ie. Jamie Foxx as Electro), the editing is very choppy and jumbled. This makes for a frustrating watch to say the least. I would say the biggest problem I had with this film was Dane DeHaan. DeHaan is a gifted and talented individual...but this film makes him look like a soap actor. Marc Webb seemingly fails to direct him as Harry Osborne with any confidence or competence, either or, it remains as the most disappointing and frustrating aspects of this film. Overall, the kids are going to enjoy this one, which isn't saying too much. Between the dozens of trailers they released online, when you walk out of Amazing Spider Man 2, you'll see every beat coming from a mile away. If you have kids, they will love this film and be thoroughly entertained...if you have a brain, you might want to switch it off when watching this and try your hardest to enjoy it because I know I didn't.
