The Amazing Spider-Man 2
The problem with killing a radioactive human/arachnid hybrid is it rains for, like, 6-weeks straight.
Luckily the wall-crawler in this action movie is hard to squash.
Concerned that his actions as Spider-Man could jeopardize Gwen (Emma Stone), Peter (Andrew Garfield) breaks things off with her.
To keep his mind occupied, he bonds with Aunt May (Sally Fields) and battles with Rhino (Paul Giamatti), Electro (Jamie Foxx) and the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan).
And while fate ultimately brings Peter and Gwen back together, it also heralds Spider-Man's greatest loss.
Although it's bloated on villains, this sequel is the closest to the character this franchise has come.
Garfield's bogus Brooklyn accent notwithstanding, his sinewy stature and breezy banter evokes Marvel's mascot better than his predecessor.
What's more, its treatment of the infamous Gwen Stacy storyline is longwinded but laudable.
However, nothing is more humiliating than a super-hero walking his girlfriend's teacup Chihuahuas.
