Uneven pacing and storytelling, that wastes some great performances

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2014)

The Amazing Spiderman never really found its stride, and this movie suffers from the same problem. This is really a shame, because Andrew Garfield really embodies the Spiderman character and Jaime Foxx tried with what he was given. Even though nobody would ever believe that Peter and Gwen are 18 year-olds, that isn't the main problem. The real issue stems from trying to jam too many characters into a single movie. Three villains were not really necessary, and movies can seldom handle 2 main villains (Excluding TDK). The volatile relationships of Peter Parker at this point have become too cliché, and is a reoccurring plot point in every Spiderman movie. The action scenes standout.
