Most Forgettable Superhero Movie of 2014

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 2014)

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and I have to say, loving the first one and being excited for this... I was extremely disappointed. There really wasn't anything about this movie that grabbed me besides the villains, who didn't have nearly enough screen time (I can go on forever about the shoe horned Green Goblin at the end)and the whole plot of "Oh I love you Gwen Stacy! But I can't be with you because I feel guilty... But I'll still be with you! Now I won't." was really boring and felt done to death. What partially saved it was that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have great chemistry. There's a lot more I want to talk about but since I don't want to write multiple pages I'll just bring up my main problem with the movie that made it so forgettable to me: the plot.... is such... a mess.... if the movie was solely set up for other movies it would be okay, but as a movie it's just awful. The reason I'll always remember the Winter Soldier and Days of Future Past is because the plots to both of those were beautifully written, cohesive, and extremely interesting. This film just felt like a collection of random scenes that were meant to be Spider-man 2, but the editor took a bunch of crack before. I just can't recommend this movie for a full price 3D showing, but if you have a couple hours for matinée go for it. Oh and worst music selection to a movie I've seen in an extremely long time. Gone, Gone, Gone by Phillip Phillips almost couldn't have played at a more inappropriate time.
