What Superhero Movies Need

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2014)

I went to the cinema with doubts about this movie. After seeing about 20 trailers I though I had seen most of the movie ( plus the clips we saw were, to be honest, not the best ) but boy, I was wrong. With great action scenes, engaging characters and an entertaining plot this has to be the best Spiderman movie Sony have made.
The story focuses on Peter's personal life throughout most of the movie as he tries to keep a normal life with Gwen and figure out what happened to his parents. The main villain is Electro which is brilliantly acted by Jamie Foxx but unfortunately doesn't get enough screen time. The second villain is the Green Goblin, acted by Dane DeHaan who was not ( in my opinion ) the best choice of casting because he seems depressed most of the time and makes the character rather boring.
This film feels like you are watching a comic book rather than a movie, as it isn't all fight scenes and sadness because we see Spiderman save people rather than focus on the villain and destroy everything possible. Talking about destruction, the visual effects look amazing but seem a bit like a cartoon which is rather good to keep the feeling of a comic book.
Overall this film is entertaining but doesn't live up to the name amazing. I would recommend anyone to watch it as it is something new and basically a new genre of movie, a comic book movie.
