What a trip!

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2014)

O my, I was expecting some serious action and laughs with this movie but what I didn't expect was the quality drama and tears in my eyes as well. We have a lot of superhero blockbusters coming out these years and most of them have a good combination of action/drama/comedy. It's hard to top that, but TAS2 does it loud and clear.
The story about what happened to Peter's parents when they left him is revealed in this movie, a new evil is created, an old friend full of grudge returns, the love story between Peter and Emma develops and Spider-man/Peter is trying to cope with all of this. In between the action scenes there is plenty of room for drama, character development, comedy but it never distracts from the story itself. They all serve the story and makes it more and more exciting to know what happens next. Because it's so well written, directed, designed and acted you shift from excitement, bursts of laughter, tears, enjoyment and back and forth.
Andrew Garfield is perfect as the nerdy, sexy, troubled, dauntless Peter Parker and Emma Stone delivers a great intelligent, brave, sultry, strong, struggling Gwen Stacy. And all the other actors around them deliver great performances as well. And with an exciting cliff-hanger at the end I can hardly wait for the third amazing installment.
The Amazing Spider-man 2 is an amazing trip and I loved every second of it. 10/10
