If a movie has to advertise as much as this one did, RUN!!

Rating: 3/10 (3 May 2014)

This is a movie I was excited about when I first heard the were making it. Then you see the first trailer and the excitement builds, and that's pretty much where it stopped. They advertised the hell out of this movie, from the actors promoting it before other movies, the post office promoting it, you couldn't escape it. Just like with anything else, if you have to try so hard to get people to come, you know it's bad.
The first scene of the movie was one of the very few things I actually liked. Was it pulled off in very spectacular way? No, not really. What it did do though was kind of gave us (the audience) closure to what happened to Peter's parents.
The only other thing I liked about the movie was Electro (in a way). I actually found the scene where he get's his powers for the first time, and is actually alone, scared and confused. It brought actual life to the character which was great. Also I must add, I loved what they did with his voice. Almost like talking with a static radio voice. The parts with Electro, though not amazing, for lack of a better word, were the most interesting parts of the movie.
The movie itself felt way to cheesy. I like cheese in movies, but when it's done well, and not so over the top. This was just unbearable. Some scenes ended way to short. Some scenes took way to long to end. I actually found myself bored, waiting for a scene to end. I didn't like the Green Goblin/Harry Osbourne character. People are praising the actor, and I'm thinking to myself "For what??" He was incredibly forgettable. The score for the movie was just horrendous. When you hear a song telling Electro to kill Spiderman, umm it's getting pretty ridiculous.
My final gripe about the movie was Rhino's 2 minute cameo. Yes, I get it. They're setting up the next movie. Fine. Great. But that would of been much better as a post credit scene, then what you actually get.
I don't blame the actors at all. They are amazing amazing actors and actresses. This movie is purely the result of horrible writing and directing.
If you plan on seeing this movie still, well you've been forewarned.
