I am so frustrated by this movie!

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2014)

One one hand I want to say this is the best spider-man movie ever. That is because I feel like it get's the Spiderman feel better than any other movie. The previous (non-amazing) Spiderman movies were a little bit of a disappointment to me because it really didn't feel like Spiderman was anything special as a super hero as his main feat was web shooting and strength, whilst in the new spiderman movies you really do feel his agility coming through, he seems to really rely more on his senses which makes for a much more fluid spiderman experience in my view.
On the other hand I am frustrated with how terrible other aspects of this movie are, if development is to be done on the protagonists family it should be done in the first movie because at this point we have lost interest in the past and we look more to the future. I think the acting was all around bad, except for Garfield who is the better Spiderman. The plots going around were a little bit pointless, such as aunt may working at the hospital to pay for his college tuition... but there was no conclusion to that at all, we don't even know if he is going to college, at some point he was going to run to England to be do his spidey thing there but that was cancelled, and there is no resolution at the end whether they have problems any more.
Back on the positive side I must say that the story didn't progress in the exact form I thought it would, mostly because I imagined the villains would be more challenging but more importantly, I did not see Gwen's death coming which is always nice, one of my main marks of a good story is its unpredictability(regardless of knowing how it will end).
The villain, I thought electrode obviously had psychological issues but perhaps a little more screen time on him before he became electrode would have made his madness abit clearer since it can just seem like he is randomly loving and hating spider-man. The green goblin stuff was a little rushed but its probably just because they are setting up for the next movie.
The non-spidey script could have been better and the camera work could also have been a little less random...
Overall though because of how great the spidey scenes are(not necessarily the special/visual effects) I still think this is a good movie.
