brilliant in parts but sloppy in others

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2015)

The Amazing Spiderman 2 contained some really good elements such as chemistry between characters. Andrew Garfield returns to play Peter Parker and in my opinion he is still the best Spiderman to be put on screen yet. Despite being 30 when they shot this on the whole he captures all the mannerisms of Peter Parker, like his new fond confidence after starting to get used to his powers. This film also showcased his science brain something that was not illustrated in the Raimi movies. Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy had great chemistry with Garfield and it made the movie a lot more humane. Jamie Foxx as Electro was a good fit and he got a tad more character to him than Dr. Conners in the last film. My favourite parts of the movie was when Spiderman was just swinging and free falling around the city. The cinematography was amazing in this instance. Dane Dehaan was great as Harry Osborn but his friendship with Peter didn't have time to prosper thus meaning the Green Goblin was wasted too by being shoehorned into the film just to kill Gwen and set up for Sinister Six.The Rhino was in the movie even less than the Goblin meaning the movie was crowded not by villains but by needless sub plots. In the end the Amazing Spiderman 2 wasn't better than the first one as it was sloppy and overcrowded. The villains were wasted on the whole and the back and forth love story could have been condensed. I would still recommend it but a chance missed here i think.
