Action packed, cgi based, blockbuster

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2014)

The Amazing Spiderman 2 brings back everyone's favorite web crawler into a dastardly mess of emotional conflict, strained relationships, corporate intrigue and a new villain. There are many reasons to go see this movie not least of which is the popularity and blockbuster nature of this highly anticipated film. As a movie the plot itself stands for itself, barely but does suffice. There are also a lot of great action scenes with high quality cgi based cuts which add to the visual aesthetic of the film. Jamie Fox does an excellent job playing his role which adds to the air of the film and gives a lot of purpose to the plot which otherwise focuses on Spidarman/Peter Parker's personal life. Once you get past the lack luster nature of some of the scenes and cheesy romantic overtones you can actually dive into the characters and get a better understanding of the dark overtones behind the Amazing Spiderman series. All and all this is a must see film of 2014 and a great time if you are looking for 3D action and a highly visual experience.
