Cohesive stand-alone blockbuster of epic proportions, you must see

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2014)

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro" is a gripping sequel that is just so much better and tighter, than the first re-boot of the franchise "The Amazing Spiderman". At times the tone is quite dark, with stunning detailed visuals with almost non-stop action fight sequences, battling with multiple villains, starting with Jamie Foxx (Electro/Max Dillon), plus Dane DeHaan (Harry Osborn) of Oscorp as the main antagonist in a standout performance.
This villain Electro, is the combination of two characters from the classic Marvel Comics Universe, with character (mild Maxwell Dillon, who acquires superpowers in an accident and goes insanely villainous) with a character from the Marvel Comics "Ultimate Universe" (a leather-clad super-villain). "Gwen saves Spider-Man more (often), than he saves her. Gwen's incredibly helpful to Spider-Man ... "
You are so constantly and consistently entertained that you fail to realize that this SPIDERMAN sequel has just flown by, despite the longest running time of 142 minutes. Spider-Man must yet again protect New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten NYC. This time there are real deep and meaningful emotional challenges, seen in the on- screen romance between Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy). Despite being a Computer Graphics driven movie, it was filmed entirely in New York USA, and now is the largest film production ever shot in New York and New York City. USA MPAA Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence.
You must see the 3D cinema version, but visually even better when experienced in the IMAX 3D version. The director has very deliberately adjusted the focus, so that you concentrate only on the one part of the screen important to progressing the storyline. Such visual direction for 3D, is very reminiscent of Martin Scorsese's HUGO (2011) and Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 one and only 3D visual masterpiece "DIAL M FOR MURDER".
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 shown in 3D. Directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field.
SONY PICTURES for the character of Gwen Stacy, has re-interpreted and deviated from the source material. Look for Gwen Stacy clothed in a mint-colored coat plus purple skirt, referencing the controversial comic titled "Night That Gwen Stacy Died" story arc.
