40% OK action flick, 60% teenage sob story

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2014)

I'm probably not be the most objective to review the second installment of the spider-man reboot, since I really don't find the actor that portraits the protagonist convincing...but I still gave it a chance. It wasn't terrible, but far, very far from good.
the action scenes were quit good, but there were so little of them that they didn't really help this film.
Most of the time (at least it felt like that to me) it was just annoying teenage drivel...I mean, I get it... Spiderman is a young adult with corresponding problems and that was another key factor how he got so popular, since it was easier to relate to him......BUT the comics never totally focused on that like this movie did.
Another problem this movie has is character development. The main villain started out quite promising (though a bit to over the top nerdy and helpless)but instead of focusing on him and using the potential he had for a kind of frankenstein-esque monster the producers choose to make him perform an emotional u-turn and become a one-dimensional bad guy.
the same thing goes for the other appearing antagonists. Harry Osbourne gets some air time but his transformation into his alter ego comes so fast and unauthentic that this movie would've been better of without him. I won't even start about rhino (though he was a dumb ass in the comics too.)
Another problem I had with the film was it's silly (or perhaps unnecessary) exposure of spidey's (non canonical) past and the stupid display of crowds (that for example can't get close enough to stare at a savage tank that fires randomly around itself...really....not even very stupid people are that dumb).
No...This movie sometimes bored me, then annoyed me and in the end left me somewhat unimpressed.
It is a cheesy product that devotes itself to satisfy teenage-clichés in the same manner that the twilight movies did ...but if that is your thing you should go for it.
