Another Marvel Hit!

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2014)

I got to see a select screening of the new Amazing Spiderman 2 movie last night in Rochester, NY. It was exciting to see the big chase scene in the opening sequence (that was filmed right here in Rochester, in front of the building I work in).
But beyond that, the movie was a great follow-up to the first Amazing Spiderman. Spidey (Peter Parker) is still just a High School kid dealing with the loss of his father, the responsibility of being Spiderman and trying to fulfill the dying wish of Gwen's father to stay away from her to keep her safe.
The action scenes were great and exciting and we really get to see Spidey grow as both a person and a superhero.
Dane DeHaan portrays a chillingly creepy Harry Osbourne, who suffers from the same deadly disease that all of the Osbourne's have. He becomes obsessed with finding Spiderman, believing a cure to his sickness is in his blood.
Jamie Foxx plays a very electric Electro. A typical, unimpressive man who has been walked on by others his entire life suddenly gets super powers and uses them to exact his revenge.
All-in-all, it was a terrific movie full of fast-paced action scenes, a good story and some unexpected twists. I enjoyed it and think that you will too.
