The not so amazing Spider-Man 2

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2014)

I have no idea why everybody is so hyped about this not so amazing rendering of the web crawler. Sony proves to me that they are willing to do anything with our friendly neighborhood spider man except surrender the rights back to Marvel.
Plot: This story is so convoluted and crowded that it makes my head spin. It drops to the lowest level when the scientist that was willing to do anything to stop the big Osbourne corporation from acquiring his research secrets but keep them a secret. He literally spells out for anyone to hear that his bloodline is the key to continue his work. How is he protecting Peter by doing this? The bad guys are bad just because the movie requires them to be. There is not a single compelling character in this film, not even Peter, who in comparison to the Universe everyone seems so eager to forget, has sacrificed nothing and suffered through no adversity. How is this comparable to the comics again "fanboys"? The best part was Gwen's death and they ruined it in the same movie. They could have ended it right there with Peter sulking over her death and leaving me hungry for the next installment to see him get back on the saddle. But no, they were much more interested in throwing everything even the kitchen sink into this film and completely ruined something that had a decent start with The Amazing Spider-Man.
Verdict: Not worth it man. I'd rather suffer through Spider-Man 3 than endure this unnecessary reboot. Yeap, that bad.
