A good film despite a few gripes.

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2014)

I was actually quite impressed with the first Amazing Spider-Man film so I cannot wait to see the sequel. When I did, I loved every single minute apart from a few gripes, which I will get into.
First off, Andrew Garfield is once again outstanding as our friendly, neighbourhood war crawler. His Spider-Man is more in homage of the Spider-Man from the 60's with his wise cracks and costume (Which I'll have to admit is far superior then the costume from the first TASM)
Emma Stone is good as always and the chemistry between her and Garfield was outstanding. Hands down the best romance I've seen in film of recent years.
Now the villains.
Jamie Foxx NAILS it as Electro, he, in my opinion, gives the best performance of the film. You can feel pretty sorry for the guy prior to his transformation.
Dane DeHann was quite good as Harry and I was actually rooting for him when he gets his revenge on the Oscorp executives. However, I felt his little Goblin transformation towards the end was rather shoehorned.
Paul Giamatti's Rhino could have easily been saved for another film as his screen time is rather short.
My gripes have to be the fact that A) There was a bit too much going on. And B) It did felt rather slow at times. And C) When Gwen mentions her Oxford future, its pretty obvious on what is going to happen.
Other than that, I thought the final result was good.
I do highly recommend it.
