Slightly Better than #1But Way Too Much Romantic Emotion

Rating: 7/10 (31 December 2015)

Stunning Spidey SFX and an impressive Production all around highlight this Sequel that comes off, overall, better than the first one. But the enormous amount of Romantic Angst, combined with the Parker Family's suffering from loss, is a bit much for a Super-Hero Movie and the Melodramatics and Emotional tugging bring this one down. There's just too much internal turmoil for this type of thing.
The Story outside the Personal Stuff is OK and there are layers upon layers of interesting happenings. Jamie Foxx's "Electro" is flashy and fantastic at times. The CGI is bright, glaring, and gaudy, but works nonetheless. There are many other Characters in an around Osborn Corp. Harry (Dane DeHaan) shows up. So does His Dad briefly.
Oscorp is shown to be an Evil breeding ground for present and future Super-Villains like Rhino, who makes a Cameo and there are hints of others. Overall, an acceptable entertainment, but these Comic-Book Movies have become such a huge part of the Cinematic Lexicon that expectations are high every time out and Fanboys are always pushing for perfection.
This one was considered a Flop, both commercially and critically, and #3 is a no go. Where is Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) headed? Search the "Web".
