The Amazing Spider-man 2 is Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2014)

Garfield is Spider-man; that much I think we can all agree. He fills out the character with displays of wit and an emotional depth so in-tune with who Spider-man is that he deserves accolades. This movie shows you what it is to be Spider-man. Previous films have shown web slinging, Spidey-sense, combat, and his relationships to varying degrees of success, but never so greatly as this one.
The flapping fabric of the suit, the sheer vertigo (can't wait to see it in 3D), and sense of speed all combine to make you feel what it's like to be Spidey. It's awesome! When things get too hectic, the action slows down letting you soak it all in. The style is spot-on and nothing feels over done, which is fantastic because Jamie Foxx as Electro is quite the visually demanding villain. His performance is superb, as with all the starring cast. The writing and editing, combined with A+ actors, creates a believable, naturally progressing story line. One that draws you in for the ride and then, to really hook you, add Hans Zimmer's soundtrack on top of that. It's the frosting on the cake, and it's so good that you go for a corner piece. The only way the this movie disappointed was the fact that there wasn't more (also, I could have used more Paul Giamatti).
Definitely a set-up for future movies, so I can't wait to see where Spidey goes next. Highly recommend!
