Completely devoid of thought

Rating: 2/10 (23 August 2017)

This movie is horrendous! Marc Webb should've done a lot better with this movie because he's a good director, but for whatever reason, he was just sleeping through this terrible movie. I didn't care of the first Amazing Spider-Man but wow, this film makes that film look like The Dark Knight! Everything about this film is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The is no plot to this movie, just like 9 ministries cobbled together randomly and none of them intertwine or mesh at all. The tone constantly goes back and fourth between loltastic comedy and dark drama/thriller, and it makes no sense. The performances are all dreadful, starting with Jaimie Foxx (yah, a buff black guy as a dweeby nerdy scientist, I bet Vin Diesel was their second choice) and then Dane Dehaan and then Andrew Garfield himself. The music is so damn grating, like whose bright idea was it to put dialog in the musical score...WHILE the characters in the film are talking? There are moments where both the musical score is talking and the characters are talking and they overlap each other. It's awful! Electro is a dumb villain with a dumb motive that isn't even really clear (so, he's made that Spider-Man forgot his name? Now he wants to destroy the world? WHAT?) Rhino is completely wasted (also, Paul Giamatti as a gangster is hilariously bad) and Oscorp has no meaning in the film. The dialogue is horrendous too; half of the lines are said twice in a row for some reason ("I'm going to work, I'm going to work!") and one of the worst lines ever is when Emma Stone says "I break up with you" like a caveman. Spider-Man himself is also extremely annoying. Like the minute long sequence of him arguing with his aunt about...laundry? Oh, and don't forget, this is the "dark" and "serious" Spider-Man, which is why we have scenes with Parker arguing about laundry or Spider-Man pulling down Rhino's pants...oh yeah, that's dark and gritty all right! Man this movie is awful. Marc Webb is a good director but this movie is completely awful, like he just slept through this film. Please don't see this film.
