Amazing isn't quite the word

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2014)

I went into the movie with my expectations a little lower than the first installment and actually was happily surprised that this one was much more fun and written better than the first. While not my favorite Spider-Man movie (that belongs to Raimi's Spider-Man 2) I will say this, this Spider- Man film for sure pulled my heart strings way harder than previous ones. In fact it hit me harder than any other comic book movie ever has. This was all because of "the big scene". I'm talking about the clock tower scene. The way they handle Gwen's death in this movie is /perfect/. I honest got a little teary eyed. Overall it's a really really fun film. Anything perfect? Not at all, but really nicely put together and surprised me.
