Amazingly bad movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 April 2014)

I went to see this movie with some friends on a Friday night. I didn't expect anything from this film, unless to be enjoyable. I was nothing less that amazed by the stupidity of the whole thing, even if it didn't start badly... The first sequence where Spider-Man chase a truck in Manhattan is at some point very impressive. The moment when we follow Spidey flying between the building, we almost feel like if we were with him. In fact, we could resume the movie with what I have already told : most of the action sequence are well directed, but apart from that, there's nothing to be satisfied with. Half of the film is focused on the Peter-Gwen love story, and I can guarantee you that you will do nothing else than sigh. And the villains! There's a lot to talk about (but not in good sadly...). To not spoil you, I will only speak about Electro. At first, his name is Max, but the problem is, that you don't have enough scene to understand the psychology of the character (if there is one), so you just think that he's just a very stupid guy, and I have to say that Jamie Foxx's interpretation is probably for something. And when he turn into a bad guy, well... we almost don't see his power until the last thirty minute, where Marc Webb must have noticed that we had seen enough of cheesy scene between the two lovers. So we get a terrible action scene, where the director put all the element he can. But it just turn amazingly bad, and we almost have an overdose of bad CGI - because yes, the CGI are bad. I could write a lot more to convince to not spend one dollar for this movie, but it would turn just as boring as the film was... The first was bad, the second is worse.
