Interestingly terrible

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2019)

Director Marc Webb is not the one to blame for this travesty of a superhero flick, nor is Andrew Garfield, I blame Sony for their awful attempts at a cinematic universe, and their constant product placement where I played a game of pointing out how many Sony products there were. The story is lackluster, and has so many plot-points that are either dropped, or go nowhere. Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Spider-man is much more lighthearted and fun but confusing on his motivations. The story continues from the also dropped plot points of the first Amazing Spider-man movie and does nothing satisfying nor entertaining with it. Jamie Fox's Electro is the only fun part, he tries his best with the dumb cartoonish character he is given. The green goblin is a wasted villain who only exists to be put on the poster, as with Rhino who is awful and cartoony in this film. The music is awful, Hanz Zimmer doesn't seem like he put any effort into the score, and Pharell Williams puts out of place songs everywhere. The special effects are amazing with the Spider-man web slinging shots looking the most realistic, and are overall fun. The plot is dumb, the writing is atrocious, but it's the best looking Spider-man movie ever made. This film has a little bit of style, but no substance. If you're a die-hard Spider-man fan, than just turn your brain off, or watch it out of curiosity.
