A pretty good film but a let down from the first

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2014)

When I saw "The Amazing Spiderman 2" in theaters I had high hopes that it was going to be as good as the first. It wasn't.
Let's start with the positives. I liked Electro's storyline and the fight scenes between him and Spiderman were awesome. I liked the opening chase scene and the chemistry between Peter and Gwen. I also liked Peter and Aunt May's scenes. Now let's move onto the negatives of the film. And If you don't want to read any spoilers leave in 3,2,1.
Now what I didn't like about the movie. I didn't like Harry Osborn becoming the Green Goblin. Norman Osborn should have been the Green Goblin in this one instead. Another thing that bothered me was the way in which they killed Gwen Stacey off. I would of liked for them to have been more faithful to the comics.
I also didn't like Richard Parker's storyline as it was hyped for much of the film but there was no end reward. And I didn't like how they forgot about Uncle Ben's killer. Not cool writers. Not cool.
Adding to this I would have liked to seen another movie with Gwen Stacey meeting Mary Jane. They were friends in the comics and it's a shame that they couldn't develop that into "The Amazing Spiderman 3". Maybe they can do that in the next Spiderman reboot.
In conclusion it was a pretty good movie but it didn't live up to the last one for me. I know people will say otherwise but I just wanted to share my on honest and open opinion of this movie.
